Pastor Victor Kanyari has hinted at renewed tension with Hiram Gitau, popularly known as Tash, over the co-parenting of his children with late gospel singer Betty Bayo. During a TikTok live session on October 5, Kanyari dropped a cryptic bombshell, suggesting that his arrangement with Tash was falling apart. He stopped short of naming Tash directly but urged followers to seek answers from 'certain people' while insisting he was choosing silence.
Kanyari's comments came just hours after a Sunday church service, with his eldest daughter Sky Victor spotted enjoying family moments at his home. The preacher revealed that he had stopped paying his kids' school fees, citing that there are some things he no longer speaks about or addresses. He emphasized that he was choosing to be silent on the matter, despite things going very badly behind the scenes.
The tension between Kanyari and Tash first erupted publicly after Betty Bayo's death in November 2025. Kanyari is the biological father of her two children, Sky Victor and Danivictor (Danny), while Tash served as their stepfather during his time with Betty. A custody dispute broke out, with Kanyari accusing Tash of blocking his access to the children and raising concerns about their school fees and general welfare.
School documents and bank receipts eventually surfaced showing that Tash had made substantial payments towards the children's fees at Woodcreek School. The children themselves reportedly expressed a preference to stay with Tash, with whom they had built a close bond. A court ultimately placed the two under Tash's primary care, while ordering Kanyari to continue contributing to their school fees and basic needs.
Kanyari was granted frequent and unlimited visitation rights, and for a period, the two men appeared to step back from the public fighting. However, Kanyari's latest comments suggest that the situation may be deteriorating once again. Despite the cryptic remarks, a spot check on Sky's social media pages showed her spending warm family moments at Tash's home alongside her younger brother Danivictor.
Whether Kanyari's latest comments signal a genuine breakdown or simply frustration vented in the moment remains to be seen. Kanyari, however, was emphatic that he had made a deliberate choice to hold his tongue, at least for now. He urged his followers to seek answers from 'certain people' and emphasized that even being silent is another language.
The children's handwritten “stay strong” message to Tash came as Gitau continues facing parenting challenges with Kanyari. The situation highlights the complexities of co-parenting and the challenges that come with it, especially in high-profile cases.
