Kenyan gospel artist Kevin Bahati, popularly known as Bahati, has landed in ‘hot soup’ after a photo taken from a recent visit to his grand parents leaked, online.

In the photo, Bahati is pictured in the company of his wife (Diana), child and grand father. At the background is a dilapidated structure, ostensibly belonging to his grandmother.

Bahati who runs a popular show on NTV on Saturdays after 7 pm news has been castigated for failing to put up a better house for his grand parents. In the show, Bahati displays opulence at his own house.

You should look what Akothee built for her parents and think twice. Bahati Kenya (Kevin Bahati) was bragging that he used more than 10M to surprise his wife with a brand new house. 6M by buying Diana (Bahati’s wife) the car of her dreams. He gave Diana’s mother 5M as dowry. Shame on you.”
