January 2020 was barely underway when singer Bahati sparked outrage with a publicity stunt that many deemed cheap and attention-seeking.
On January 6, 2020, Bahati shared a photo of his wife Diana posing with his brother Kioko, captioning it 'Babe Huyu Ni Naniii???? #HatutaishiHivi2020.'
However, the post did not go down well with a section of his fans, who lashed out at him, telling him to style up.
Some of the comments included 'Prince Morris' urging Bahati to dress his wife in dignity, while others like 'Feny Felly' accused him of planning to add more views to his reality show.
Others like 'Mercy Molly' questioned whether Bahati was seeking sympathy or just trying to post something to get attention.
As the backlash continued, Bahati's fans defended him, with some like 'Kally Kish' telling him to let his brother handle the situation.
However, the majority of the comments were negative, with many calling out Bahati for his cheap publicity stunt.
