Diana Bahati aka Diana B is a YouTuber and content creator who moonlights as a rapper when the mood strikes.

My life has not been rosy. I have done some things I am not proud of, but it was part of my life and is all in the past. I used to date men for money. I had one who paid my rent, another who did my shopping, and another who catered for my wardrobe.

I've had enough children. I have no plans to have another baby. No more morning sickness for me.

One hurtful thing my husband did was give a jacket I bought him to a female fan who twerked on him on stage. That hurt me.

I've been accused of leading my husband astray (from a gospel singer to a secular musician), and it's been argued that my 'bad' influence has corrupted him. I ask myself the question: Have I corrupted him in any way? I find that narrative funny. It is laughable. Is he not a man old enough to make up his mind?

My relationship with God is personal. I'm very much saved. People should stop judging me when they see me having a little fun and enjoying the fine things the world has to offer.

There is no greater freedom than to live life without fear of being judged. I live my life to the fullest. I don't care what people think of me. Let the Lord be my judge.

Secrets to a successful marriage? If there are any, I think sex is very fundamental. Also, try to be friends with your partner. Thirdly, understand that you are two different people, and learn to accommodate each other.

Fights and disagreements in marriage are a must. I think over time you get to understand your partner and the way they like to be approached during disagreements. Then you will be able to make them feel better when you solve the problem.

Initially, when I disagreed with Bahati, I would overreact and raise my voice. Over time, I realised that I needed to stay calm in such situations because he is also argumentative, and this approach made things easier.
