Singer Bahati and his wife Diana Marua have been making headlines recently after posting a picture of them on vacation in Dubai. While the couple may have been enjoying their time together, the image sparked a negative reaction from some social media users who took issue with Diana’s stretch marks.
The couple, who have been known for their strong and loving relationship, were quick to respond to the hateful comments, with Bahati taking to social media to defend his wife and call out the cyberbullies. He reminded everyone to be kind and respectful towards each other, especially when it comes to someone’s physical appearance.
It is disappointing that even in this day and age, people still feel the need to criticize others for their physical appearance. Stretch marks are a natural occurrence that affect many women, especially after giving birth, and they should not be a cause for shame or embarrassment.
As public figures, Bahati and Diana have a large platform and are in a position to make a positive impact. Many netizens were particularly angered by the short clothes won by the Mapenzi tight hitmaker, wondering what example they were portraying to the younger generation, especially their children.

The couple who had been chosen to represent East and Central Africa as Dubai’s tourist ambassadors visited the city in search of adventure. Diana Marua has disclosed that during their trip from Dubai, her husband Bahati gave her a costly perfume costing Sh62,000 as a gift.
