Ms. Mueni marked her husband Bolo Bespoke’s 35th birthday in a truly spectacular fashion this year. Setting aside the designer clothes and luxury gifts the couple is famous for, Mueni instead chose a gift wrapped not in paper, but in personal history and melody, a brand new song dedicated entirely to him.
The announcement was made via a heartfelt Instagram post that instantly grabbed the attention of Kenyans, and celebrities like Bahati reposted it on his Instagram page. In the song, she celebrates not only Bolo’s birthday, but their decade-spanning relationship.
The song is significant for a major reason as it marks Ms. Mueni’s official return to the music industry after a long, ten-year hiatus. She confirms that this comeback was inspired by one man alone, her ‘husband.’
She shared the deep personal meaning behind the track on her post, “This isn’t just music. This is our story, our growth, a reflection of our humble beginnings, and a bold manifestation of the beautiful future ahead.”
Her post went on to make a beautiful commitment to her partner, “I promise to always be by your side, in every season, through every note, for all the years to come.”
Bolo Bespoke, a celebrated Kenyan designer, is today celebrating his 35th birthday. While the couple is known for their luxurious lifestyle now, their relationship is rooted in a much more challenging time.
Their love story is a true testimony to taking a chance on potential, not just present success. Mueni and Bolo began their journey when Bolo was working incredibly hard but was still struggling financially.
Mueni, who was stable with her own media career and living independently, was the one who saw the potential in Bolo, despite the odds. Bolo himself shared that in the earliest days of their dating, he was living in Umoja at his father’s house and even pulled carts to make a living.
Mueni’s faith in the man she calls “the man of my youth” shows how committed she was to their future, regardless of his wallet size at the time.
The song has received mixed reactions from fans. “Kama ni sauti vixen mavazi melody ata ukiwa na wazazi karibu unaweza skiza kudos mueni” @bree2wali gave her praises of the song in the comment section.
Others, such as @faynina74 attributed Mueni’s style of celebrating her husband to Diana Marua’s strategies, saying, “Strategy ni ya bahati na Diana sindio.”
