Kenyan gospel singer Kevin Bahati and his wife Diana Marua welcomed their newborn son, Majesty, on Wednesday, August 14, 2019. The baby's arrival was met with excitement on social media, but it didn't take long for the online community to start questioning the speed of his rise to fame.

Just hours after his birth, Majesty's social media pages were created, and he already had thousands of followers on Instagram. His follower count has surpassed 23,000, leaving many to wonder how this was possible in such a short time.

Adding to the controversy, Majesty was named the brand ambassador of RFH Hospital, where he was born. This move has sparked debate, with some people questioning the legitimacy of the appointment.

Some of the comments from the online community include:

  • “Hii Kenya ni connections tu Unazaliwa unapata kazi @0 day old Sasa huyu majesty bahati ashakua brand ambassador tena,” wrote Angel P.
  • “Mimi hata Niko na followers 250,” Tanasha Mondi commented.
  • “Sai ako 6k+ mm nachezea 200 only,” Nyawate Barbra wrote.
  • “Kako na job on the first day of existence na kuna watu wametarmac forever na degree zao hadi viatu zikakuliwa na baro,” remarked Estelle.

As one Twitter user pointed out, “Yaani @Majestybahati is an ambassador already and he’s just hours old na a grown ass woman like me bado nasoma ndo nipate job???” (@ytherandegwa, August 14, 2019)
