The little drama boy: Bahati’s lost objective in the gospel music industry

Posted on by Branny

This year has had its fair share of drama be it from politics through to the music industry.

The gospel music industry in Kenya as we always say is just a circus, especially around the contemporary music scene.

It’s just the other day when Kenyans on social media were praising Kevin Kioko alias Bahati for “supporting” talent when he took Denno.

They did a collabo together that we all fell in love with. Well, that was just about it.

Remember in early 2019, the EMB records boss had a major set back when all his artists inclusive of Mr.Seed, David Wonder among others left his label.

Reasons? They all had different stories of experiences with Bahati’s label.

Bahati’s Peter Blessing

Now this year, his newly late 2019 signee Peter Blessings and Producer Paulo have been on the receiving end.

Bahati and Peter

A few weeks ago it emerged that Peter Blessings was arrested on the order of  Bahati for breach of contract. This came after Peter Blessings had asked to leave the label and start off on his own more like “hustle” independently.

Bahati got the “Nasubiri Bado” hitmaker for defying a supposed 20 years contract. I mean why get bound by such?

At the same time, his one-time producer Paulo was also arrested for theft and inciting Peter Blessings to exit the Bahati owned label.

Publicity or loss of relevance?

On the other hand, as we castigate him for his actions remember he has been vocal about his music business. Maybe these two are serving as an example of what happens when you breach a contract.

Whether there is truth on not at least that is clear.

However, one would question the honesty behind his ‘signing” of new artists in his label only to be harassed later on.

My two cents is Bahati should try and focus on the gospel music he is supposed to be doing. It’s unnecessary to feed the public with drama to remain relevant in the scene.

Ok, his music too has not been topping the charts so well maybe he should restrategize be it music or business.

Why? The exits from his label are louder than his music!!

Sondeka part three had its antics in the making with the gospel boys

Posted on by Branny

When Naiboi first released Sondeka the original version, well we did not know that he was clearly creating an anthem.

Well, three songs down we can say he achieved the goal. Then days later seems the making of Sondeka part three(Gospel version) is said to have had some bits of drama.

One of the Sondeka Part 3 gospel artist Tony Maluda claims there were some moments that they almost threw punches at each other.

For one Maluda shared on his facebook what it took to make the Song what it is today.

“One of my favorite moments 2019 was being featured on the Sondeka joint (blows were almost exchanged on set ???????????? story for another day) wrote this verse while heading to the studio I wasn’t supposed to be on the song… Was given like 30 minutes to write and submit it but 30 minutes was more than what I needed…. I spazzed on it…” the post read.

Maluda

For curiosity sake, Ghafla got a gist of what happened.

According to Maluda, he(Solo) was planning to do a gospel refix of the original and tried to reach out to Naiboi only to be told that the gospel version is almost ready.

Hastily he was asked by Naiboi to do a verse that he did very fast of which he says he was forced to edit out some parts of with people’s names and churches he mentioned in his verse.

He says Naiboi was okay with verse but “Mum and Daddy’s children” could not take that. I mean that was their home being bashed by Maluda. Talk of drama!!!
