In an exclusive interview with Radio Maisha, Daddy Owen emphasized that the connection between him and Charlene is purely platonic. He expressed frustration at the speed with which rumours spread, attributing much of the speculation to fabrication. “This is something I’ve discussed in the media. People are quick to fabricate stories, but the truth is straightforward. I’ve never publicly declared that Charlene and I are romantically involved. We’re just friends,” Owen stated firmly.
According to the singer, Charlene has been a supportive friend, standing by him through various endeavours. He highlighted their mutual support for each other’s projects as evidence of their friendship. “Charlene has been an incredible friend in my projects. Likewise, I’ve supported her initiatives. There is nothing beyond that,” Owen clarified.

As the rumour mill churns, it’s important to heed Owen’s words and take them at face value. Until further evidence suggests otherwise, it appears that the relationship between Daddy Owen and Charlene Ruto remains nothing more than a strong and supportive friendship.
