A throwback video featuring Yvette Obura, the mother of singer Bahati’s first child, Mueni, has resurfaced online, reigniting public interest in their past relationship. The clip captures Yvette candidly requesting Bahati to buy her a car and a house—requests that have sparked a heated debate among fans across social media.
In the video, taken from Bahati’s previous reality TV series, Yvette is seen visiting his office and expressing her frustrations about relying on taxis. She urges Bahati to consider buying her a car, not just for her benefit but for their daughter’s comfort as well. “What have you decided? When are you buying me a car? The car will be Mueni’s. Till when are we going to use taxis?” Yvette asked, adding that she usually sees three cars at Bahati’s residence.
When Bahati jokingly asked if there were rumors about him buying cars for people, Yvette didn’t back down. She suggested they take one of the vehicles already parked at his compound if getting a new one was a problem. Then, she pivoted to another big ask: a house. “Okay forget the car then, when are you buying me a house? It is just a house and I know it is something you can afford. My needs must be fulfilled,” she said firmly.
The exchange, while lighthearted, has divided online audiences. Some users praised Yvette’s boldness, saying she was advocating for her child’s well-being. Others criticized the approach, comparing it unfavorably to Bahati’s wife, Diana Marua, who they claimed doesn’t make such direct demands publicly.
One user commented, “Mama Mueni deserves it,” while another wrote, “Dee gets gifts quietly, but this one is demanding. Men don’t like that.” Others found humor in the clip, with comments like, “Wewe unauliza na Diana analetewa tu hadi analia.”
Despite the mixed reactions, the video has brought renewed attention to the dynamics between Bahati and the two women in his life—Yvette and Diana. While it remains unclear whether Yvette ever received the car or house she asked for, her openness and unfiltered communication style have certainly kept fans talking.
The resurfaced moment is a reminder of how reality TV can preserve personal history and influence public perception long after the cameras stop rolling. Whether the clip changes how fans view Bahati or Yvette, one thing is clear: it has reignited conversations about co-parenting, entitlement, and public versus private displays of need in celebrity relationships.
