2 Cents to Jimmy Gait over His ‘Controversial’ 2.5 Million Shilling Video

Last week, Jimmy Gait and Papa Dennis released a video that has been on the lips of many for two weeks straight. The video, Makekes, shot in SA cost a whopping 2.5million shillings and that’s where the bone of contention lies.

Yesterday, Size 8 chimed in declaring that South Africans are more liberal than Kenyan when it comes to shooting their videos. She believes that the message in the song was fine but coming to the video it all depends with the culture and personal beliefs of the people watching, reports Ghetto Radio.

And now, yet another Gospel artiste has decided to voice their opinion over the now controversial video. Silas Mwenda, an award-winning Kenyan artiste living in the diaspora opines;

First and foremost, am the biggest fan of Jimmy Gait and i like his music as my brother and my fellow gospel artiste. Jimmy Gait is among the most creative gospel artiste we have in Kenya, many can bear me witness in that,. He always thinks outside the box, takes risks and sings song sometimes tackling very sensitive matters in our society which many fear to talk about especially in our Kenyan Christian setting. He always churns out surprise music.

In his newly released video Makekes , am sure he was taking risk as usual to introduce something new to us as usual. It might not be a bad style, maybe it’s not common way of doing it to our Kenyan Christians thus it got rejected.

Christianity as a religion just like other religions has its rules, dos and don’ts. I’ve travelled across the world and i can say Kenyan Christians are among the most God fearing, no nonsense and conservative people I have ever come across, especially when it comes to morality and doctrines.

If any person tries to bring a new gospel doctrine, style either in form of WORD or ART different from the common one people trash it as quick as possible. Kenyan Christians seems to be very serious with God so much, knows there rights and are never ready to compromise. That’s why people have been raising eyebrows on a lot stuff happening in the gospel industry lately.

My advice to all Kenyan gospel artiste both known and unknown; There is no PROFFESOR in God’s work, we are all servants and learning every day, we are human and bound to do mistakes here and there,. As you, continue to pray to God to give you wisdom to serve His people also kindly try and have a mentor next to you, a mature person in things of God whom you can ask for an advise on a thing before you act or speak it in public because when one Artiste is found in any kind of fault, the entire gospel fraternity is found in Fault.
