Diana Marua Omach, popularly known as Diana Marua or Diana B, is a content creator, rapper, entrepreneur, and former reality TV star.
Diana was born on November 5, 1988, in Migori County but was raised in Nairobi, where her life journey began to take shape.
Early Life and Challenges
Diana’s childhood was not easy. She was raised mainly by her Luo father, Joseph Omach, a respected cancer advocate fighting against stigma for cancer patients, after her Kikuyu mother, Lillian Nyambura, left when she was just six years old.
Growing up in a single-parent household, Diana had to take on responsibilities for her younger sisters, Mitchelle Omach and Valerie Omach, who are now both make-up artists.
While reflecting on her younger years, Diana once shared that life was difficult, but those moments gave her the urge to succeed and change her future.
“You know I don’t think my mum was ever happy. I remember she used to cry and shika tama (be pensive) a lot. The home environment was tough. My father was extremely violent. I remember a time when he came home late and angry and started raining blows on my mum while she was breastfeeding my younger sister,” Diana told Magzter Magazine.
Education Background
Diana attended KCA University, where she earned a Diploma in Information Technology.
She furthered her education by studying a course in Marketing, Communication, and Public Relations at St. Paul’s University.

Career Journey: From Corporate Life to Fame
Before becoming famous, Diana worked in corporate jobs, including roles at KEMRI, Neo Marketing, and Bio Foods Limited.
However, her life took a great turn in 2015 when she appeared as a video vixen in Bahati’s song “Mapenzi.”
That moment marked the beginning of both her public career and her relationship with musician Kevin Bahati.
Diana later transitioned into content creation, launching her YouTube channel in 2019, where she shares lifestyle, family, and inspirational content.
The channel quickly grew to attract millions of views, making her one of Kenya’s top digital influencers.
In 2021, Diana reinvented herself once again by entering the music industry as Diana B, releasing rap songs such as “Hatutaachana” at Nairobi’s TradeMark Hotel and “One Day”
Diana Marua’s Family Life
Diana is married to artist Kelvin Bahati.
The two started as friends before becoming partners, and despite public criticism, including their age difference, their relationship has remained strong.
“I am only 2 years older than Bahati. In the beginning, it used to get to me but what matters right now is how he takes care of me. He makes me comfortable. He is the head of the house regardless of my age, I respect that boundary. I respect him as a husband,” Marua said during an interview with Radio Jambo.
Speaking about her love for Bahati, Diana once said:
“Others say I want him for the money. If it was about money, I would be with well-off people I have dated who would have offered me a lot, including cars. With Bahati, I asked God for someone who would love me genuinely, and Bahati was the man I knew I wanted to grow and build a legacy with,” said Diana.
Diana and Bahati are blessed with three biological children: Heaven Wendo Bahati, a girl, born in 2018 on Valentine’s Day, a boy named Majesty Bahati, and the last born, Malaika Bahati, born in 2022.
Marua is also a stepmother to Mueni Bahati, and they have an adopted son named Morgan Bahati.
