‘If the rumours you’ve been writing were the truth i’d be in jail,’ Singer Bahati tells off bloggers

Following a storm that was a fallout between two gospel artists, Gospel singer Bahati has finally opened up with his side of the story his friend and former EMB records signee Mr Seed.

Mr Seed and his fiancée Nimo Gachuiri have been quite vocal since the Kumbe Kumbe hitmaker left Bahati’s record label.

There were reports that Bahati had turned on the artist by failing to pay him, while other EMB records rebels claimed Bahati’s wife Diana Marua played a big role in his sudden shift in priorities.

Weeks have flown by since the explosive allegations and while Bahati has never taken to address the issue directly, he decided to address the topic of falling out with artists on Sunday, March 10.

#PART_3 Now that most people are always Quick to Comment without Research tell me of any Young Boy at 26 yrs who's willing to Sacrifice in Helping where there has never been a Profit! . And the Beautiful Ladies out there be TRUE and tell me if you can let your Men host more than Four (4) Artists investing to Support them for more than Two Years Now with no concrete Profit??? That's Why I respect this Woman @Diana_Marua Bcoz I should have used the Money to get her a bigger house but she allowed me to be Used by GOD! LET'S RESPECT THAT. So to the Lazy Bloggers who don't even want to Research and get our fans the Truth I forgive you.. If the Romours you've been Writing were the TRUTH today I'd be in Jail but one of the things I'll tell you Now is according to the Records as I write this there's NOT EVEN ONE of the Artists Signed Under #EMB that is not Owed by EMB a few Millions (And I actually Forgave them Coz saying this in the Most Humble Way, None of them Can Pay this Debt) WHY? Coz Music Business takes time to give Returns- An artist Can take even 3-5Yrs to make Money in Kenya that's why We're always asking the fans to Keep Supporting our Craft. The Sacrifices I make for this Artists Cannot be Valued to Money & That's why I Leave it to God…. So when I see Cooked Stories on blogs FOR the Sake of TRENDING I just breathed in & Requested God to allow me Release all of them bcoz only God knows How I have Supported them from my Heart. I'm not Telling you for Sympathy; NO I'm just talking out of the Authority GOD has given me to let you Know the Facts. The Bloggers Writing about them Today I was literally begging them to even do a feature of them as I struggled with them before the followers they have today. FANS CAN WITNESS. The day I took David Wonder back to Music as he was working in a Salon with no Off_days in Umoja Estate or when I really fought hard for Mr Seed to make a Comeback with Kumbe Kumbe because I believed he had what it takes when put in the right platforms. Not forgetting that Once he gave me a Collabo. I Can't forget how Begged this Bloggers to Just write SO & SO is back but I THINK… #NEXTPART_4

According to Bahati, media had painted him in nasty light whilst he had sacrificed a lot just to get some of the artists to where they are today.

“Most of these artists I support, I meet them in conditions of life you cannot reveal. Some are even homeless. The fact is in Kenya, when you hear Someone has been signed it’s not really a Signing but it’s just like taking the position of a parent in their lives,” he explained.

He goes on to refute claims that he owes any of the artists any money, adding that the situation is quite the contrary.

“One of the things I’ll tell you now is according to the records as I write this there’s no single artist signed under #EMB that is not owed by EMB a few Millions (And I actually Forgave them Coz saying this in the Most Humble Way, none of these can pay me because music takes time to pay,” he went on.

His sentinents were the exact antithesis of what Mr Seed was grieving about because Seed claimed Bahati owed him a significant amount of money which consequently made him struggle to cater for his girl Nimo who has since given birth to a healthy baby boy.

One thing which is for certain is Bahati enjoys quite a handsome following which has at times led to hundreds of upcoming artists reaching out to him for help to make it in the jungle that is the Kenyan music scene.
