Kenyan gospel DJ Samuel Muraya well known as DJ Mo has opened up on his love story with gospel musician and pastor, Linet Munyali well known as Size 8.
In an interview with Oga Obinna, DJ Mo recalled being a struggling DJ living in Githurai.
He had encountered Size 8 at various events before, but could not approach her due to his lowly status and the high-value suitors that were after her.
The DJ revealed that it took a certain event and his friend Antoneosoul's inability to keep a secret to make his dream of winning the musician's heart come true.
The encounter, though abrupt and embarrassing for DJ Mo, led to a conversation between him and Size 8. As time passed, they began to communicate more and spend time together.
Before she publicly announced her conversion to Christianity, he visited her home. He had scraped together 150k for her dowry, but it was an uphill battle to gather that sum. He visited her family and asked for her hand in marriage.
I was on the brink, and if she had declined, I would’ve been utterly devastated – even if it meant losing everything.”
He attributed his success in marrying Linet (Size 8) to her late mother, acknowledging her pivotal role in their union.
"The person who truly made Linet my wife is her late mother," DJ Mo added, expressing profound gratitude.
DJ Mo also clarified that his initial payment of 150k was part of the Kikuyu tradition, but he emphasized that over time, he has contributed more.
In a past interview with a local newspaper, Size 8 revealed that rich men wanted to marry her but when she introduced DJ Mo to her mother, she said he was going to be a good husband.
