"2023 was a good year! I thank GOD! I had so many highlights, but the climax, the pinnacle and the crowning moment came at the tail end of the year when @charlruto visited my home in Eshieywe a.k.a Kakamega!" he wrote.
"We celebrated with songs, dance and ululations! Abhashiere came with their best dancing shoes to whirl to the real isikuti made from the tough ‘imbulu’ skin!"
Owen, a Mulembe native, specifically mentioned the numerous traditional meals Charlene Ruto appreciated, adding that the village - and his mother - were delighted to receive such a respectable guest.
"We ate various Abhatsotso tradition delicacies from ‘amakwakwata’ to ‘lhisebhebhe’...Ebhusang'ang'a village was happy, my mum was happy, she loves guests.. and the guests were happy as well,” he wrote.
Owen posted images of himself playing basketball with Charlene in November.
The photos prompted speculations, prompting netizens to assume there was more to their friendship than meets the eye.
When Milele FM approached him, he used the opportunity to address the prevailing rumors and clarify the nature of his connection with Charlene.
“Ah, what’s all this about? Bro, you know some things shouldn’t be talked about. Some are serious, man… Let’s not go there. You’re my brother; I wouldn’t want to put you in a tough spot,” Daddy Owen said.
“No, it’s just work. Apart from being friends, we have many projects we’re working on together… It’s not necessary that every time you see me with someone, they have to be more than a friend.”
