Bahati wa Barua na Mama, then Mtoto wa Diana it became, on blogs as Baha ventured into the volatile waters of secular music like his early days nemesis, Willy Paul.

Bahati’s life story reflects the aspirations of any child growing up in a tough world with nothing but hope that one day things will be better, as his mother passed away when he was young.

His breakthrough moment when he won then prestigious award, as New Gospel Artist of the Year at the 2013 Groove Awards. The event was a live broadcast to millions of viewers.

Following his newly found success, he proceeded further to collaborate with Mr. Seed on “Wangu.”

This was successfully followed with another hit song, “Mama” which topped the charts.

Inspired by his life experiences, Bahati then released his all time emotional song “Machozi.”

With the fall of Groove Awards, the “Gospel music industry” steadily collapsed as if it’s foundation was erected on quick sand. Pozze went rogue and started doing what they call secular music but music is music!

Soon after, Bahati followed suit and he later revealed that he had to distance himself from the “Gospel music industry” due to years of conflict and in fights within their own created circles.

He also mentioned that he had made the decision to no longer identify solely as a gospel musician.

He clarified that he has not broken his relationship with God and still considers himself to be a faithful believer.

However, he pointed out that the same God who blesses mainstream artists like Sauti Sol, Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy, and even Chris Brown, is the same God who blesses gospel artists.

He shared that he had been facing numerous challenges in the “gospel industry” even before he made the decision to leave.

Although he did not mention any specific names, he explained that certain individuals within the industry had mistreated him.

Despite not having done anything to them, he felt that they were rooting for his failure; he continues to survive and soar.

Bahati in his latest song alongside DK Kwenye Beat, whose career was greatly affected by s3x scandals allegations years back says, he’s stopped smoking mavela which is basically weed and mabebe to mean numerous women.

This comes days after fans told him, “Bahati Wa Barua before Marua” was a beast musically, insinuating that after marriage and his switch to secular music, he’d lost his mojo musically!
