Bahati’s record label Eastlands Most Beloved has seen some of the big artist leave the label in the last two weeks, starting with Bahati’s best freiend Mr See who announced his departure a week ago on his instagram page.

Just days after Mr Seed’s departure David Wonder  joined the list of artistes who have shown their backs to Bahati.

According to David Wonder, Bahati told them that he had done his part in their careers and whoever wanted to leave the label was free to do so and whoever wanted to stay was free to stay. He chose to leave.

Weezdom, the first EMB signee who left the stable before Seed and David said that he did so after being forced out by Diana Marua who is Bahati’s wife.

While addressing the issue in an interview Bahati said,“EMB entertainment is a business which wants to raise people, actually it’s more of a ministry because it doesn’t make money from the artistes. So if money is not involved you cannot fall out with anyone. We are still building and its time for another artiste (to be signed),” he explained during an interview on Mambo Mseto where he also addressed his apparent beef with Mr Seed.

He further addressed Weezdom departure saying that he wasn’t signed officially at the record label and he had just taken him under his wing . “Weezdom wasn’t signed officially, Weezdom is a friend, I have a fatherly spirit.”

In addition he said that God has given him the ability to uplift others and EMB records for him was a sacrifice since he didn’t make money from it.

“I can say this confidently God has given me the grace to uplift others. To support a new artiste, you need to pump in money, to make a good video you need money. At that time when an artiste is starting out you cannot make it a business, you need a good heart for your artist to prosper,” he explained.
