In a candid interview with YouTuber Mungai Eve, rising public figure King Bizzy ignited a conversation about polygamy, expressing his belief that having multiple partners is a way to maintain faithfulness. Bizzy, who is in a public relationship with Georgina Njenga, said, “As a man in the limelight, the temptations to cheat are higher. To avoid cheating, I feel like I need two girlfriends.”
The pair went public with their romance in late 2024, sharing photos that highlighted their strong connection. Georgina, a mother of one from her previous relationship with former Machachari actor Baha, described meeting Bizzy as a transformative experience. In a heartfelt social media post, she called him “God-sent” for his unwavering support and understanding. However, she has not commented on his recent polygamy stance.
Bizzy’s remarks quickly fueled debate on social media. While some applauded Mungai Eve for her interview skills, others criticized Bizzy’s views. A vocal segment of netizens labeled him problematic, with user @PatseyGithinji branding him “a walking red flag” and @BellaDeshy mocking his style, calling him a “slay king.” Supporters of Georgina, like @JaneWanjiru, urged her to reconsider the relationship, stating she “deserves better.”
This isn’t the first time a celebrity has stirred discussions about polygamy. Earlier in 2024, comedian Chipukeezy shared his cultural perspective, saying his upbringing around his father’s seven wives influenced his views. “I want to retire before 40 and marry multiple wives,” he said, emphasizing his ability to provide for them.
Similarly, musician Mr. Seed caused a stir when he declared men’s “natural” inclination toward polygamy. In an interview, he claimed, “Men have intelligence. I could be with someone for years, knowing they aren’t the one, while planning a wedding with someone else.” His controversial statements led to backlash, particularly from his wife, Nimo Gachuiri, who publicly opposed his views. The criticism prompted Mr. Seed to issue a heartfelt apology.
Bizzy’s statements reflect a broader societal conversation about polygamy in Kenya, where cultural norms and modern values often clash. While supporters view polygamy as a cultural tradition or a solution to infidelity, critics argue it perpetuates inequality in relationships.
As the debate unfolds, Georgina’s perspective remains eagerly anticipated, with many wondering how this revelation might shape their budding romance.
