Gospel singer Betty Bayo's daughter, Sky Victor, has broken her silence following the heartbreaking death of her mother. Betty, known for her hit song The 11th Hour, passed away on November 11 after a short battle with leukaemia, leaving her family, friends, and fans in deep mourning.
According to close family sources, Betty had been diagnosed with the illness only recently. Her passing came as a huge shock to her children, Sky Victor and Danivictor, whom she shared with her ex-husband, Pastor Victor Kanyari of Salvation Healing Ministries.
At the time of her mother's death, Sky was still at school. She was brought to Kenyatta National Hospital by gospel singer Shiru wa GP, a close friend of Betty's. Upon arrival, Sky was overcome with emotion as the devastating news sank in. She was later seen being consoled by her father, Pastor Kanyari, as the family gathered in grief.
Hours later, Sky took to social media to mourn her mother. She shared a black-and-white photo of Betty Bayo with a touching message announcing her death. The post drew an outpouring of condolences from Kenyans, many expressing sympathy for the young girl's loss.
Sky and her late mother shared a very close bond and often appeared together on their YouTube channel, Sky Victor 254. Through their videos, fans got a glimpse of their warm mother-daughter relationship. In one memorable video, Betty advised Sky on how to handle life's challenges, reminding her to always stay strong even in difficult times — words that now feel deeply prophetic.
Betty Bayo's death has left a huge void in the gospel music industry and in the hearts of those who loved her. She will be remembered for her powerful voice, unwavering faith, and the lasting impact she made through her music and ministry.
