By Releasing Yesu Ndiye Sponsor,Jimmy Gait Has Hit The Lowest Of New Lows,Reduced Himself To An Absolute Laughing Stock And Further Insulted The Gospel Of Our Good Lord Jesus Christ (VIDEO)
Last week,a joke started circulating on Facebook and Twitter. It quickly became a meme and by evening,had been seen,LIKED,shared and retweeted by thousands of social media users.
The joke,popularized but not created by Facebook bigwig Steve Muriuki read thus; It’s only a matter of time before one of the Kenyan gospel artists releases a song called ‘sponsor ni Yesu’_*Nashuku itakuwa Jimmy Gait*
We laughed and laughed and laughed. And then Jimmy Gait,tugging at our heartstrings,decided to actualize the joke. And now here we are.
Facebook funnyman Steve Muriuki’s viral prediction of Jimmy Gait’s plans.
The last time Jimmy Gait was a hot topic of national conversation,he had done a very lackluster cover of British singer Adele’s global hit Hello. Jimmy decided to give it his own twisted twist and to throw in a few evangelical utterances around the song.
Result? One of the worst pieces of garbage ever churned out by a self-respecting Kenyan musician. Jimmy Gait’s Hello was a terrible terrible train wreck. Every Kenyan with a little ounce of dignity in themselves severely berated the singer and slammed the song.
Jimmy even went on a whirlwind media tour of sorts promoting what is probably the single most disgusting pieces of music ever created in the last decade. He even shot a shitty video for the song – a video that performed so dismally on YouTube,it’s still struggling to rack up 70,000 views many months after it’s disastrous release.
Undaunted,Jimmy decided to multiply his notoriety and jump on a viral joke- to make yet another practical joke on us.
If you’ve followed social media for the last few days,you must have realized that Jimmy Gait, ever the crafty opportunist,has just released a song titled ‘Yesu Ndiye Sponsor “
No one is surprised that Jimmy Gait did that- at least,that.
What is shocking many,however,is the fact that Jimmy Gait decided to turn a Facebook joke into reality while at the same time trying to balance his stupidity with evangelism.
One,It is shocking that Jimmy Gait, a seasoned Gospel singer,decided to equate the Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to those dirty old men (in)famous for bedding STI-infected college girls in exchange for material luxuries.
Two,it’s shocking that Jimmy Gait took a simple Facebook joke and run with it,not just validating it but also sanctioning it by actualizing what we all dismissed as an improbable, hilarious possibility.
Jimmy Gait has been absent from the music scene for a while now and the poor man,who fell from grace immediately after Furi Furi,will do anything to recapture the National attention and become the media darling he once used to be.
Gone are the days when Jimmy Gait would casually walk into the vaunted offices of the likes of Bob Collymore and Jeff Koinange and casually talk them into not just appearing in his next music video but also singing in it.
Jimmy was a formidable force back then – indomitable,invincible,hugely successful,dynamic and very influential.
All of that mojo wore off pretty quick and the man sank so deep into the sands of obscurity,he would do anything,sing anything and try anything to recapture the attention again.
He morphed from a true Servant of Christ and a genuine singer of the Gospel of the Lord to a desperate little snake that was dying to be seen and heard again.
And that’s how we ended up with the unrepentant garbage that was Hello.
And how we’re here,yet again,with this whole mess of Yesu Ndiye Sponsor situation.
By recording a song of such a deplorable nature,Jimmy has demonstrated to the World,clearly, what a sorry mess he’s become and how he truly has lost it and sank to the lowest of lows in a bid to stir a conversation – not around Jesus – but himself.
A song titled ‘Yesu Ndiye Sponsor’ runs the risk of having it’s message swallowed up by the sheer absurdity of its title and the manner of controversy it’s nature and connotations may attract.

But the 2016 Jimmy is NO LONGER the affable,scrupulous musical preacher we knew back in 2010. He’s changed into a some sort of a musical clown and a bad,tired social media punching bag whose latest work is more of a mockery minefield than an attempt to ‘Spread the Word’ and represent Christ.
Jimmy seems to have resigned to his fate,resigned to the sad fact that his star may never shine again,his past glory is gone and that his ‘Appointment’ days are as good as over and therefore,the man has absolutely nothing to lose and can sing whatever,try whatever,release whatever bullshit with very little fear of a backlash.
It’s not even clear anymore what amount of seriousness Jimmy Gait has been employing on his latest projects many of which seem to be spurred by fly off the wall ideas social media catchphrases than a determined,well researched inspiration.
Jimmy has not only REDUCED Jesus Christ into some woeful deity easily compared to cultural events and social media slogans and street slangs,he has also terribly diminished his own meaning and purpose,eroded his legacy and dwindled his fortunes to irreparable ways.
Granted,the Country will surely create a heated conversation around his latest song and he might even get a couple invites to these Friday Evening tabloid shows allover our TV stations but all that will NOT be for a job well done. Or for the sake of the Christ Jesus.
Any attention Mr. Jimmy Gait is likely to get,and buzz he is likely to create will all be as a result of his buffonery,the stupid lyricism he’s been stuck in lately,the responses on social media and what really has gone wrong with a young man that once held so much promise.
His music has now become a troll lottery- Awaited anxiously to be shredded and blown to pieces,to be laughed at and jeered at,to be lampooned and pooh-poohed.
And even when he’s clowning everyone,he isn’t even the best clown in the room. He has failed. Disastrously.
Poor lost soul.
