Size 8, Bobby Mapesa and Other Celebrities Whose Crossover To Gospel Surprised Everyone (Photos)

Secular artistes don’t usually openly talk about their faith in God, but there are those have who not only talked about it but have gone the whole 9 yards and have gotten saved.

Below are some celebrities who have gotten saved in recent times.

1.Bobby Mapesa

Moses Odoma was probably one of the raunchiest lyricists in the country with songs like ’Kamoja Tu’ and ‘Naskia Utamu’ propelling him into nationwide fame.

So it became a bit of a shock when he said that he had gotten saved on his first visit to achurch after 11 years.

A move that was viewed by a few people as a publicity stunt, but Booby maintains that his decision to get saved is genuine and he will remain steadfast in his salvation .he went on to add that he has forgiven those who criticize his move as a publicity stunt.

2.Size 8

Just like Bobby Mapesa, Size 8’s move the gospel industry was unexpected since she was known for some of the most explicit not forgetting titillating dances this country has ever seem. To summarize it, Size 8 was quite the wild child.

But no one is beyond salvation and 3 years on, Size 8 has managed to maintain her salivation and even make money out of it by releasing some sizzling gospel hits like ‘Afadhali Yesu’ and ‘Jemedari’

Speaking during an interview on Standard Size 8 described ‘salvation as the best thing that ever happened to her.’ Before revealing that her decision to get saved wasn’t easy “When I left the secular world, I was so sure that I had made a suicidal move and I left it all to Jesus. It was a lucrative business back then, but I knew that God would bless me, eventually, according to his word.”

And blessing he did!

3.Bamboo

Bamboo’s last hurrah in the secular industry was marked by this message he shared on Facebook “Think I’m done with secular music. On with the Lord’s purpose, done with the world circus. Who cares what they’ll say? You die alone anyway. ‪#‎purposedrivenmusic”

His transformation was met with a lot of cynicism as he had tried salvation once and it did not work out too well and he soon backslid. The doubting Debbies and Negative Nancy’s had a field day implying that he may be doing this as a publicity stunt .But he revealed that he was not doing Gospel for the money but to spread the word

4. Lady Bee

She is another bad girl gone good who revoked her hedonistic ways for the straight and narrow path.

Just like Size 8 Lady Bee was known for her sexy and seductive dance routines.

While many celebrated her over the new state of affairs, some members of Team Mafisi were left lamenting heavily.

But they got in with the program once they realised that the former Calif Records Beauty was serious about her salvation.

5. Q-Tasi

I will be the first to admit that not much has been heard from Q-Tasi since he moved to Gospel but the last time we spoke to him, the singer revealed that he got saved after reflecting on his life and coming to the conclusion that he needed to get his life in check and the only solution was to get saved.
