Hours after Kenyans threatened to troll all her brands, socialite Diana B, wife of musician Bahati, has issued a sincere apology for failing to attend the Finance Bill protests.
Diana explained that she has been unwell and on medication for a while and asked Kenyans to forgive her for not joining them in rejecting the bill, which has been widely labeled as “draconian and oppressive.”
She defended herself by stating that she would have loved to be on the streets, but her illness, which has plagued her for over a week, has kept her reliant on medication.
Diana, who, along with her husband, recently faked a separation to gain traffic for their Netflix show, explained that she didn’t want to share news of her illness earlier because she didn’t want to appear weak or seek sympathy.
