Wednesday, November 12, 2025 - In a deeply emotional reflection shared during a friends and family gathering on November 11th, 2025, award-winning Kikuyu gospel artist, Shiru wa GP, opened up about the harrowing night gospel singer, Betty Bayo’s health took a sudden turn.
Shiru recalled helping around Betty’s home when the singer
began bleeding heavily, sparking panic among those present.
“It was terrifying,” she said, describing how quickly the
situation escalated and her efforts to maintain calm while preserving Betty’s
dignity.
She warmed water and went upstairs to wake Betty’s house helper,
checked on the children, who were asleep in their bedrooms, and gave clear
instructions.
“Stay downstairs in case mum calls. Give her water. I’ll
return at 6 a.m.,” Shiru recounted.
After ensuring everything was in place, Shiru left for her
own home.
But the situation worsened overnight.
“It’s like when I slept, Betty started bleeding. It seemed
internal, maybe from the head.”
“When she woke up, she felt like she couldn’t breathe,”
Shiru said.
Betty reportedly got out of bed and began descending the
stairs as the bleeding intensified.
The house helper, realizing the severity, searched for car
keys and honked for help.
Neighbors and security responded swiftly, and one neighbor
rushed Betty to AAR Hospital.
She was later transferred to Kenyatta National Hospital,
where she sadly passed on.
Her family later disclosed that Betty had been quietly
battling blood cancer (leukemia), a condition she had chosen to keep private.
Shiru described Betty as a fighter, someone who wouldn’t
have gone quietly.
“She wouldn’t die silently. She honked. She fought,” she
said.
“She asked me not to let anyone take her photo. She wanted
to maintain her dignity to the very end,” Shiru shared.
