Renowned Kenyan gospel singer Linet Munyali, widely known as Size 8, has announced the end of her 11-year marriage to husband DJ Mo. The announcement, made through Size 8’s Instagram stories on Thursday, has sent ripples through the online community, eliciting a mix of reactions from fans and followers.
In her emotional post, Size 8 candidly shared the news, expressing that she now embarks on a new chapter of her life as a single woman. “Sometimes marriage works by God’s grace and sometimes it does not work but all in all God is still on the throne,” she wrote. “I’ve been married for 11 years and now I start the journey of singlehood.”
Despite the sorrowful tone of her message, Size 8 maintained a firm belief in God’s sovereignty over her life and future. She concluded her post with a note of faith, saying, “But God is still on the throne, I worship you Yahweh.”
The sudden announcement left many of their fans in shock, especially since it came just four days after Size 8 had shared a seemingly harmonious photo of the couple on Instagram. In the post, the two appeared to be enjoying a paintballing activity together. Accompanying the photo was a caption that emphasized the strength found in unity within marriage: “One can chase one thousand but two can chase ten thousand in Christ Jesus. In marriage, when you come together in unity, you are stronger, able to win most battles and achieve more achievements. When you are divided, keep winning.”
DJ Mo, whose real name is Samuel Muraya, had also commented on the post, referring to Size 8 as “My love.” This public display of affection made the breakup announcement even more surprising for their followers.
The couple, often regarded as a power duo in the Kenyan gospel music scene, had previously shared their marriage journey with the public, including the highs and lows. They have been celebrated for their music as well as their apparent devotion to each other and their faith. Therefore, the news of their separation has raised questions and concerns among their fans.
While Size 8 did not provide specific details about the reasons behind their split, her message highlighted the complexities of marriage and the reality that not all unions last despite best efforts. This candid admission has been met with empathy and support from many of her followers, who have expressed their prayers and well-wishes for both Size 8 and DJ Mo as they navigate this difficult period.
However, not everyone is convinced by the announcement. A section of the online community speculates that the breakup might be a publicity stunt, akin to the recent actions of fellow celebrity couple Bahati and Diana Marua. These skeptics argue that the timing and nature of the posts suggest a possible promotional strategy for an upcoming project. This theory has sparked debates online, with some fans feeling disillusioned by what they perceive as potential manipulation of their emotions.
Despite the mixed reactions, the news marks a significant moment in the lives of Size 8 and DJ Mo. As public figures, their personal lives have often been in the spotlight, and this latest development adds another chapter to their story. For now, both Size 8 and DJ Mo seem focused on their individual paths, with Size 8 drawing strength from her faith as she moves forward.
As the story continues to unfold, fans and followers will be watching closely, offering support and awaiting further updates from the beloved gospel singer and her now estranged husband.
