Kenya witnessed wild online uproar following Bahati´s new love song Wanani that to the surprise of many, featured a video vixen instead of his wife, Diana Marua.
Wanani is no lie a romantic ballad dedicated to your significant other and for most artistes, their partners are the ones who take up the role of being vixens in such tracks.
However, gospel artiste, Kevin Bahati expressed a different opinion, after picking his wife´s sassy best friend, Phoina to step in the shoes of being his lover in the anthem.
A move that sparked online uproar on social media with fans bashing him for looking for love in a different woman, therefore leaving his wife envious.

Phoina got serenaded with romantic words, words that swept her off her feet and words that were a true depiction of what true love is meant to be.
Why not Diana?
The Kenyan singer has now responded to the same, explaining first, that Diana Marua is his wife and that she is set to feature in an upcoming special video of his.
According to him, fans are free to speak and he is not in the industry to respond to his fans´ emotions, rather spark a different feel in his approach to music videos.
Sikumtumia Diana sababu yupo kwa nyimbo zangu nyingi, nimefanya naye mapenzi na kuna video yangu special inatoka 2021 bado ni yeye yupo. Isitoshe, ndio maana naitwa gospel artiste, nafaa kuwa artistic nisifanye vitu ambavyo watu wanategemea.
Further articulating that God is the one to judge him and his decision to pick Phoina was so that he could feel free and comfortable to express his best self during the shoot, a role in which the businesswoman fitted perfectly.
I don´t depend on people´s opinions but God´s. But why Phoina? Niliona in terms of confidence na chemistry ambayo nilikuwa nahitaji kwa video, niliona ni mtu ambaye angefaa zaidi na aliweza.
Bahati however clarified Wanani by no means hints that he has shifted into secular music, rather citing that his gospel fans also express emotions and feel love – an emotion he was targeting to respond to.
