Arbantone singer VJ Patelo has hit back at critics following a dramatic incident involving him and his wife, Diana, at a Nairobi nightclub. The couple, who have remained in the public spotlight since their glamorous yet chaotic wedding, were recently caught in the middle of a violent altercation during a night out.
Weeks after their wedding celebrations captured national attention, Patelo and Diana found themselves making headlines again. Videos shared online showed the couple enjoying drinks at Quiver Eastlands before a confrontation with unidentified individuals turned ugly. Bottles were seen being hurled in their direction, forcing the pair to scramble for safety.
In the clips, Patelo was seen shielding Diana from flying objects and ushering her away from the chaos, while making heated gestures toward the aggressors. Despite his protective actions, the incident drew heavy criticism online.
Some social media users questioned the couple’s lifestyle, with a few suggesting that Diana should leave him. Others condemned the nature of their relationship, claiming it was not an example they would want to follow. Several advised Patelo to reassess his choices, comments that appeared to trigger his fiery response.
In a strongly worded online rant, Patelo dismissed any unsolicited advice and urged the public to stay out of his personal affairs.
“Let everyone mind their own business. Pilipili usiyoila ya kuwashia nini? Are you guys that single? Look for partners. Do not try to advise me. Do you guys even know who I am? Do not meddle in my life. When I was planning how to live my life, you were not there. You can just speak and then sleep because if we meet, I am only going to frustrate you. Do not try to even address me. If you are not married, find someone and get married. When I was getting married, you were not there to advise me, or did you choose my partner for me to marry? Mind your business. Wakudumu tutadumu,” Patelo said.
His unapologetic stance has since fueled more online debate, with some fans defending his right to live as he pleases, while others insist public figures must accept scrutiny that comes with fame.
The nightclub fracas adds to the couple’s growing list of publicized moments, underscoring how quickly their marriage has become a subject of national conversation. Whether embraced as a love story filled with loyalty or criticized as a cautionary tale, VJ Patelo and Diana continue to draw intense public attention.
