Why Eric Omondi slapped Bahati during launch

Eric Omondi during Bahati's album launch.

In an open show of defiance and standing with artists, comedian Eric Omondi slapped musician Bahati with Sh200,000 during the launch of his album Love like this. This follows KFCB Boss Dr. Ezekiel Mutua's announcement that they had cancelled a 200k partnership deal with the musician hours before the launch.

In his statement, Dr Mutua had stated, "We have cancelled the over 200 kshs cash and other support in kind to musician Bahati after posting videos which contravened our clean content and partnership policy."
