2026 - Veteran Kenyan gospel singer, Daddy Owen, has shared little known
details about his past relationship with a white woman, revealing how cultural
differences eventually led to their breakup.
Speaking on his podcast on Thursday, January 29th,
2026, Owen said their connection began quickly and intensely.
“Ashapigia buda yako simu, buda yake ananipigia, things were moving
very fast,” he recalled.
Despite the excitement, Owen admitted that culture soon
became the biggest challenge.
“With this chick, one of the hardest things…the only difference was
tulianza kuclash on culture,” he explained, adding that his strong
Luhya roots made compromise difficult.
“Si unajua mimi na u Luhya yangu siwezi bend, kuna vitu siwezi
kubali zifanyike.”
The singer revealed that his partner wanted them to relocate
to America, but at the time his music career in Kenya was just beginning to
flourish.
While she was already established as a nurse, Owen
questioned what future awaited him abroad.
“Exactly what am I coming to do in America?” he asked,
realizing the move would not work.
Eventually, the couple parted ways, with Owen even accompanying
her to the bus station.
Reflecting on the relationship, Owen described it as a
learning moment.
“There are so many things nili realise zingekataa kuwork,”
he noted, emphasizing that love alone is not always enough.
