Legendary Kenyan artist Mr Lenny has for the first time talked about his marriage failing.

" I believe that our marriage broke because both of us had issues the main one being finances.

I get money from events but during Covid-19 there were no events.

My job which was also struggling before closed completely."

Lenny says the pressure on his wife to provide worked against them

"It became a rift because my wife was the one paying off the bills.

The jobs were very rare and when they did, the money would be used to clear debts.

Eventually, she wanted out."

He says he did his best

"I am not perfect and I have sometimes I have made bad decisions.

Sometimes she would receive pressure from her friends, and the comparison of our relationship with others didn't help.

Covid-19 went on for two years and at some point, she felt like I would never recover."

Lenny says with time he has picked the broken pieces of his life.
