Gospel singer Willy Paul has faced intense criticism after being accused of stealing unreleased songs and bribing producers by fellow musician Bahati.
According to reports, the scandal led to widespread abuse on social media, with many calling Willy Paul a failure.
Allegations of Theft ¶
However, Dr. Eddie, a Kenyan producer and singer, has come to Willy Paul's defense, urging the public to stop judging him. Dr. Eddie stated that the constant criticism could lead to severe consequences, including suicide.
People should leave Willy Paul alone... You're going to make a person hang himself... The young man has heard now. Of the two, none is a saint. As much as Willy might have wronged him, Bahati has done wrong in putting private affairs to the judgment of the public...
Dr. Eddie also pointed out that the controversy affects not just Willy Paul, but the entire Gospel music fraternity. He advised critics to focus on the music they enjoy rather than condemning others.
