Jimmy Gait has released his highly anticipated 'last song' titled 'Makuu', shot in India, which he announced would be his last song last month.
However, following the release of 'Makuu', the gospel singer clarified that he is not quitting music, but rather transitioning to a higher calling.
"Makuu marks an end to a chapter in my ministry, transitioning to a higher calling. For them that have been thinking and saying that am quitting music, allow me to bring it to your attention that I can’t quit music," said Gait.
He also dismissed speculation that he is set to venture into politics, saying "I said I am releasing my last song as Jimmy Gait and people jumped into conclusions because I didn’t say what’s going on and sometimes it’s okay not to talk about your things. Others are saying I’m venturing into politics."
Additionally, Gait denied claims that he is going secular, stating "I feel like I have exhausted the first phase of my life in my career. I feel like God is leading me into a higher calling, more responsibility. People are thinking I’m going to secular, you’ll wait for that for a long time, I can never go to secular music, not even for a million years or a billion shillings."
