Bahati has explained why his recent music releases have not been about spreading the gospel.

Speaking in an interview with MC Jessy, the controversial singer said he has separated himself from the gospel industry to focus on making love songs. He noted that he has Christ in his heart but the industry is rotten.

“The gospel ni Christ and I have Christ in my heart and believe in God and God is the reason I’m at the top. I cannot leave Christ, that’s the most important,. The gospel industry is rotten…but that’s story for another day,” he said.

Nahati told MC Jessy that he “consulted God” before he composed his recent releases, ‘Wanani’ and ‘Missing You’.

“I prayed before I wrote Wanani, Missing You…nili-consult God sana. I was fought a lot in the gospel industry and I knew I was not doing the gospel for the people. So when I’m doing a gospel song I will do it for God, not for the industry,” stated Bahati.

The EMB Records founder further said that he is still saved.

I just separated myself from the gospel industry for a while but I’m in Christ and the lord is my personal saviour,” said Bahati.
