Bahati Explains Why He Quit Singing Gospel Music

Kevin Bahati addressed concerns that he was no longer a gospel musician in Kenya.

Since 2020, the Mathare MP aspirant has been releasing secular songs and doing collabos with secular artistes too.

Speaking in an interview with MC Jessy he said,

“I have Christ in my heart and believe in God and he’s the reason I’m at the top, I cannot leave Christ. That’s the most important thing, it’s not the gospel industry. It [gospel industry is rotten]…story for another day.”

He added,

“I prayed before I wrote Wanani, Missing You (secular songs). I was fought a lot in the gospel industry and I knew I was not doing the gospel for the people.”

The father of four went ahead to say that he will still be dropping gospel hits.

“When I am doing a gospel song I’ll do it for God, not for the industry. I just separated myself from the gospel industry for a while but I’m in Christ. The Lord is my personal saviour,” he said.

“The gospel industry is full of hypocrites and this has been evident severally where they desert their own especially at the hour of need. Also, most big wigs have been accused of not supporting their own.”

“I think what God is doing at the moment, he has given me a moment to feed certain people sababu hawa watu wanahitaji kuskiza love songs. Wanani is the most played song right now in the country its listened to by both secular and gospel supporters because I’m still a son of Christ,” Bahati stated.
