“We Cannot Run The Gospel Ministry Like Jicho Pevu…. !” Eric Omondi Takes Shots At Bahati.
A few days ago, Bahati released a music video which was intended to highlight the plight of Denno, a fellow gospel artist who was allegedly ripped off the loyalties from a song he did with Daddy Owen.
Kenyans came forth,shooting from the hip,moved by the pitiful song attacking Daddy Owen for fleecing a blind guy who is now reported to be living in abject penury. Denno, who was later called by Kiss 100 reported that he had not received any monies from the proceeds of the song “mbona” from Daddy Owen, even with the latter insisting that Denno had been paid all that was owed to him.
Who was fooling who? And why was Bahati- a purported do-gooder caught up in a melee that he was not part of to begin with?
Earlier today, Eric Omondi reprimanded Bahati on social media who he felt was trying to make a name for himself by pulling other people down- The post begun thus:
“..Dear Bahati, when you get to the top by pulling your brother down then yours will be a free fall. You can only make your face brighter by staying in God’s presence like Moses did. You cannot make your candle brighter by putting out your brother’s candle. We cannot build an industry where artists thrive by showing us just how bad others are… “
I tend to agree with Eric’s line of thought, Bahati cannot fully substantiate his claims that Denno got nothing from the said song- Instead of talking to Daddy Owen first, he decided to do a song about it…
Eric went on to write.:
“..We cannot do ministry the same way Muhammad Ali runs Jicho Pevu. By seeking what could be dirty in our brothers and exposing it to the world . We must go the go the christian way, that is Biblical , call your brother and talk to him in private. Mathew 18:15 . We must get back to God! and begin to avoid sideshows…”
I could not agree more on this deliberation- It almost seems as if Bahati was trotting for attention by using Dennoh and being the usual “Cry baby”
Eric finished the post by writing:
“.. and now by the grace placed upon me by God as your big brother in the ministry and industry, I admonish you and plead with you, let it be the last time you write to us a long letter concerning another artist. You make good music, keep doing that and bless the nation , that is your calling- You are a great artist and minister of the gospel.
God bless you.
Eric later pulled down the post Which had been probably drafted by another person before he took it up and posted it. We however took screengrabs cus we fast like that and you can see the snippet below.
I agree with Eric (or whoever wrote that)
