In a drastic change of events, socialite Pendo has confessed fabricating stories about her infamous love affair with gospel singer Willy Paul saying; “I only had a crush on you.”
In a recorded telephone conversation between the two — which is now in our possession — Pendo admitted having hoodwinked the media that she was having a ‘thing going on’ with Willy for her own showbiz gains.
“How could you say so many damaging things about me. Even a person having a crush on another cannot say such things. You knew very well that I am a gospel artiste and all that was going to taint my image,” Willy is heard telling Pendo in the ten-minute telephone conversation.
“Go back to the same media and tell them you lied,” Willy begs, saying he needs his name cleared. Pendo refrains:
“Hio ni ngumu kufanya (that is hard to do).”
The drama between the two dates to about a year ago when they were rumoured to have had an up and close moment during the Kisima Awards held at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre.
