Bahati says he lost Ksh 6 million while trying to manage artists at EMB 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Gospel singer Bahati has come out to share that he has lost a lot of money at EMB Record while trying to manager artists.

EMB has been on a spiral downfall of late and the singer has been working hard to try and do some damage control as artist after another started leaving.

Losing money

On Wednesday, the gospel singer relaunched the label and named Danny Gift as his new signee. In an interview with Kiss 100 after the event, the singer confessed that managing artists is hard and he has lost a lot of money in the process.

Six million to be exact.

“I lost 6 million when trying to manage my artiste and even execute a project. A song could cost me Kshs450-500,000 but fewer returns and it is okay. So in the midst of it all, I spent a lot,” he admitted to Kiss 100.

Interestingly, Bahati had confessed that EMB is not a business but more of a ministry several weeks ago. Why is he changing tune.

“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 it’s time for another artiste (to be signed),” he explained during an interview on Mambo Mseto where he addressed his apparent beef with Mr Seed.

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Popular Kenyan Actor and script writer Abel Mutua has revealed how he was included in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s first presidential campaign.

According to Mutua who had just resigned from Citizen TV, Secretary of Innovation, Digital and Diaspora Communication in the Office of the President Dennis Itumbi approached him after he left the job.

Speaking in an interview on Radio Jambo, Mutua shared that during the 2012-2013 General election, he was handed the mandate of being the Brand Ambassador of Uwezo fund, set up to help youth across the country.

“So 2012 October, nikakutana na my friend Dennis Itumbi, akanishow naskia ulitoka Citizen, so hauko Jobo, so niko na beshte yangu anataka kuran for president.

Watch: Bahati using hot video vixen in new song bring mixed reaction

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Gospel singer Bahati and Willy Paul are among most criticized artists in the gospel industry in Kenya. But we don’t blame fans for that. The two are always into “ungospel” lifestyle which doesn’t relate with many Christians.

Bahati has just released his new song “‘Nyota” which has him singing about being in debt to Jesus who died on the cross for him.

However, fans don’t really understand why he had to involve a video vixen in the song. The act left many wondering whether the song was about the girl or God.

Not a hit

“A good song but you don’t need to have that lady she’s bringing confusion to the theme of that good song,” said a fan on Youtube.

“Baha lakini young gospel artists acheni kwenda mkitoka kwa maandiko sana,mnajaribu kubadilisha gospel inakaa secular like.stick to one side,review songs za hapo mwanzo na saa hii.” another one added. 

“For me this is no!!!!!! You can do better than this jameni wimbo nimeusikiliza buttt noooo!!!!!!! ???” 

In general, the song which was shot in South Africa, has failed to impress his fans despite the quality shoot.

We are not perfect! Diana Marua and Bahati reveal after failing love test live on TV 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

How well do you know your partner?

Singer Bahati and wife Diana Marua recently left Kenyans speechless after proving they don’t know much about each other.

The two recently appeared on the Trend with Amina and confessed that they have been through a lot since they started dating.

Marua even shared that things have been hard on them since they fell in love but people see them as perfect.

“I really want to make it clear, you see people see us out there and they think that we are perfect family but we are not we go through issues just like any other person and I get so many DM’s on the same,” said Diana.

Love test

What left many surprised, however, is how the two are clueless about each other.

Amina asked them simple questions like each other’s favorite colors, shoe size and the day they realized they’ll be parents. The couples weren’t in sync and failed most of these questions.

Bahati reveals that he’s been ordered not to go anywhere near Uhuru and Ruto 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Singer Bahati claims that Uhuru Kenyatta’s team has restricted him from accessing the president and his deputy. Bahati made the revelations in Kirinyaga while performing at an event graced by DP Ruto which turned out chaotic.

“Nowadays I can only wave to you from afar, I was told not to come near you during performances, but still, that’s okay,” he said. 

Misbehaved while performing

The artist was highly criticized after sitting on the president’s chair while performing, something that is against protocol. Uhuru’s team are now very careful not to allow the same mistake that became a huge topic in the country.

“I’m still excited to sing in your presence and see you getting excited Bwana Deputy President,” he said.

Did Uhuru lie how he met the First Lady? Kenyans think so after watching this video

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

President Uhuru Kenyatta has been married to First Lady Margaret Kenyatta for almost three decades now. Uhuru, during International Women’s Day, celebrated his wife with a lovely message on social media saying how he met her.

However, there was a problem.

Kenyans think it’s a lie. Or, Uhuru lied to them in another instant where he shared how the two met. During his recent confession on Twitter, Uhuru said he was out swimming with his dad Jomo Kenyatta when he met a young Margaret.

Uhuru’s post

 

Two tales

Last year, he shared that they met while the president was swimming with his father and Kenya’s founding President Jomo Kenyatta.

Kenyans don’t know which story is true and they took online to bash the president. Maybe after 30 years, things have gotten blurry and Uhuru can’t clearly place the events. Only One person, who has remained silent, can confirm what really happened; The First Lady!

Will president Uhuru Kenyatta be among the invited quests at gospel singer’s grand wedding? Bahati spills the beans

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Gospel Singer Bahati is counting just a few months before he officially exchanges his vows with the love of his life, Diana Marua who also happens to be the future mother of his second child since word around town is that the lady is 5 months pregnant.

The two are however living as man and wife after they held their traditional wedding a few weeks ago as revealed through their social media pages. Though their union was done in-front of their parents, elders and friends the two are still looking forward to having a white wedding which will go down after Diana Marua welcomes her baby.

According to Bahati who has been revealing a few details about his wedding, he claims that the wedding will take place at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) and hopefully some of the invited quests like President Uhuru Kenyatta and big politicians will be present.

“I must ensure that President Kenyatta receives my invitation to the wedding. It will be big, all my fans in Nairobi will also be invited,”

The singer on the other hand went on to brush off a rumor stating that he rushed his traditional wedding to avoid his second child being born out of wedlock by saying;

“I did not fear being judged – that my wife conceived out of wedlock. Actually, I married to show a good example to society, especially the youth who look up to me as a mentor. I just wanted to show them that kama unataka kuwa na mali, uichukue kwa halali, si kwa kuiba,”
