Musician Juliani and human rights activist, has admitted he never wanted his connection with Lillian Ng'ang'a, his wife, to be known to the world.

Speaking with Tuko about his relationship with his wife, Lillian, Juliani insisted he wanted things to be away from the media spotlight especially owing to Lillian's stature and who she was with before the two got together."
“Even my previous relationship was ongoing for two years before people knew about it," the father of 2 said insisting he had never intended to publicize his relationship with the author.
Juliani acknowledged that after his relationship with Lilian became public, they experienced a lot of trolling and online hostility.
Fortunately, he had a strong support network to help him get through it. The father of two observed that everything had subsided and he was now at rest.
"The threats were real at that particular time,” Juliani said.
He continued by praising his close friend and social activist Boniface Mwangi for standing by him and playing a crucial role in his support network at the time.
Speaking exclusively to Mpasho's Kalondu Musyimi, Juliani claimed that he has since moved past the setback.
"Initially when all these stories were coming out we lost 2 deals in 2021. People thought I was playing around.
Some people assume it is trolling but some people believe it. I have a bigger calling and it is God who provides. There is nothing anyone can do that can scare me."
A year ago, speaking about the death threats being lobbied against him the rapper tweeted about it saying;
"My mum ako panic mode. I reminded Her of the God that healed her of her cancer. The one that kept me and my 6 siblings safe in the street of Dandora ndio the same we are praying to NOW."
