Kenyan Gospel Artist, Bahati has today come under fire for “neglecting” his grandfather who the singer says raised him.
“He raised me,and it was time for heaven to meet guka…” said Bahati in a tweet.
However, the house that his grandfather lives in appeared to be a mud house with a mabati roof. This upset a few KOT who accused the singer of neglecting his grandfather yet he built his wife a big house worth more than ten million Kenya shillings.
Bahati was bragging that he used more than 10M to surprise his wife with a brand new house.
He also spent 6M by buying Diana the car of her dreamsHe gave Diana's mother 5M as dowry

Bahati bragging all the time about 10M house he bought for Diana while his grandfather is living in a house like a squirrel hole is very shameful. He should stop this madness and try to upgrade granny's life…. it's the grandfather who made him whom he is today#JusticeForTheOld pic.twitter.com/wYOcjkVuzk

The singer last months surprised his wife, Diana with a new fully furnished house.
VIDEO:
“Don’t Cry Mama Heaven it’s just a Small gift I Bought to show you how Much I Love you & Our Family,” said Bahati on an Instagram post.
The seemingly exited and overjoyed Diana responded in a heartfelt message saying,
“Yesterday was by far the best day of my life. I cannot begin to explain how our day ended. To say the least, my emotions were misplaced, I had never lacked words like that before. My heart literally skipped a bit, my legs couldn’t hold me anymore, my hands were shaking, my stomach was full of butterflies, my whole body had goosebumps. How he managed to pull that surprise was something I least expected. All I did was breakdown and think of how far we’ve come, where we are, the things God has done in our lives, everything was unspeakable and overwhelming. You @bahatikenya are Heaven sent! I’m still in shock, how did you manage to pull that off? I wasn’t ready! Nothing will ever be enough to say how grateful I am. THANK YOU.”
Bahati and his family had visited their grandfather who will make a debut on their reality show “Being Bahati.”
The show, which airs on NTV was recently nominated as the Best TV Show in Kenya for the 2018 Kalasha Awards.
