In an earlier interview, the gospel singer spilled the beans about her secret wedding.
‘’It’s a done deal, I’m already married. I’m someone’s wife now. I know many are waiting to see a wedding but I’m one very private person. That’s why you don’t see me doing interviews in my house or other intrusive stuff like that,’’ said Amani.
Amani was recently in the news over her transition from secular to gospel music shortly after fellow songbird Rosemary Wahu Kagwi better known as Wahu also crossed the floor.
