Kenyan gospel artist Bahati has made headlines with his promise to ban Twitter if he becomes President of Kenya. The declaration was made on social media, where he has been a frequent target of trolls.
According to Bahati, Kenyans on Twitter are the worst trolls online, and he would likely ban all social media platforms if he had the power.
His statement came after he was trolled for wearing a dress and being carried by his wife, Diana Marua. The incident sparked a heated debate on social media, with many users mocking him for his fashion choice.
However, Bahati has taken the trolls lightly, and his promise to ban Twitter has sparked a mixed reaction from Kenyans. While some have defended his right to express himself, others have questioned his ability to lead the country.
As the self-proclaimed King of Gospel, Bahati has been a prominent figure in the Kenyan music industry. However, his promise to ban Twitter has raised concerns about his commitment to free speech and the rights of citizens.
On Twitter, one user responded to Bahati's promise by saying, 'His English might be burnt before banning Twitter.' The comment reflects the widespread criticism of Bahati's language skills, which have been a subject of ridicule on social media.
Despite the controversy surrounding his promise, Bahati remains a popular figure in Kenyan entertainment. His music and fashion choices continue to inspire and provoke his fans, who are eagerly waiting to see if he will fulfill his promise to become President of Kenya.
