Published on May 9, 2020, gospel artist Kevin Bahati was once one of Kenya's most valued acts, earning high-profile gigs, including a performance at the statehouse.
At the time, Bahati's charisma and talent had even earned him a special place in the hearts of the first lady, Margaret Kenyatta, and President Uhuru Kenyatta.
However, Bahati's career has taken a dramatic turn in recent times, with the artist courting controversy and media attention through various means.
One such instance was a viral video where Bahati was seen performing a homosexual act by transforming himself into a woman, sparking harsh criticism from his fellow musicians.
It appears that Bahati's recent actions are not just about seeking attention, but also a cry for help, as he claims that President Uhuru Kenyatta had promised him support and opportunities, which have not materialized.
In a recent update, Bahati expressed his disappointment, saying, 'Wacha Ni #FlashBack Siku Mudosi Aliniambia atani Support Hadi Ni achieve My All My Musical Dreams 😭😭😭 BADO NANGOJA 😊.'
Furthermore, Bahati has also been involved in a public feud with fellow musician Willy Paul, with the artist throwing shade at Paul, alleging that he used to be his songwriter.
It remains to be seen how Bahati's career will unfold in the coming days, but one thing is certain – his recent actions have left many in the music industry questioning his judgment and priorities.
