Larry Madowo Offers Free But Inflated Advice To Bahati And Willy Paul…Oh! And What Did He Call Them?

Willy Paul and Bahati, two upcoming gospel artistes in the country, have been embroiled in controversy over a couple of weeks after the latter accused the former of being a thief who steals his songs by conspiring with producers like Teddy B.

Bahati ranted heavily on his Facebook fanpage, describing how Willy Paul has frustrated every effort he makes to produce some new songs.

Willy Paul, however, remained mum and went ahead to release one of the songs he allegedly stole from Bahati.

Eric Omondi was the first celebrity to offer advice to the two where he urged them to forgive each other and reconcile. They are yet to do so though.

And now NTV’s Larry Madowo has penned a piece rebuking the two artistes with some advice in it. Larry says that the two are “two princes of gospel music, each vying for the ultimate crown of boy king. Both are barely out of their teens, moderately talented and much loved by legions of fans.”

While Larry believes the tiff between the artistes rose when Bahati released his song ‘Lover’ only for Willy Paul to counter him with his ‘Vigelegele’, the truth is that the two are competing for fame and recognition.

Larry has advised that the two sincerely need counseling and training just like one gets the necessary training before they are ordained and sacrosanct as priest.

“Bahati and Willy Paul are just the most prominent of a growing list of child stars in the gospel music industry,” Larry says.

“Although I’m no longer a Catholic, I have always admired process of training priests. After years of philosophy and theology studies with some pastoral work thrown in, a young novice is lucky if he gets ordained a deacon seven years after high school. In that time, he has earned and mastered the ministry, apprenticed under more experienced priests and interacted with diverse congregations. Every Christian denomination  has a process of instruction and ordination before one is considered a leader.”

Larry summarises by saying, “Neither of them has a publicist or a manager. Some adult supervision is well and truly overdue before either or both self-destruct.”
