On a recent IGTV video, Bahati shared a touching moment from 2015 when he visited the Abandoned Baby Centre (ABC) children's home for a thanksgiving show.
At the time, Morgan, who was just two years old, insisted on going home with Bahati after the show, leaving the staff at the orphanage in tears.
"I was Just Starting in My Music Career; Few Years Since I had left ABC Children's in Mathare & this Was My First Concert Ever! After the show the 2 Year old Morgan cried to go home with me and he did not want to go back to the Orphanage where he lived after the demise of the parents," Bahati revealed.
Despite being financially unstable and not eligible to adopt, Bahati decided to take Morgan home, citing the emotional situation as the reason for his decision.
"I was still struggling financially to afford raising a child. The big complication was I lived in a small room & and I was not qualified to adopt ( I had no one to take care of the baby)," he added.
As a result, Bahati had to take on the responsibility of caring for Morgan on his own, including teaching himself how to cook and taking him on all his shows before they could get a committed house help.
