In 2019, Mr. Seed's wife, Nimo, publicly accused Bahati of hypocrisy, detailing alleged financial neglect and mistreatment during her childbirth. She claimed these actions forced the gospel artist to leave his EMB record label, citing ongoing abuse.
Nimo described Bahati's refusal to provide financial support during her labor as a critical moment of neglect. She portrayed him as arrogant, suggesting his public image as a pious individual contrasted sharply with his private behavior.
The allegations emerged amid heightened scrutiny of Bahati's personal conduct, with Nimo urging followers to scrutinize his actions. The accusations were reported by a local publication on March 11, 2019.
