Sky Victor’s TikTok account, which had grown to over 1.3 million followers, was no longer accessible as of Wednesday, November 11, leaving Kenyans wondering what happened to the teenage daughter of the late gospel singer Betty Bayo.
Sky had sparked widespread concern in late October 2026 through a series of livestreams in which she spoke candidly about a court decision awarding her father, Pastor Victor Kanyari, custody of her and her younger brother Danny.
She described a previous period living with Kanyari as traumatising and said she did not want to return to him, adding that his status as her biological father was “just a title.”
She went further to appeal directly to President William Ruto and the Kenyan public to allow her and Danny to remain with her stepfather Tash, where their mother had left them before her passing.
The posts drew enormous public attention.
Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo brought the matter before Parliament on November 4, expressing concern about a young girl who had lost her mother being regularly active online discussing deeply personal and legal matters while receiving unhelpful commentary from strangers.
She called on the children’s department to step in and urged lawmakers to tighten regulations protecting minors from harmful online environments.
A spot check by TUKO.co.ke confirmed the account was down, though it remained unclear whether TikTok removed it or whether Sky Victor chose to deactivate it herself.
The timing was particularly poignant as it coincided with the first anniversary of her mother Betty’s death.
The deactivation of the account followed not long after those parliamentary remarks, raising questions about whether the intervention played any role in what happened.
Kenyans on social media weighed in after news of the account going dark spread online:
