“The opportunity just came knocking. I’m a very big fan of the (Real Housewives) franchise. I think a real housewife is not just the traditional housewife who stays at home. Housewives are women who are well empowered, very independent and very strong-headed. And I think I’m a good representation of that, so why not? I will be serving shade; I’m the queen of shade. I’m also serving drama and I bring all the fashion,” said Minnie.”

Foi Wambui has been ordered to remain in a copyright battle over Mutoriah’s hit song “Beta” after a court rejected her attempt to have the case against her thrown out.

The actress and content creator is facing a lawsuit filed by musician Mutoriah over the alleged unauthorised use of his song in an Oppo smartphone advertisement.

The dispute centres on a skit Wambui featured in while promoting Oppo’s Reno 12 5G. Mutoriah claims his music was used without his permission or a synchronization licence.

A synchronization licence is required when copyrighted music is paired with visual content, particularly in commercial advertising.

Mutoriah says he discovered the advert circulating on social media on August 31, 2024.
