The dramatic incident allegedly unfolded at Mugumo Estate in Kiambu, where a private ceremony was held following the public service at Ndumberi Stadium.
According to Cukura, Wanja slapped him and physically obstructed him from accessing the late singer’s gravesite, which was restricted to close family and a few invited guests.
In a viral video, the blogger narrated how the altercation escalated when Wanja’s private security reportedly intervened, pushing him away as emotions flared.
Cukura insisted he was there to cover the event and pay his last respects but was shocked by the aggression he encountered.
Responding to the allegations, Wanja Nyarari dismissed the claims as “attention-seeking drama,” stating that the burial site was a private affair, and only a select few had permission to enter. “No one was assaulted.
Security was simply doing their job. This was not the place for clout-chasing,” she said in a brief statement.
She added that while emotions were high on the day, especially given Betty’s massive following, boundaries needed to be respected to give the family space to grieve in peace.
The incident has sparked mixed reactions online. Some have criticized Wanja for allegedly using force during such a sensitive occasion, while others have backed her stance on protecting the sanctity of the private burial.
As tension around the event continues to unfold, Betty Bayo’s funeral remains a deeply emotional moment for her fans and family now further overshadowed by public confrontations and allegations.
