Gospel singer Bahati was on Friday reduced to tears while speaking about his late mother.

The singer was speaking to Anto Neosoul on NTV‘s The Trend show where he revealed that he wishes his mum can see what he has become now.

“When your mum looks down at you from heaven, what do you think she thinks about Bahati?” the presenter asked.

“At times miss her…” said the singer. “At times I’m misunderstood but I’m only trying my best, you know, to make her proud. As much as they (ABC children’s home) took care of me, you still miss the love of a mother.”

Charity

Bahati

Bahati went on to share that a reason why he gives back so much to the society is that he was helped when his mother passed on.

“Record labels in Kenya are dead because new artists are not making money. I have never made any money from the artists I have supported ever since I started. It is just in me. Someone supported me so I have to keep supporting them, even when I am insulted for doing it,” Bahati said. 

 

 

“Wacheni Ujinga sasa. Too much acting” Bahati and Marua told by fans after Bahati’s cheating episode 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Kenyans believe Bahati and Diana Marua’s reality show has nothing to do with reality and is all scripted.

This is after an episode in which the popular gospel singer was accused of cheating by his PA. In the show, the PA approached Marua and told her that Bahati has been flirting with a certain woman who she has been attending all her shows.

Real?

“We’ve been going for events and he flirts with women. There’s this particular chic who never misses any of his events. I don’t know how she usually knows where we are but I always see her. So Bahati has been going for shows with this chic. Who does bahati think he is? Because he’s a celebrity he thinks he can get away with anything? This is the last thing I expected to hear,” Emma, his PA, told Marua.

Fans in the comment section blasted the two saying they have turned their show into an acted drama seeking for views.

Bahati finally addresses rumors that his record label is crushing down: it’s more of a ministry because it doesn’t make money from the artistes 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Bahati has given a rather unexpected explanation regarding recent flying rumours that his record label is crashing after several artists left.

Last week, fellow gospel singers Mr Seed and Weezdom left his record label EMB after internal wrangles. A promoter also accused Bahati of conning him several thousands while starting the record label. Speaking to Mzazi Willy M Tuva, Bahati said that his record label operates more like a charity and doesn’t focus on making profits from artists.

“EMB entertainment is a business which wants to raise people, actually, it’s more of a ministry because it doesn’t make money from the artistes. So if money is not involved you cannot fall out with anyone. We are still building and its time for another artiste (to be signed),” Bahati said. 

Fatherly spirit

He added that despite the ugly controversy that has surrounded him and his label, he’s happy that he’s still able to change lives through it.

“I can say this confidently, God has given me the grace to uplift others. To support a new artiste, you need to pump in money, to make a good video you need money. At that time when an artiste is starting out you cannot make it a business, you need a good heart for your artist to prosper,” he said. 

Regarding Weezdom leaving EMB, Bahati shockingly revealed that he wasn’t even signed by him in the first place.

“Weezdom wasn’t signed officially, Weezdom is a friend, I have a fatherly spirit,” he said.
