Musician Bahati and comedian Eddie Butita are caught in a lighthearted feud after the release of Diana Marua’s comeback track. The song, Saree, has been trending since Diana declared herself the “best rapper in town married to a rich man.”
The buzz surrounding the track took a twist when Butita posted a parody video. In the clip, a woman is seen rushing to a coffin, throwing a music disk inside, and immediately silencing Diana’s song. The video quickly went viral, sparking laughter and debate across social media.
Bahati, who has been actively promoting his wife’s return to music after a two-year break, did not take the parody lightly. Reacting in the comments, he jokingly threatened Butita, saying once he finishes buying TV47, he would also acquire SPM Buzz to send the comedian “back to the village.”
Butita responded with equal humor, referring to Bahati as “the wife of a rich man,” a jab that reignited fan reactions. The exchange drew hundreds of comments, with many Kenyans taking sides in the playful clash.
Some netizens dismissed Diana’s music, saying even she would not listen to it, while others praised her confidence and fashion sense in the video.
The controversy also highlighted Diana’s bold claims of outshining top rappers like Khaligraph Jones and King Kaka, whose posters she discarded in her video.
Meanwhile, Diana has been in the news asking Bahati to move their family to a safer home after security concerns at their gate.
Bahati assured her of protection, even hinting at plans to acquire a gun—an idea that sparked its own round of heated reactions online.
For now, fans remain divided: some defending Diana’s artistry, while others insist the music should stay muted.
