Kenyan gospel musician Betty Bayo had arranged a December birthday trip abroad with her son before succumbing to acute leukemia on Monday at Kenyatta National Hospital, cutting short plans she described in a video as an exclusive celebration for the pair who shared the same birth date. The 43-year-old artist, born Beatrice Wairimu Mbugua, died following rapid deterioration from blood cancer that caused severe hemorrhaging after her hospital transfer on Friday, according to relatives who addressed the media alongside her former spouse, Pastor Victor Kanyari.

Bayo gained recognition during the early 2010s through her breakthrough recording 11th Hour and subsequent releases, including Gatho, Thiiri, and Manejo that addressed financial hardship, parenting challenges, and spiritual perseverance. The youngest among eight siblings from Banana in Kiambu County frequently referenced her modest background and experience as domestic help after leaving school, themes that resonated with audiences facing similar circumstances throughout her career spanning over ten years.
