Tracy Wanjiru  rejects Bahati's video vixen proposal

Media personality Tracy Wanjiru was once approached by musician Bahati to feature as a video vixen in his "Mapenzi" music video, but she declined the offer. Instead of directly expressing her refusal, she simply ignored him.

Originally known as Kelvin Kioko, Bahati, now a renowned Kenyan musician, initially wanted Wanjiru, a former NTV Teen Republic presenter, to be the video vixen. However, his proposal was met with a disappointing rejection.

Bahati recalled, "I had written my first love song as a gospel artist, and the girl I wanted to appear in the video declined my offer; that was the former NTV Teen Republic host, Tracy Wanjiru. I think she was the only beautiful girl I knew at that time.”

In an exclusive interview with the Nation, Wanjiru explained that she snubbed Bahati because she struggled to find the right words to communicate her unwillingness to participate in the project.

"I don't remember too well, but I think when I was hosting Teen Republic [at the time] he asked me about that, and I think I was to respond to him. However, I didn't want to do it, but I didn't know how to tell him that I didn't want to do it, so I ended up snubbing him."

Despite declining Bahati's offer, Tracy maintains a good relationship with the musician, known for hits such as “Adhiambo”.

Asked if she would consider collaborating with him now, she replied, "He is a friend of mine, and there is no bad blood, but I wouldn't want to feature in his music. I think where I am with my faith, there are some things I would not want to do, and that is one of those things."

Tracy also shared about missing out on an opportunity to host a TV show she was eager about.

"I missed an opportunity with another show and I felt so bad, but I feel at home."

For the past two years, Wanjiru has had to balance school and motherhood, finding it challenging.

"I don't understand how I was able to do it. I was schooling and breastfeeding at the same time, pumping milk at school to maintain a high milk supply. Between school, breastfeeding, and cooking, it was a lot of work. I thought motherhood was going to be easy, but I realised it was challenging. It is fulfilling to see your little one grow and thrive."

Wanjiru is poised to return to NTV with a new show called “The Glam,” set to debut on November 11.

She assures her fans of an exciting show aimed at helping them appreciate themselves.

“The beauty show is titled 'The Glam,' where your beauty is cherished, your wellness is prioritised, and your heart is treasured,” Wanjiru said.

“We will be discussing beauty, skincare, wellness, and fashion. It will be airing every Saturday at 8pm on NTV. We want to make sure everyone feels good physically, mentally, and emotionally about themselves so that they can always look their best. Our viewers can ask any questions about wellness and beauty.”

Explaining why she chose to host a beauty show, Tracy said, "It is something I have always wanted to do because it touches on things I have always wanted to talk about. Feeling good from the inside is why wellness is huge for us."

During her pregnancy, she struggled with skincare issues, which may have influenced her interest in a beauty show. "My skin started breaking out when I was pregnant, and I had pimples. My biggest issue has always been how I view myself. I have struggled with self-image and self-confidence, but I am continually working on these aspects."

"The show is going to be a mix of discussions, but we have primarily focused on beauty and skincare products. We have even tested these products so our fans can try them out when they watch, making it more practical than theoretical."
