Speaking during a church service, Naipei delivered an emotional testimony that quickly went viral on social media. In a mix of Swahili and Sheng, she proclaimed:
“Tangu nikuje kwa Kanyari nimeokoka, nilikuwa mtu wa dunia, sasa nimeokoka!”
(Since I came to Kanyari’s church, I am saved. I used to be a worldly person, but now I am born again.)
Her bold declaration drew loud applause from congregants, with many celebrating what they described as a powerful transformation and a public commitment to faith.
Marion Naipei is widely known for her flamboyant online presence, lifestyle content, and unapologetic personality that often courted controversy.
Her sudden shift toward faith and church life has therefore surprised many followers, while others have welcomed the move as a sign of personal growth and change.
During the service, Naipei openly acknowledged her past, describing her previous life as “ya dunia” (worldly), before emphasizing that she has now chosen a different path anchored in salvation and spiritual renewal.
As expected, reactions online have been sharply divided. Supporters praised Naipei for her courage and honesty, commending her for publicly embracing faith despite knowing the scrutiny that would follow.
Others, however, expressed skepticism, questioning the sincerity of her conversion and reigniting debate around Pastor Kanyari’s controversial past and public image.
Still, a section of netizens urged critics to give her time, noting that spiritual journeys are deeply personal and should not be judged prematurely.
