Of late we have seen many celebrities open up their lives to public scrutiny by shooting their own reality shows. Size 8 and DJ Mo have already amassed a cult-like following because of their weekly You-tube posts.

However, gospel star Daddy Owen is averse to the idea of having camera's trail his life and then having those moments posted online.

"I don't advocate for reality shows because for me, my life already is in the limelight. I feel the only thing left for me is my personal life, so if I take it away, I am left with nothing. I want to go home and lock the world out."

The star, who is married, told Word Is about the journey.

"Marriage is good. Me and my wife had dated for a long time. The only thing is that we took it to another level. She is my best friend and knows my weaknesses and my strengths.

"The biggest lesson I have learnt in marriage is the house is not yours. I thought a man is the head of the house but everything has changed from curtains to everything, you know, I have no say. Another thing is that men usually lie out here. I will tell you this, for a marriage to work lazima mwanaume akaliwe. If you don't give the woman space to be, nothing will work. You have to listen to her intuition. She will have a perspective that will help you make good decisions. That is what I mean by kukaliwa."

The star is riding high on the wave of his recent music release, Tazama.
