2021 Valentine’s Day cannot be compared to the other years. Most Showbiz couples haven’t celebrated it like other years and it’s because of reasons known to themselves.
Well, for award-winning gospel singer Daddy Owen this Valentine’s hasn’t been good. He is a single man. The Mbona hitmaker has been single for almost three months now after his wife of four years Faridah Muthoni dumped him for a Gilgil tycoon.
Daddy Owen is spending his Valentine’s Day back at his parents’ village in Eshisiru, Kakamega county. He shared a photo having breakfast and captioned it,
‘BREAKFAST IN ESHISIRU, KAKAMEGA. FEELS GOOD TO BE HOME.
AMAPWONI. ITULHENJE .
PROUD TO BE A LUHYA’
After word went viral that he was no longer together with Faridah, Daddy Owen revealed that he was depressed three years before the break up because of marital woes.
‘WE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING OUR ISSUES AS A COUPLE AND CONSULTING WHEN THINGS DON’T GO RIGHT. WE HAVEN’T BEEN AGREEING ON EVERYTHING AND THAT IS HUMAN. HOWEVER, WHEN ONE WRONG LEADS TO ANOTHER, YOU REALLY HAVE TO GET CONCERNED AND START THINKING HARD. WHEN IT CAME TO THAT, I FELL INTO DEPRESSION AND COULD LOCK MYSELF IN THE HOUSE AND CRY, ASKING GOD WHY THIS WAS GOING ON. I STOPPED WRITING AND RELEASING SONGS, AS MY CREATIVITY WASN’T WORKING. I COULD NOT PRAY, AS I FELT WEAK INSIDE. I CONTEMPLATED DOING EVERYTHING WRONG, EVEN DEATH. NOTHING IN LIFE MAKES SENSE. THE WORST BIT IS THAT EVERYONE OUT THERE THINKS YOU HAVE IT ALL PUT TOGETHER AND LIFE IS PROGRESSIVE,’ THE SINGER TOLD STANDARD DIGITAL EARLY THIS MONTH.
