Kenyan gospel artist Guardian Angel has found himself at the center of an intense debate regarding his choice of investment location. Speculation arose that he had opted to build a home in his wife Esther Musila’s village rather than in his hometown, Butere. This sparked criticism, with many questioning his decision and citing cultural norms.
Reacting to the allegations, Guardian Angel fiercely defended himself against what he termed as misinformation. He called out media personalities, particularly Milele FM presenter Mercy Tyra and comedian Mitch Kenya, for discussing the issue without verifying facts.
Guardian Angel did not mince words when addressing the controversy. Taking to social media, he expressed his frustration over the scrutiny surrounding his personal investment choices.
“What nonsense are you speaking? Who said I had built at my wife’s place? Next time, get your facts right before you start yapping,” he wrote.
He further criticized those fueling the rumors, urging them to put the same energy into supporting his music.
“Nikitoa wimbo hamkimbiangi ivo kutangaza niko na wimbo mpia. Shame on you!” he added, lamenting the double standards in how his music and personal life are discussed.
During their show, Mercy Tyra and Mitch Kenya questioned the reasoning behind Guardian Angel’s decision. Mercy stated that she had seen online criticism directed at Guardian for allegedly choosing to build near Nairobi instead of his ancestral home.
“My problem is not whether it is far or not; when did we start building in our wives’ places?” she asked. Mitch Kenya echoed similar sentiments, arguing that a man should maintain a distance from his in-laws for the sake of respect.
Guardian Angel and Esther Musila Set the Record Straight
In a video addressing the issue, Guardian’s wife, Esther Musila, expressed disappointment at the backlash. She questioned why culture should dictate where a person invests.
“I live in Kenya, and I can invest wherever I want. Why must a man always go back home to invest?” she posed.
Guardian Angel justified his decision as a practical business move. He cited the logistical challenges of managing investments in Butere while working in Nairobi.
“If I am farming chicken in Butere and need to transport them to Nairobi, it would take too long. I need to be close to my operations,” he explained.
Dismissing the criticism, Guardian Angel emphasized that investment choices should be driven by logic rather than societal expectations, reinforcing his right to build wherever he deems fit.
