The rivalry between Bahati and Willy Paul is just like that one of Diamond and Ali Kiba; on September 3rd 2017 Willy Paul dropped a new song ‘Jigi Jigi’ that went on to become an instant hit. Four days later Bahati responded by dropping a song dubbed ‘Ndogo Ndogo’.
Willy Paul song is doing much better than Bahati’s if the views on YouTube is anything to go by; the song has garnered one million views in just 16 days. Bahati’s ‘Ndogo Ndogo’ has slightly over 275k views.
Well, Hero Radio sought the opinion of Nakuru residents in regard to Bahati and Willy Paul’s songs. One thing that came out clear is that most people didn’t know whether their songs could be classified as gospel or secular; remember Bahati and Willy Paul claim to be gospel artists.
Watch the interesting reactions from Nakuru residents in the video below:

A few days ago the social media was awash with news that Hero Radio had shut down operations after a fake memo surfaced purporting that the popular radio station was letting go its entire work force.
“In every journey there must be stop overs. Unfortunately Hero radio has come to one. We have decided to break so many beautiful hearts who have worked tirelessly to ensure we remain afloat but the tide has proven to be stronger than us,” The fake memo read in part.
Hero Radio CEO Sam West dismissed the memo and explained that the popular Nakuru based radio station was only rebranding and had not sacked its employees.
Ghafla! has also learnt that Hero Radio has since started advertising job positions at the station. Sam West confirmed the station was in search of new talent to join the rebranded station.
“As part of our rebranding activities, Hero Radio is keen on improving its content and giving new opportunities to new budding talents. Are you confident enough that you can entertain the public with good vibes, great voice and content. Then we are looking for you.
