Bahati & Willy Paul
Remember when we asked if Beef helps the industry grow?
Turudilie hapo kidogo. We quoted Khaligraph Jones and Octopizzo Beef plus Willy Paul and Bahati Beef. So hapo ndio kulikua na Mambo, of course hatujawai kosa jibu
Most of your answers were, "Yes" with reasons like: it helps the industry grow only if the artists know what they're doing. So what is Healthy Beef?
Naambiwa kuna Beef msee anaweza kukulia ngori ikue physical
or decides to attack your colleagues or family. That's unhealthy. Keeping it lyrical is what we need in our industry. Back to business. Pozee & Bahati's beef had gone to an extent of involving families. That was really bad. Pozee took it too personal au niteme jaba? Now, kitu funny ni eti Willy Paul accused Bahati of sabotaging his career by manipulating gospel music platforms hapo around 2017. Na Bahati wa Diana pia claimed Willy Paul was not a genuine gospel artist. Bado hizi reasons zinakaa finyu ama tuseme ni wivu tu?
As if that is not enough, in 2018, tukacheki Pozee akitoka kwa gospel music na Baha pia akatoka na wakaingia Secular wote but at different times.
Pozee accused Bahati of hypocrisy for criticizing his transition na Baha pia aka-accuse Willy of being disloyal. Hii beef ilileta mambo mengi sana, involving Bahati's wife, Diana Marua, to the extent of calling each other names, infront of live camera.
Late last year Willy Paul alijipata kwa mix mbaya at Furaha Fest. He claimed to have been harassed and beaten by Security personnel because alitaka kupanda stage. But delivery nayo alikua nayo. He had an electrifying performance. I guess after years of pain caused by beefs he had, ilibidi ajiite mkutano.
Reflecting to the bad things he did, Willy aliget back to Diana Marua and Bahati. He apologised to what he did and said, "Want Peace, Peace And Love Is What I’m Preaching!"
"Looking back on my experiences with my Brother, I recognize that I have occasionally crossed boundaries. I hold the concept of family, particularly the children, in high regard”
2025 is going to be a busy year if this reconciliation works out because Willy Paul and Bahati are dropping Two New Music Videos tomorrow. Are you ready?
