Carol of Band BeCa speaks on family’s reaction after Eric Omondi ‘wedding’

“Our Instagram page had around 45,000 followers but after the show we grew to over 87,000 followers. "

Carol Kamweru of the famous girl group Band BeCa has opened for the first time over her family’s reaction to her role in the just concluded Wife Material that tricked Kenyans into believing she was married to popular comedian Eric Omondi. Speaking in an interview on Radio Jambo, the singer revealed that contrary to many people’s expectations, her family was comfortable and extremely supportive of her participation in the show

“My mother was okay. Actually she was like ‘now you should really consider doing this’ (settling down). I figure you are aware that this whole thing was staged and choreographed and when we were getting into this we spoke to them and told them this is what we are going to do and the whole plan. They are very supportive. However, when some of our family members called to inquire about the show, we had to play along and say it was real because it wouldn’t make sense if we told them it was staged and fighting on this other side to convince people it was real. But generally, everyone was supportive,” said Carol.
