Shusho has refuted these claims and says she will sue the pastor for defamation. She has already involved lawyers who are prepared to take action against anyone spreading misinformation about her marriage.

“Those using my image or name to spread lies will face the full force of the law,” Shusho stated.

This comes after Shusho previously revealed she left the marriage due to a calling from God that required her to focus on her ministry elsewhere.

Let me be open, I have never been fake and I don’t lie. The truth is it’s an assignment. There is nothing different other than that. The assignment God has given me this season cannot allow me to stay where I was. I had to leave to go fulfil the assignment,”Shusho said.

Shusho maintains her separation is due to following a religious calling, not marital troubles.

“Tell your neighbor that it’s painful, but God has ordained it. He will always prepare you for what lies ahead. To reach a new level, you must face some challenges to prepare you for what is to come.

When you ascend to a new level, you will encounter certain challenges, but God will always equip you to overcome them for the upcoming season,” Pastor John stated.

Last month, Christina Shusho publicly revealed her decision to seek separation from her husband, citing a divine calling that necessitated her departure from their marriage of three children.

In an interview with Jerusalem Church TV, she candidly expressed her intentions, stating, “Let me be candid, I have always been truthful and do not deceive. The truth is that it’s a mission. There is nothing else. The mission that God has assigned me in this season does not allow me to remain where I was. I had to depart to fulfill the assignment.”

Christina described her approach to her husband as respectful, expressing her desire for him to “release her” as she embarked on her journey. She clarified that their separation was amicable and characterized by mutual understanding.

While Christina has been outspoken about their marital situation in recent years, her husband, Pastor John Shusho, has maintained a more private stance on the matter.

Tanzanian gospel sensation Christina Shusho tied the knot at a tender age of 19, a decision she attributes to her mother’s concerns about her remarkable beauty.

Recalling the circumstances leading to her marriage, the “Shusha Nyavu” crooner revealed that her mother, fearing the potential consequences of her striking appearance, swiftly arranged her union with a man who expressed interest in her.

“At 19, just after completing my high school education, my mother, seeing me as this exceptionally beautiful girl at home, was concerned that I might stray and bring dishonor to the family,” Shusho shared in a recent forum in Tanzania. “I must admit, I was indeed very beautiful back then, perhaps more so than I am now.”

In a separate interview, Shusho opened up about her decision to remove her wedding ring and part ways with her pastor husband, John Shusho. Speaking candidly on New Jerusalem Church TV, the renowned artiste attributed her actions to her unwavering commitment to her divine calling.

“My decision to separate was solely driven by my dedication to fulfill the mission I was called to undertake,” the “Zakayo” hitmaker explained. “It was not an easy choice, but it was necessary for the path I needed to follow.”

Dismissing the notion of being labeled as a pastor, Shusho clarified her stance, stating that she views herself as a dreamer with a specific vision to pursue.

“I prefer not to be referred to as a pastor. There’s still much more I aspire to achieve,” she asserted.

Addressing her separation from her husband, Shusho stressed the importance of understanding and supporting each other’s unique callings rather than conforming to traditional roles.

As anticipation builds for the “Zakayo” song, Shusho’s fans eagerly await its release, curious about Kenyans’ response. Three years ago, Shusho captivated audiences with her song “Shusha Nyavu” (Cast Your Nets), based on Luke 5:4-6, which garnered over 13 million views on YouTube.

Her continued success and unwavering popularity suggest that Shusho’s musical journey is far from over.

Tanzanian gospel singer Christina Shusho has revealed the reason behind her departure from the marital home. In a recent interview, Shusho emphasized her honesty and explained that a divine calling, experienced through a dream, led her to pursue a new path.

“I want to be completely transparent,” Shusho said. “This is a calling, not a separation. God’s assignment for this season requires me to move forward on my own.”

Shusho assured fans that her decision was amicable. She spoke about respectfully discussing the situation with her husband and receiving his support in following her calling.

“I explained that I would carry this burden, just as I always have,” Shusho said. “There were no problems. We understand each other’s callings are different, even though we were united in marriage.”

Shusho elaborated on the importance of respecting individual callings, even within a marriage.

Tanzanian gospel artist Christina Shusho has revealed that she sees nothing wrong with Diamond Platnumz’s coffin entrance performance.

In a recent interview with online media, Shusho said that she had not seen the performance herself, but that she respects the creativity of Tanzanian artists.

“I was a little bit busy so I haven’t followed up on that, I haven’t seen it yet but one thing I know is that Tanzanian artists are so creative and I respect them so much,” she said. “They are very very creative so anything they do if it is creativity I fully accept and acknowledge creativity.”

Shusho’s defense of Diamond’s performance comes after the singer was criticized by some for using a coffin as part of his stage show. However, Shusho’s comments suggest that not everyone is offended by Diamond’s artistic choices.

Diamond’s coffin entrance performance was part of his performance at the Wasafi Festival in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The singer emerged from the coffin to perform his song “Yatapita.” The performance was met with mixed reactions, with some fans praising Diamond’s creativity and others criticizing him for disrespecting the dead.

Diamond himself later admitted that he was “scared as f*ck” while inside the coffin, but said that he was happy with the way the performance turned out.

“Coming out from the Coffin was an insane Experience last night, was scared as f*ck in there! 👽,” he wrote on social media.

Whether or not you agree with Diamond’s choice of stage props, there is no doubt that he is one of the most creative and innovative artists in Africa. His willingness to push the boundaries and experiment with new ideas is part of what makes him so popular with his fans.

‘Ninanga’ra’ is one of the most powerful praise and worship songs that Christina Shusho has ever dropped. Christian faithful are now mad at the Bongo singer after she corrupted the song for a TV commercial.

Unaitas Sacco Society contracted Christina Shusho to drop a song in praise of the sacco. The singer instead corrupted her song ‘Ninanga’ra’ which praises God and made it to praise Unaitas Sacco Society.

Public backlash

Christian faithful were quick to condemn Christina Shusho and Unaitas Sacco Society after the corrupt version of ‘Ninanga’ra’ was released.

ODM Communications Director Philip Etale joined Christian faithful condemning Unaitas Sacco Society for utter disrespect of gospel music.

I so this from the first day and all I can say it's in bad taste and @ShushoChristina of all people should have not done this to her own song. @unaitas_kenya should look for more creative ways to do their marketing. This one will backlash.
