What began as a fairy-tale romance for VJ Patelo and his wife Diana popularly known as Dee has taken a sensational twist, and Kenyans cannot stop talking.
Just months after the couple’s extravagant Limuru wedding, a viral TikTok video has emerged showing Dee slapping her celebrity husband during a night out.
The short clip, though cut abruptly, was enough to ignite a storm online. In the video, the couple appears to be enjoying themselves at a buzzing nightclub when tension suddenly brews.
Dee, standing out in her brightly coloured wig, points at Patelo during what looks like a tense moment. Within seconds, she lifts her hand and slaps him across the face before the video ends, leaving fans gasping and speculating about what followed.
@lil_emoji66 Drama in Nairobi night club as Patelo slapped by his wife Dee because he started to dance funny. The baddest kwani sio Mbad Ata mimi nataka love like this #patellonadee #patello #TheBaddest #baddest #madgthebaddest ♬ original sound – Lil_emoji
The drama is a sharp contrast to the glittering wedding that first introduced Dee as Mrs Patelo.
The event was the epitome of luxury: sleek high-end cars, a sprawling outdoor venue and a massive wedding cake that became the talk of social media.
Dee dazzled in a Cinderella-inspired gown while Patelo, ever the showman, pulled up in a tuxedo layered with heavy silver chains. With his famous catchphrase “Top Shotta,” embodying confidence, wealth and flair.
But that picture-perfect day now seems a distant memory. Online reactions have split opinions. Some defended Dee, brushing the incident off as a minor lovers’ spat blown out of proportion.
One TikTok user joked, “Kwani mama akichapa mtoto wake shida iko wapi?” Others, however, voiced concern, questioning why newlyweds would air their troubles so publicly.
So far, neither the flashy Patelo nor Dee, who is described as an introvert has addressed the viral slap video, but their silence has only fuelled speculation if it is this just a small storm behind closed doors, or the first crack in a short-lived paradise.
