2025 - The family of Kenyan gospel singer, Betty Bayo, confirmed her
passing following a brief but courageous battle with cancer.
In a statement released on Monday, November 10th, the
family revealed that Betty died at 1:03 p.m. at the Kenyatta
National Hospital (KNH),
where she had been receiving treatment.
“We want to tell the public that today at 1:03 p.m., we lost
Betty Bayo. It is no longer a rumour - it is the truth,” the spokesperson said.
According to the family, Betty had been unwell since the
previous week and was later diagnosed with acute blood cancer.
“She was suffering from excessive bleeding, and the doctors
tried their best,” they revealed.
Despite being transferred to KNH on Friday and receiving
round-the-clock care, her condition deteriorated.
“The will of God has prevailed,” the family said, noting
that her body will be moved to Kenyatta University Referral Hospital
as burial arrangements begin.
“She was a dear friend… we loved her, but God loved her
more,” the spokesperson added.
Her ex-partner, Pastor Victor Kanyari, with whom she shared
two children, confirmed the heartbreaking news with an emotional tribute.
Kanyari wrote: "It hurts in ways I can’t
explain.”
“You
left before I could say everything I needed to.”
“I
still see you in every laugh our children give, in every little habit that
reminds me of you.”
“We had
our moments, but through it all, you were family.”
“I’ll
carry your memory, your love, and your spirit forever.”
“Rest
easy… you’ll always be missed.”
Betty, celebrated for her soulful gospel music and vibrant
personality, leaves behind a powerful legacy of faith, love and inspiration.
