It is a very big mistake to say that Mitchelle Ntalami is my wife- Makena Njeri

Appearing on Radio Jambo, Makena said that it's wrong for people to assume Ms Ntalami is her wife, just because of how close they are, insisting that they are just good friends.

“Ni makosa sana kusema kwamba huyo (Michelle) ni bibi yangu, hiyo ni makosa sana kwa sababu my relationship with Michelle is that we are very, very good friends and if youi go to my Instagram you will find that I have posted so many people. Hata leo nikitoka hapa nitapost Massawe na nitakuongelesha kama rafiki yangu. Kwa hiyo hiyo ni Makosa kusema mtu ni bibi ya mtu "

"It is a very big mistake to say that Michelle Ntalami is my wife. My relationship with Mitchelle is that we are very good friends, when you go to my Instagram you will find I have posted very many people.

I live my life very openly. If it comes a time when I will need to introduce my wife publicly, I will," Makena told Massawe Japanni.
