Patelo has finally broken his silence after a video of his wife, Dee, slapping him inside a Nairobi club went viral, sparking mixed reactions online. Many people who watched the clip rushed to conclude that the couple’s relationship might be toxic, but Patelo has now come out to defend their love life, insisting that what happened was far from violence.
Speaking during an interview with comedian 2mbili, Patelo laughed off the viral incident, saying that Dee’s action was simply her own way of showing affection. According to him, the slap was not meant to hurt but to “wake him up” and make him more active in the moment. “That was love, not violence,” Patelo explained. “Sometimes we give each other hot lovely slaps, it’s just our way of keeping things lively between us.”
He went on to emphasize that people on the outside will never truly understand the uniqueness of their relationship. Patelo described their bond as “ghetto love,” a type of love where couples find joy in playful gestures that may not make sense to others. He noted that their marriage thrives because of the small things that keep them active and engaged with one another.
To critics who insist that Dee’s actions were inappropriate, Patelo responded by saying that their love is genuine, strong, and not defined by outsiders’ opinions. “We are happy together and that is what matters. We will remain together until death separates us,” he said firmly.
For those interested in hearing his full remarks, Patelo directed fans to watch the full interview on YouTube from the 16th minute.
