Drama surrounding the botched marriage between gospel musician Daddy Owen with his almost estranged wife Faridah Wambui has taken a messy turn

Now, letters from lawyers of both parties are doing rounds online.

In one of the letters dated January 8, Farida through her lawyers, Amadi and Associates sent a list of demands to Daddy Owen.

Surprisingly, Amadi and Associates referred to their client as “Ms Faridah” and not “Mrs”.

One of the demands was that he deletes all the pictures on is social media channels and return all her academic certificates.

“Immediately expunge the names of our client, images and those of the minors whatsoever in all your social media platforms as well as your agents and proxies,” reads part of the letter seen by the Star.

“Immediately you return all the original academic documents belonging to our client,” the letter added.

In a rejoinder on January 11, the singer through his lawyers, Osoro Onyiego and Manyara Advocates termed Faridah’s demands as innuendos.

“That our client denies in total all the allegations and innuendos as contained in the aforementioned letter that he made any false instigations and damaging or defamatory utterances against your client through any social media platforms or media houses or at all

“That our client is stranger to the said allegations or any purported defamatory words which, in any event, are not contained in your letter. Our client, therefore, has not committed any form of breach of privacy to your client. This only amounts to baseless and unsubstantiated allegations against our client,” Daddy Owen stated.

The singer recently went public with his battle with depression for three years, a mental condition which his failed marriage triggered.

In a recent interview with a local station, he said that he had been living in denial.

“I have been suppressing and thinking that I would be fine until when the side-effects started showing,” he said.

It got worse when he tried to talk to his friends who dismissed him thinking was “mad”.

However, he has been attending counselling sessions and is on his way to full recovery.

Despite his marriage life now being a subject of debate, Daddy Owen has remained tight-lipped on the matters saying that “children are involved”.

A red flag was raised after he deleted Faridah’s photos online in December. It is then that curious Kenyans questioned what may have led to this.
