Bahati, a Kenyan musician known for his unwavering commitment to God, has found himself embroiled in controversy, eliciting accusations from netizens who attribute his new lifestyle choices to Diana Marua, his partner.
Once a prominent figure in the gospel music scene who made public promises never to forsake God, Bahati’s recent life choices have left his fans and followers utterly perplexed. His transition from gospel to secular music has been met with a mix of emotions, with his recent conduct igniting the wrath of social media users. The primary source of this controversy lies in his newfound penchant for partying and alcohol consumption, a stark departure from his previous image as a devout Christian.
Not too long ago, Bahati was hailed as a beacon for the churchgoing crowd, with his gospel music resonating deeply within his dedicated audience. However, recent developments have painted a contrasting picture of the artist.
Videos capturing Bahati reveling in the nightlife at various party venues have gone viral, casting doubt on the sincerity of his past commitments and spiritual devotion. In one such video, Bahati impressively showcases bartending skills at a Dubai hotspot, while his wife, Diana Marua, dances and enjoys the club atmosphere.
The carefree demeanor exhibited in these videos has left his fans and followers nostalgic for the Bahati of old, affectionately known as “Bahati wa Mama na Barua.”
Perhaps the most disconcerting aspect for his supporters is the impression that Bahati appears to be under the influence of substances in some of these clips, which have been widely shared on social media platforms.
Many speculate that the allure of wealth and success has led him astray from the spiritual path he once vowed to uphold. His transformation from a gospel artist to a secular figure has left some with the belief that he has abandoned his faith in pursuit of a lifestyle centered around drinking and merriment.
