In a video broadcast two years ago, Diana Marua said that she had dated numerous men for financial gain, and the video has just gone viral, making her a household name. Her goal was to encourage young women to put forth effort and faith in the system even if they are unsure of the future.
However, the video was taken completely out of context, and people began associating old images of her with guys with the video.
An old photo of Jalang’o and Diana appeared online, drawing him into the middle of the controversy. There were rumors that he and Diana had an affair, and that he was one of the several men who provided her with money before she finally settled down with Bahati.
In an interview with Mungai Eve, Jalang’o commented on the situation, saying that he finds it disheartening when people misinterpret his words or make assumptions about him without having all the facts.
Years ago, he mentioned, Diana shopped at a friend’s boutique and he was there when she came in. Diana asked for and received his photo because he is a powerful figure in her life.
To be honest, it wasn’t until someone showed him the photo and the article three days ago that he even remembered the incident.
Since Diana’s disclosure of her past was done out of compassion, not malice, Jalang’o has offered his condolences to her. She was urged to ignore her detractors and keep up her tireless effort.
