In June 2024, Bahati reignited the conversation by sharing the same photo on all his social media platforms. This move left fans wondering whether Bahati had consulted Wanyama before posting the picture.

When asked about it, Bahati dismissed the need for any permission, explaining that he and Wanyama are friends. "Why should I ask Wanyama if I can post the photo when it’s him and his friend? Let me tell you something, I never said anything. Wanyama and Mariga are my friends. I even campaigned for Mariga in Kibra,” Bahati said.

Bahati further explained that his silence on the issue had been misunderstood. He believes addressing such matters openly can help clear up any confusion. "At times, when you see rumours and stay quiet, it only fuels more rumours. But when you show people that it’s normal, they will keep quiet," Bahati stated.
