On December 29, 2019, Kenyan rapper Khaligraph Jones performed at the NRGWave Festival in Mombasa, where he was seen wearing a priestly gown.
Pastor Godfrey Migwi of House of Hope Church has spoken out against the use of priestly gowns in music videos, citing it as an insult to God.
“Woe unto you and your generations to come after you Bahati and the one I heard he’s called kaligraph (sic) Jones, wearing Bishops gowns is wrong,” Pastor Migwi said in a Facebook post.
He further warned that such actions attract curses upon the artists and their families, referencing Bible verses that narrate the downfall of King Belshazzar and King Uzziah.
“Am warning you misguided entertainers, you are attracting curses upon your life and your generations to come, I know you’re after fame and money but you’re completely lost, mark my words, you better repent and break the curses, God is never mocked,” he said.
