Tanzanian gospel singer Rose Muhando has publicly denied claims of marriage to Kenyan preacher Robert Lumbasi, leaving fans confused after Lumbasi announced the union. The Nibebe hitmaker seemed visibly agitated during a recent interview, making it clear that she does not consider herself married to the preacher.
Robert Lumbasi surprised the public when he revealed that he had married Rose Muhando, stating that he paid her dowry in Tanzania in 2023. During a church service, Lumbasi introduced her as “the mother of my children” and “the anointed one,” while expressing love and respect for her. The moment was celebrated warmly by the congregation, with Rose blushing and briefly covering her face before speaking.
Despite Lumbasi’s claims, Rose Muhando clarified that she is not married to him. When asked about the union during a Thursday interview, she firmly stated, “Hapana, hapana, there is no such thing.” She reiterated her commitment to God and her ministry, emphasizing transparency in her life. She added that if there were nothing to report, then “there is nothing.”
Rose also addressed her personal aspirations, noting that she is still seeking a partner who aligns with her values and can provide both genuine love and financial stability. She jokingly referenced her previous prayer to marry a wealthy Mzungu man, saying she has yet to find the right partner.
The singer has been open about raising her three children on her own, guiding them through university without a father figure. Her clear stance on marriage reflects her independence and dedication to her family and ministry.
Fans on social media reacted with a mix of amusement and confusion, debating the discrepancy between Lumbasi’s announcement and Rose’s statements. The incident has sparked conversations about celebrity relationships, public declarations, and the importance of clarity in personal matters.
Rose Muhando continues to focus on her music career and ministry while maintaining her personal boundaries, showing that even high-profile figures can navigate love, faith, and family life on their own terms.
