A photo on Thursday, August 25 captured award-winning musician and entertainer Nyamari Ongegu, alias Nyashinski, making a phone call around the same time a woman behind him was doing the same.

The Wach Wach hitmaker was the guest entertainer at the swearing-in ceremony of Nairobi Governor, Johnson Sakaja at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), an event also attended by the president-elect, William Ruto.

The photo seen by Viral Tea showed Nyashinski taking a seat, donning his signature sunglasses and cream-coloured coat and making a hushed phone call.

Seated behind him was his wife, Zipporah Bett- Nyamari (Zia Bett) who was keenly following the proceedings. She was wearing a coat of the same colour as her husband.

What he probably didn't notice was a woman in a dark-blue coat on a phone call at the same time as him, with her surprised face seemingly peering in his direction.

This was the moment that set the Kenyan internet on fire, with many netizens making hilarious memes and comments about the situation, with the woman's identity yet to be established by the time of publication.

"Can't you see I am with my wife?" Maryanne Muthoni wrote.

"Nakuona enda tu hivo nakuja (I see you. Go to this point, I'm on my way)

"Jifanye sijakushikia kiti kwanza (First pretend that I haven't saved this seat for you)

"Wanapigiana Simu na huyo mrembo wa huko nyuma? Ama Wacha niache kuoverthink (Are the two calling each other? Or I should stop overthinking?)," other comments read.

That was not the only event that saw Nyashinski become a social media trend. Hawk-eyed cameras had earlier captured Zia walking towards the seating area on entry to the ceremony, spotting what appears to be a baby bump.

Though Viral Tea could not independently verify, reports suggest that Zia could be expecting baby number two with Nyashinski.

The two have always kept details of their private lives a secret. On December 10, 2021, they staged a low-key wedding in Nairobi which was attended by a small group of family and friends

Despite the two not sharing photos of the wedding held at the Nairobi Chapel church along Ngong Road, photos shared exclusively by Citizen Digital offered a vivid description of how the lush ceremony went down.

Nyashinski was dressed in a stylish, cream brown suit coupled with a black tie while Zia rocked a long, pure white wedding dress holding a bouquet of flowers.

The couple exchanged vows before a small group of family and friends in the intimate ceremony.

“Was a good day with some good ol friends from the hood! Lakini the point is, nani anakaa mdosi hapa? (But who looks like a rich person here?),” legendary artist Nameless offered a glimpse of the wedding to his Instagram followers.

Other notable celebrities who attended the wedding were Nyashinski’s former Kleptomaniax bandmate Collo, DJ Stylez, Big Pin and Wahu. Nyashinski’s best man was his former manager turned movie producer Fakii Liwali and city pastor Robert Burale was the master of ceremony.
