Hiram Gitau popularly known as Tash,has shared a reflective message about fatherhood amid continued public attention surrounding the care of Pastor Victor Kanyari’s two children with the late gospel singer Betty Bayo.
Tash who was married to Betty before her death, shared the message on social media while addressing the wider meaning of being a father. His post focused on the importance of being present in a child’s life rather than only providing financial support.
The message comes after months of public discussion involving Tash and Kanyari over the welfare and custody of Betty’s children,Sky Victor and Dani Victor.The two children are Kanyari’s biological children with Betty,while Tash became their stepfather during his marriage to the late singer.
The custody dispute became more public in June 2026 after Kanyari raised concerns about his access to the children and said he had taken steps to have them under his care.
Kanyari later announced that the children had returned to his care,although the situation remained sensitive.
The developments attracted widespread attention because Tash had played an active parental role in the children’s lives while he was married to Betty.
Reports about the family dispute have continued to generate discussions about the difference between biological parenthood and the role played by a stepfather who has been involved in raising children.
Against this background,Tash’s latest post placed emphasis on the emotional connection between fathers and their children.
He highlighted presence,love,guidance and shared memories as important parts of fatherhood.The message also encouraged fathers to think beyond their financial responsibilities and consider how their children will remember them as they grow older.
Tash also raised questions about whether children would remember their fathers for their love, sacrifices and time spent together,rather than simply for paying bills and providing material needs.
His remarks have drawn fresh attention because they come shortly after the public custody dispute involving Kanyari and the children.
While Tash did not directly mention Kanyari or the custody matter in the message,the timing has led to increased interest from followers familiar with the family’s recent developments.
The post adds another layer to the ongoing public conversation surrounding the children,their relationship with both men and the different roles each has played in their lives.
