Rise to fame and secularism
Linet Masiro Munyali Muraya revealed that she grew up in a Christian household. Her “prodigal son era” is entirely blamed on the poor decisions she made in life. After completing her secondary school education, young Linet got a half scholarship to an international school in the UK. However, due to financial strain, her family was unable to raise the other half. This forced Linet to continue with her studies in Kenya.
It was during this period that the ‘Mateke’ hitmaker derailed from the godly path and found herself lost in secularism and alcohol abuse. As per Linet, the decision to immerse herself into the secular world was an insult to the God that had elevated her to international heights. The songwriter narrated that the pressure to keep up with the ridiculously rich kids at school made her lose complete focus on where she came from and where she was headed.
Size 8 Reborn grew up in a poor Christian family and at times, she received donations of pads and shopping from her dormmates. According to Linet, Jackie Maribe and Edith Kimani are among the dormmates who made life a little easier for her in high school. Hence, her hunger for money and fame intensified when she found herself studying amongst children of very wealthy and influential people from all over the world.
In her pursuit of fame and money, Size 8 Reborn met Kenyan producer Clement Rapudo, alias Clemo, during the Tusker Project Fame auditions. The Calif Records producer and co-founder swiftly took Size 8’s talent and career to a whole new level. Shortly after, Size 8 became a household name and her songs were widely sung and danced to in every corner of the country. She was then gradually introduced to the secular world, which came along with all sorts of fake.
Size 8 Reborn recalled attracting fake friends, fake lovers, and eventually, a fake life. She said that the more she rose, the more she attracted fakeness, and that made her cry daily. The men she dated treated her like a trophy, while her friends were more interested in Size 8 the public figure, and not Linet the person. Linet revealed that it was during that moment that she understood what the late Whitney Houston must have gone through.
Filled with emptiness, loneliness, and sadness, the miserable and depressed Size 8 decided to seek solace in her truest childhood friend, Jesus Christ. Linet described Jesus as a friend who sticks closer than a brother and she wished that Kenyan celebrities would seek him too. After finding what she had been looking for, fame and money, Linet embarked on a journey of finding peace, true love, and salvation. Size 8 Reborn emphasized that most celebrities and influencers in Kenya today are merely liked and not loved.
