Betty Bayo's widower Hiram Gitau, popularly known as Tash, has broken his silence over allegations that he intended to misappropriate the KSh 10 million donated at the late gospel singer's burial, addressing the claims directly in a new video posted on November 3, 2026.
The donations came from Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, who contributed KSh 5 million, and President William Ruto, who also contributed KSh 5 million, both amounts earmarked to support Bayo's children.
However, Bayo's former husband, controversial preacher Victor Kanyari, publicly accused Tash of having designs on that money.

Speaking during court proceedings, Tash explained that he had approached Kanyari with a proposal to channel the funds into a joint trustee account accessible only when the children turn 18.
He said the two met at a place he identified as Glee to discuss the arrangement.
He expressed frustration that Kanyari then took to social media claiming Tash wanted to set up an account solely to siphon the money for personal use.
Tash flatly denied this, saying he has his own finances and has not spent a single shilling of any brand earnings made through the children's content.

Tash also addressed a separate dispute over a house Kanyari allegedly claimed was located in Rwanda during court submissions.
Tash pushed back firmly, saying the property is situated in Kimbo, in an area he identified as Deke, and not in Rwanda as claimed.

Earlier, TUKO.co.ke featured Tash after he responded to accusations that he had prevented Kanyari from accessing Bayo's children, saying video evidence available online shows him personally walking the kids to Kanyari's gate for visits.
He recalled one particular occasion when Kanyari returned the children the same evening, telling Tash the kids were "very nagging" and that Tash was "the only one who can be able to live with them."
Tash said he later confronted Kanyari about why he continued making access-denial claims online despite this, and Kanyari's response was blunt: "You don't have to worry about me. I'm a content creator."
