Embattled gospel kid Bahati has finally come out of his cocoon with a brand new jam dubbed ‘Itakua Sawa’. Bahati, who had gone MIA both physically and on social media after it was alleged that a number of fellow gospel artists were plotting for his fall, made a gallant entry back to the game with a brand new release that was followed by a lengthy ‘Barua’ he published on his social media accounts.
The star revealed that even in his silence, the perpetrators of all atrocities planned against him did not rest as they dragged in his adopted kids in the whole mix up to bring him down.
In his latest Barua, Bahati delved more into his sad and difficult past and said how much it helped him become the man he is today, a man willing to help his people with the little he has. However, his enemies used his generosity to fight him claiming the adoptions were publicity stunts in the first place and have been doing everything to bring apart his young family.
‘’My hard life taught me sharing, giving even when it's not enough. But hurts to see it getting twisted every time God sends me to help the people He's put into my life.
Yes I have learned to be quiet,God told me Son be Still and focus on what I called you to do, But am human too. I chose my silence when I heard Morgan ask me "Daddy Mbona wanasema sisi sio watoto wako???" For a moment I shed a tear in front of my son thinking is it really worth doing all I do???
I know many of you here are parents kindly tell me this... Is it really worth committing your Lifetime to adopt a child to Seek Sympathy??? Is it really worth paying all this school fees, Medical fee & upkeep because of a name???
Why then do they go to an extent of using my innocent kids as a way of bringing me down??? Only I and my 3 Angels know how we survive.
They are the only people who can tell you Bahati struggles his level best to make sure there's something on the table. For the last year and a half I have been running a hospital to help parents with kids facing disability around the slums of Kayole but have I ever said it to anyone???
Have I ever screen shot how much I pay the doctors monthly??? Have I ever asked anyone for sponsorship??? Then why is this happening to me??????’’ Read part of his Barua.
Nevertheless, his comeback has been received with mixed reactions by music fans who had totally different views. While other jubilated for his comeback, some felt it was all a well-crafted plan and strategy to hype his latest song ‘Itakua Sawa’.
