Mwimbaji Bahati has faced a backlash online after supporting King Kaka's song Wajinga Nyinyi, which criticizes the Kenyan government and economy.
King Kaka's song, Wajinga Nyinyi, has been widely praised for its honest portrayal of the country's economic struggles and corruption.
However, Bahati's support for the song has not been well-received by many Kenyans online, who have reminded him of his past support for the Jubilee Party during the 2017 general elections.
Some Kenyans have taken to social media to express their disappointment with Bahati's decision to support King Kaka's song, with some even calling him out for his past actions.
"Bahati, you were singing for Jubilee during the elections, now you're singing for King Kaka?" one Twitter user asked.
Others have praised King Kaka for his bravery in speaking out against the government and economy, with one user saying, "King Kaka is a true patriot, he's not afraid to speak the truth."
Despite the backlash, Bahati has not publicly apologized for his support of King Kaka's song.
King Kaka's song, Wajinga Nyinyi, has been viewed over 1 million times on YouTube and has sparked a national conversation about the country's economic struggles and corruption.
