Gospel Singer Daddy Owen has shared photos of a recent ceremony at his home, where Charlene Chelagat Ruto, the daughter of President William Ruto, visited.
The heartwarming event took place on December 23, 2023, in Eshifiru village within Kakamega county.
The ceremony, captured in photos shared by Daddy Owen on Facebook, showcased the convergence of two families in a celebration.
In one photo, Charlene is seen sharing groundnuts with a member of Owen’s family.
During the ceremony, Owen’s mother and Charlene engaged in a heartfelt exchange of gifts, reminiscent of a daughter visiting her mother.
"2023 was a good year! I thank GOD! I had so many highlights, but the climax, the pinnacle and the crowning moment came at the tail end of the year when @charlruto visited my home in Eshieywe a.k.a Kakamega!" he wrote.
"We celebrated with songs, dance and ululations! Abhashiere came with their best dancing shoes to whirl to the real isikuti made from the tough ‘imbulu’ skin!
Owen also explicitly named the various traditional foods Charlene Ruto enjoyed, adding that the village - and his mother - were happy to host such a dignified guest.
When contacted by Milele FM, the musician took the opportunity to address the circulating rumours and clarify the nature of his relationship with Charlene.
“Ah, what’s all this about? Bro, you know some things shouldn’t be talked about. Some are serious, man… Let’s not go there. You’re my brother; I wouldn’t want to put you in a tough spot,” Daddy Owen said.
“No, it’s just work. Apart from being friends, we have many projects we’re working on together… It’s not necessary that every time you see me with someone, they have to be more than a friend.”
