Pastor Kanyari has dismissed claims by socialite Marion Naipei that she is expecting his child, describing the allegations as baseless and part of ongoing drama surrounding her public image.
Speaking exclusively, the pastor urged Kenyans to ignore Marion’s stories, saying they are tied to past incidents when she gained online attention.
“Leave Marion Naipei's stories aside. She has still not healed from the escapade when she was trending,” Pastor Kanyari said, adding that her claims are likely an extension of that period.
The cleric maintained that he cannot verify or comment further, insisting there is no evidence linking him to Marion’s allegations.
“That was just for show, and it is her own business. I know the claims she made are just part of that,” he said, urging the public not to speculate.
Pastor Kanyari’s response comes amid social media buzz, where many users shared and debated Marion Naipei’s claims over the past week.
Observers note that Marion has previously courted controversy online, often trending for personal stories and alleged romantic entanglements.
The pastor clarified that while he respects Marion as an individual, he cannot endorse or validate stories that lack substance.
Kenya’s entertainment circles have frequently been a hotbed for such disputes, with public figures often issuing statements to manage rumors and preserve reputations.
Pastor Kanyari urged Kenyans to focus on verified facts rather than social media speculation, highlighting the need for responsible online discourse.
Meanwhile, Marion Naipei has not issued any follow-up statements regarding the pastor’s denial, leaving her social media followers questioning the next move.
Her followers continue to engage in heated online discussions, with some supporting her claims while others align with Pastor Kanyari’s dismissal.
The incident underscores the growing intersection between social media influence and public perception in Kenya, where viral claims often gain traction quickly.
Pastor Kanyari, known for his religious teachings and media presence, has in the past managed rumors with measured statements, prioritizing his public image.
As of now, no independent evidence has emerged to substantiate Marion Naipei’s claims, leaving the matter largely a topic of social media debate.
