However, in an interview with Milele Breakfast, Bahati clarified his intentions, stating that his visits to WCB are strictly for business purposes and to learn from the top East African record label.
"Mimi kuenda Wasafi of course is for the business relationship and you know with no doubt, Wasafi is one of the most successful record labels in Africa," Bahati said.
