“I have never left God”, Bahati insists, despite switch to secular music

Speaking on Radio Citizen’s Mambo Mseto show, singer turned politician Bahati, has spoken about his relationship with God and his music.

The artist has insisted that he is not a secular artist, ironically after releasing several secular singles, also emphasizing on the fact that he does not have any intention of profiting from gospel music, which is baffling.

I think for me I can still call myself a gospel artist but I sing gospel when I want to express myself to God, I don’t want to do gospel music as a business,”

Bahati has said that his songs are not vulgar, consequently, he can not be described as a secular artist. Describing his songs as ‘love songs’ that people in church also need to hear, the ‘mama’ crooner has also added that his goal is to only be an entertainer.

So I just do good love songs also because you know even in our weddings in church we need entertaining music. I cannot call myself a secular artist because secular is not me, I’m not vulgar, I’m not,”

I promised God that I will never leave him, and he knows. I have never left God, you know everything I have is from God,”

His performance for the Jubilee Party in 2016 was the biggest breakthrough of his career, according to him.

This marks one of his few public appearances since his humiliating defeat in the just concluded general elections.
