The One Day hitmaker went on to narrate how each of the 'boyfriends' had a purpose to fulfill being in her life then.

"All wanted was to live well, I dated guys for money," the mother of three said.

The content creator explained that she was not financially stable to cater to the expensive life she wanted and no one was ready to cater to that kind of life for her.

The mother of three said she did that because she lacked in all of her childhood life, and all she wanted was to live a good life.

“My life has not been rosy and I’ve done some things that I’m not proud of to say but it was my life, it’s in the past. I used to date guys for money at some point in my life because I lacked the whole of my life to a point where all I wanted was a good life. All I wanted was to live well. I dated someone who used to pay my rent, nilikuwa na mtu wa kunifanyia shopping ya nyumba, nilikuwa na mtu wa kuninunulia nguo, nilikuwa na mtu wa kunipeleka out. Let me tell you, in my early 20s, money for me was never a problem,” narrated Diana Marua.

She went on to reveal that at one point she even dated a married man, whom she really liked, but the man outrightly told her that he could not ditch his wife for Diana.

The rapper added that among those she dated, one was taking care of her shopping, another would pay her rent and the other would buy her clothes.

"Money to me was not a problem, I stack up my fridge to the point it wouldn't lock," she stated.

Diana Marua said that even when she met Bahati, she wasn’t working but drove different cars every time they met, and she would lie to him that she ran a car hire business.

The cars belonged to one of her boyfriends who ran a car hire business.

It was during that time when she met Bahati who questioned her expensive lifestyle.
