Bahati became a multimillionaire in his 20s but life as a kid was quite tough for him as he was brought up in a children’s home in Mathare slums.
The singer in a post on social media advised young people to strike to make it big saying that he had ‘tasted’ both poverty and wealth, nothing that there was nothing good about destitution.
“Dear Fellow Young’ins, I have Tasted both Money and Poverty!…. trust me There’s nothing good about being poor só I urge us all to wake up from our comfort Zones and Chase Our Dreams; Our Dreams Are Valid! 💪,” Bahati wrote.

Baahti grew up at ABC Orphanage in Mathare slums after losing his mum at a young age.
Speaking about the loss, Bahati said he felt like the world had come to an end after the demise of his mum.
His dad was also not well off so they were living from hand to mouth, something that prompted him to leave in a children’s home.
