Public discussion around celebrity relationships in Kenya has grown as entertainment stories mix cultural tradition with modern fame, drawing attention beyond music stages and social media. This is now clear in the case of Coast based musician Moh Miqassa, whose personal marriage plans have become a national talking point because they touch on family heritage, land, and customary expectations.
Moh Miqassa, born Mohammed Miqassa Karisa, is known for his music and strong coastal identity. His roots at the Coast have always shaped how he presents himself to fans and the public. In recent days, focus has shifted from his music to his private life, following reports linked to preparations for marriage.
According to reports, the artist is considering selling a parcel of land in Diani that belongs to his father. The land is located in the South Coast region and is said to be part of efforts to raise dowry. Dowry remains an important part of marriage arrangements in many Kenyan communities, and families often take time to agree on what is required.
The planned marriage is said to involve Thicky Sandra, the daughter of former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko. Her family background has long attracted public interest, which has added to the attention around the story.
What might have remained a private family matter has quickly become a topic of discussion across entertainment and social spaces.

In many Kenyan cultures, dowry negotiations involve close family participation and can include land, livestock, or money.
The exact terms usually depend on tradition and agreements between the two families. For some families, land is viewed as a valuable and respectful way to meet cultural expectations.
Observers point out that artists do not always have steady income, especially when shows and music releases slow down. Because of this, some turn to personal or family assets when meeting major cultural responsibilities such as marriage.
Moh Miqassa has previously spoken about the need to balance career growth with family duties and respect for elders. These values remain strong in many coastal households today. As discussions continue, the situation shows how private decisions around property and marriage can quickly become public when well known figures are involved.
