Bahati is demonstrating his financial might by his extravagance spending. The gospel singer recently set tongues wagging when he spent Kes 270,000 on an engagement ring.
He proposed to his beautiful wife again, he surprised Diana Marua with a new engagement ring during a jump off concert at Thika stadium.
Bahati is set to enroll his first born daughter to a high-end school in Runda. He revealed his plan to send Mueni Bahati to a school of international standards on his reality show ‘Being Bahati’.
The singer said his daughter would join Potterhouse school, where parents part with up to Kes 160,000 per term (school fees plus other requirements).
Gospel singer Bahati proposed to his beautiful wife again, he surprised Diana Marua with a new engagement ring during a jump off concert at Thika stadium.
Bahati’s proposal raised eyebrows because he is already a married man, he married his wife Diana Marua in a low key traditional wedding that was held in Nairobi on 20th October 2017.
Bahati however explains that he decided to propose to his wife again since nobody saw or heard about his first marriage proposal.
“Everyone knows that Diana and I are an item. Everyone knows that she is my one and only but never has anyone heard or seen me propose to her, something I consider a very important process. A man can do a traditional wedding but one needs to put a ring on it. We are taking a step at a time,” said Bahati during an interview with Pulse.
Such a pricey ring
Apparently Bahati forked out a whopping Kes 270,000 to buy the engagement ring that is on the second finger on Diana Marua’s left hand.

The gospel singer confirmed spending the amount on the ring in a post on social media. He however pulled down the post after netizens criticized him for spending so much on a ring.
Should gospel artistes perform at nightclubs or not? This is the question that has sparked a heated debate on social media after photos of Bahati performing for women dressed in skimpy outfits surfaced online.
Gospel artistes have always come under sharp criticisms whenever they are seen performing at nightclubs. Willy Paul in particular has a knack of making appearances at nightclubs.
Some argue that gospel musicians perform at nightclubs because their music is meant to inspire revelers to somehow change and give their lives to Christ.
Ratchet performance
Bahati’s performance at a nightclub could be easily mistaken for a scene at Sabina Joy, if you get the drift. Dancers twerked on stage as the gospel singer and his cronies performed.
Some people condemned Bahati when the photos from his club performance leaked online, whereas others simply defended the singer.

Publicity stunt
Bahati also addressed claims that the whole marriage proposal at Thika municipal stadium was stage-managed, he clarified that Diana didn’t know he was going to propose to her again.
“It is funny how some people make fun out of everything. I wasn’t stage-managing this. This was to tell Diana before the whole world that I am all hers and that I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I wanted to clear doubts that we are just dating,” said Bahati.

The ring is beautiful
Diana Marua took to social media to flaunt her new engagement ring after her husband went down on his knee to ask for her hand in marriage again.
“My 2019!!!! THANK YOU GOD FOR THIS MAN @BAHATIKENYA , THE ONE YOU CHOSE FOR ME ✨ TODAY WILL FOREVER BE IN MY HEART. THE RING ?IS BEAUTIFUL ? I LOVE YOU @BAHATIKENYA ❤️ 01.01.2019 ??,” wrote Diana Marua.

Gospel singer Hope Kid has spoken his mind about Willy Paul singing secular and gospel songs at the same time. Speaking during an interview with Mzazi Willy Tuva on Mambo Mseto, Hope Kid refused to refer Willy Paul as a gospel singer saying that he was in between.
“Nachukulia Willy Paul kama msanii, Pozee ni msanii. If he decides today aimbe wimbo inasifu Yesu kabisa ataimba, kesho akiamua aimbe mapenzi ataimba. Na Kenyans the funny thing he is the only person tumekubali akiwa hivyo, and we can’t fight it. As in he is not cold, he is not hot, yeye ni muwarm. Ako hapo katikati. Mimi siwezi sema Pozee ni msanii wa gospel ama secular, nimemuweka tu msanii generally. He can do what he wants because he gets support from every side. Ukikuja kwa kanisa tunapenda Willy tunasema ni wetu, ukipatana na Timmy anasema Willy ni wetu nyi ndo munataka kumchukua,” said Hope Kid.
Message to Pozee
Asked what he would tell Willy Paul if he was listening to him, Hope Kid said that his request and that of many other people is to see Willy Paul go back to singing true gospel songs like ‘Sitolia’.
“The reason why God alishine the light upon your life is because he saw something in you na aliashine hiyo light ukifanya kazi yake, sio hii kazi ingine. So if you can go back to the first love, sisi kama Wakristo utuimbie wimbo ingine kama sitolia tutashukuru sana. Hio ni kilio ya every Christian. So mimi naambia tu Pozee kindugu, Pozee, imba zile nyimbo za Yesu zile zenyewe,” said Hope Kid.
Message to Bahati
Hope Kid also advised Willy Paul and Bahati to stop begging for collaborations from Tanzanian musicians;
“Be wise, when Tanzanians were invading Kenyan market, they didn’t need any Kenyan artiste. So when we want to invade theirs we want to work with them. We are playing ourselves, we have everything it takes.”
Bahati started his own reality show dubbed ‘Being Bahati’ which first aired on NTV on August 19th 2018. The show stars Bahati, his wife Diana Marua and other people involved in the singer’s life.
‘Being Bahati’ has been a success judging from the accolade it has received so far and reactions it generates online, the show has been nominated for Best TV show in Kenya in Kalasha Awards 2018.

Rivalry reignited
Willy Paul and Bahati have always competed in as far as music is concerned. The two gospel singers are about to take their rivalry to the next level after Willy Paul announced the coming of his own reality TV show.
The singer explains that the drama at his Syokimau residence was part of his reality show. Willy caused a stir when he was seen slapping a woman in a video that went viral on social media.
Willy’s announcement that he was starting his own reality show was however not well received by Kenyans on social media. The singer was trolled for copying Bahati when he made the announcement in a video posted online.
Bahati, his wife Diana Marua and their baby Heaven traveled to Makueni county to visit relatives. The gospel singer took his wife and daughter to meet his 101 year old grandpa.
Bahati tagged along film crew that shoots ‘Being Bahati’ reality show on his trip to Makueni. The film crew documented hard life that Bahati’s relatives live in Ukambani.

Furnished house
While Diana was away, Bahati was working tirelessly to furnish their home. The singer went on a mission to buy everything that would make their home look just perfect.
Bahati blindfolded his wife before he walked her into the new furnished house. Diana couldn’t help but cry when she saw how her husband had transformed their home into a little palace.

Bahati came under heavy criticisms from netizens after he shared a photo which he posed with his wife. Trolls called out the singer for sagging his trouser and also threw shades at Diana Marua whom they referred as ‘sugar mummy’.
Bahati and Diana Marua
Diana Marua has been a victim of cyber bullying ever since her age was revealed, she is six years older than Bahati and for this reason some people disapprove of her dating a younger man.
Take care of your words
Diana Marua appears to be taking subliminal shots at her critics in a subsequent post on IG following the trolls. The mother of one warns people to mind what they say.
“✨Take care of your thoughts when you’re alone and take care of your words when you’re with people ✨” wrote Diana Marua.

Metamorphosis
NTV is undergoing a radical transformation since the exit of multiple journalists. The station has been hiring new talent with the aim of giving viewers new captivating content.
Grace Msalame was recently hired by NTV to host a new lifestyle show. The station also hired celebrated journalist Olive Burrows after Victoria Rubadiri’s exit.
Gospel musicians, especially the married ones, have a reputation to uphold. Even so, they are only human and can sometimes slip like Bahati did.
The father of two was caught admiring Instagram video of a mysterious woman showing off her gigantic booty while she laid in bed nearly naked.
The video was posted on Phoina Tasho’s Instagram account. The caption indicates that the woman who was showing off her booty is Judy Jay, a former Nairobi Diaries actress, even though her face is not visible.
Impressed
Bahati was obviously impressed with the woman’s massive buttocks and he decided to like the video leaving behind a trace of his thirst.
Bahati’s firstborn daughter Mueni Bahati has fallen ill again. It’s the second time in a short period that the kid has become sick again.
Mueni fell sick just a while back after her young sister Heaven Bahati was discharged from hospital. It was not clear what was ailing the kid but sure it was a hard time for Bahati whose daughters fell ill within a short interval.

Keep fighting baby
Mueni’s mother Yvette Obura broke news about her daughter falling ill on social media on Wednesday July 4th. Her words seem to indicate that Mueni is in a critical condition.
“Keep Fighting Baby I Know God Got you and I Got you too, You’ll will be well babyy???…” Wrote Yvette Obura.
Bahati’s firstborn daughter Mueni Bahati is obviously unaware of the rivalry between her father and Willy Paul, the kid is a fan of Pozze.
Mueni Bahati loves Willy Paul’s new song ‘Njiwa’ with Tanzanian songbird Nandy. The kid professes her love for the song in a clip posted on social media.
“Mama nkudownlodie nini?” Bahati’s baby mama Yvette Obura is heard asking her daughter.
“Njiwa njiwa,” Mueni Bahati replies.
Say hi to your dad
Willy Paul took to social media and shared the video showing Mueni Bahati confessing she loves his song. Pozze asks Mueni to say hi to Bahati in the video caption.
“Thank you mueni bahati for supporting ur favorite…. say a big hi to ur father @bahatikenya and thank him for bringing u up so well.. #njiwa…” Wrote Willy Paul.
L-Jay Maasai first fell out with Bahati sometimes in 2015. He called Bahati out for engaging in silly sideshows with Willy Paul instead of spreading the gospel.
In February 2017, L-Jay was once gain involved in a public spat with Bahati. He clashed with Bahati over a controversial apology Bahati made on behalf of all gospel singer.
Speaking to Biggest Kaka, L-Jay explains his beef with Bahati flared when the ‘Ndogo Ndogo’ hit maker apologize on behalf of gospel artists for dropping secular-ish songs.
“Mahali nlirealize ni time fulani alikua anapologize to people on behalf of gospel artists. So me my question was, yeye ndo amekosea. Mimi personally sikufeel like nko na any issue sijakosea anything. Yeye ndo aliimba na secular artists, yeye ndo alifanya nini na nini…whatever he had done. So what right does he have to speak on behalf of all gospel artists?” L-Jay Maasai explained.
Other celebs reacted
In the controversial apology, Bahati put up a poster with secular artistes including Sautisol, Nyashinski and Collo as nominees of Groove awards’ Male Artistes Of The Year.
Bahati’s post rattled several musicians, Sauti Sol’s Bien was quick to fire back saying Bahati shouldn’t drag names of all gospel artistes in his publicity stunts.
Bahati had a serious crush on Elizabeth Michael Lulu back then when he was still single. The gospel singer expressed interest to marry Lulu in a 2016 interview with Mzazi Willy Tuva.
“Nikiweza mpata Lulu Elizabeth Michael nitatulia kabisaaaaa , mtaacha kusikia nikiitwa single boy, Millard Ayo akileta story za Bongo mwambieni nimemtuma apeleke hizi habari kwa Elizabeth Michael,” Bahati said during the interview with Tuva.
Bahati touched down in Dar es Salaam a few days ago to record a collabo with Wasafi Record’s Mbosso. The Kenyan singer narrated to Mbosso how Elizabeth Michael Lulu stood him up in 2016.
Bahati and Mbosso
Rejection
For starters, Bahati traveled to Tanzania sometimes in 2016 to convince Lulu to feature in his song ‘Maria’. No amount of persuasion would convince Lulu to meet Bahati, he stayed in a hotel in Dar for two days trying to call Lulu who was obviously ignoring him.
Bahati said he lost money because Lulu failed to meet him. Eventually he settled for Jokate Mwegelo who featured as the main video vixen in his video after Lulu stood him up.
The guy at the center the DNA drama was said to be Diana’s ex. Silas Imbaga reportedly claimed that Heaven was his daughter and even dared Bahati to carry out the DNA test to prove it.
Not me!
Silas Imbaga however confirmed to Heads Up that he didn’t order the paternity test as claimed. He however encouraged anyone with claims over baby Heaven to order the DNA.
“Yes Diana is my ex-girlfriend but I did not demand DNA test. But the person doubting whether the child is his should go ahead and do the test,” Silas Imbaga said.
Bahati and his baby mama Yvette Obura seems to be getting on each other’s good side. The two have clashed before in the past but now there seems to be a silver lining in their relationship.
Bahati and his baby mama have been on opposite ends for quite a while. At one point Yvette took subliminal shots at Bahati for being absence in their daughter’s life.
Bahati jotted down a touching message to Yvette on Mothers’ Day. The gospel singer told her baby mama that he respects her for being the mother of his firstborn.
Yvette Obura with her daughter Mueni Bahati
“Happy Mother’s Day Mama Mueni. I Respect you as the Mother to my First Born Daughter @Mueni_Bahati,” wrote Bahati.
Yvette also took to social media to commend her baby daddy on acquiring a new van. Bahati bought the van for his record label EMB Records ahead of a planned tour to different towns in Kenya.
“When i talk of God’s blessings, i see that in you …. proud of you baba mueni?,” wrote Yvette Obura.
