Following the burial of her mother, gospel singer Betty Bayo, 13-year-old Sky Victor has spoken publicly for the first time about her relationship with her biological father, Pastor Kanyari, and her stepfather, Hiram “Tash” Gitau. The discussion comes amid widespread speculation over custody arrangements and family dynamics.
Clarifying Her Relationship
In an emotional video, Sky emphasized that she had not rejected her biological father, dismissing claims that she had “taken sides.” She highlighted the importance of both men in her life, stating that each plays a meaningful role in her upbringing. Sky urged the public to stop spreading misinformation and to verify facts before forming opinions, emphasizing that online speculation was creating unnecessary tension during a time of mourning.
Honouring Her Mother’s Legacy
Sky also reflected on the encouragement and support she received from her late mother. She shared that Betty Bayo had always motivated her to pursue her dreams, including her interest in content creation. Sky described watching her mother’s casket being lowered as a deeply heartbreaking moment but affirmed her commitment to honouring her legacy by remaining focused and determined.
Family Custody and Co-Parenting
Questions about the care of Bayo’s children have been addressed, with Pastor Kanyari allowing the children to stay with Tash as he grieves the loss of his wife. During the funeral period, Tash reportedly asked who would remain with the children, and Kanyari encouraged him to take them, believing their presence could provide comfort and support during his mourning.
Both fathers are expected to continue co-parenting, maintaining the approach Kanyari and Bayo practiced before her passing. Sky’s heartfelt message highlighted the importance of unity and the children’s wellbeing, serving as a reminder that cooperation and love, rather than division, are essential during this difficult time.
