Weezdom's Return to EMB Records Sparks Backlash

Kenyan musician Weezdom has returned to EMB Records, a move that has sparked a heated debate among fans and critics alike.

As reported earlier, Weezdom was one of the first artists to leave EMB Records under a cloud of negativity, citing Bahati's lack of support for his growth as a musician.

However, in a recent Instagram post, Weezdom described himself as the 'prodigal son' who had returned home, thanking Bahati for taking him back.

But the comments to his post were scathing, with fans accusing him of lacking spine and being ungrateful to his former supporters.

One fan wrote, 'uyu mwiziwadom amepotea' (you thief, you've gone missing), while another said, 'Weezdom weezdom unataka nikuite mara ngapi... Why are you soo confused'.

Others called him out for trying to create attention and for being a bad role model. Some even questioned his decision to return to EMB Records, saying that he had been supported by other artists in the past.

Despite the backlash, Weezdom remains optimistic, saying that he has learned from his mistakes and is ready to move forward.

As the debate continues, one thing is clear: Weezdom's return to EMB Records has sparked a heated discussion about the music industry and the role of artists in it.
