Sauti Sol’s Bien-Aime-Baraza took has taken to social media castigating fellow musician Bahati over his claims about the gospel musicians.
Bien took to ranting on Instagram saying: "Bahati go and write songs or rather get good songwriters to work with. DO NOT do music targeting awards. Awards are a by-product of quality. Use this energy to better your musicianship.”
“Also who told you to speak on behalf of Gospel musicians! There are plenty of Gospel artists who are doing God's work with anointing as they should. So stop roping an entire industry into your publicity stunts. It just makes Kenyan musicians in general look bad.” (SIC!)
He brought in the group’s alleged gospel song ‘Kuliko Jana’ saying, “Sautisol didn't sing Kuliko Jana targeting any award. Music from the heart goes to the heart. As musicians our legacy is cast on song not hype. I mean this with love and respect."
Earlier, Bahati stated on Instagram that they (gospel artists) have let down the gospel industry by singing songs that have no gospel content. However, a lot of gospel artists have come out to defend themselves saying that Bahati should speak for himself.
Among these artist is groove award male artist 2015 Ljay Maasai who has dropped harsh comments saying that Bahati should stop these publicity stunts.
