In the previous years, beef between the two wonder kids; Willy Paul and Bahati in the gospel music industry has been perpetuated by the media for the sake of getting traction and Willy Paul decided to be the bigger guy and admitted that he even doesn’t know what started the beef between them and he is willing to do whatever it takes to salvage or better yet rekindle the friendship he used to have with Bahati even long before the fame and fortune, he has even apologized and said that he is not perfect, not any single soul is and he is even willing to do a collabo with ‘Mtoto wa Mama’.
This is the lengthy letter Willy Paul wrote specifically to Bahati. I hope Bahati finds it in his heart to let bygones be bygones because Willy Paul is ready and determined to have his friend back.
Today I woke up with my heart feeling so heavy….. feeling that there’s something missing…. I want to talk about a brother that I’ve not been in good terms with, a brother who was a real brother before all the fame… I know many might hate me because they were made to believe that I stole which was never the case, so today I stand here to make peace and to ask anyone who I might have offended to forgive me… I am only human.. no man is perfect…. man is to error and so am I. First and foremost, I really want to be in good terms with my brother @bahatikenya I want us to do a clean ministry, no competition no nothing…. if possible, a collaboration with @bahatikenya would really show unity among our followers and listeners.. as we speak our people are divided like the secular GULLYSIDE AND GAZA and it’s not supposed to be like that. We are supposed to be one.. so my brother @bahatikenya let’s come together… put our differences aside and join hands in taking our ministries to the next level….. I know men have an ego but I put mine down to bring peace among us….. I remember when we first both won, we were best of friends. I won the male artist 2013 and you won the new artist 2012… and we were both happy… we spent the night at my place with joy in our eyes as brothers … I wonder what happened… am writing this from deep down my heart.. we have given the devil a chance in our lives and that’s why all these is happening… it’s time to chase away the devil… Again, let’s not make it look like a competition coz that’s not what it is… it’s ministry.. and the only way we can do that is by forgiving one another, working together and moving forward… am ready to work with you anytime bro. Let’s make our God happy. He put us here with a purpose… let’s keep the focus.. Baraka..
After the long letter by Willy Paul, he went ahead to sing this song here below which apparently makes sense to the situation between the two talented artistes.
This is what Willy Paul did while you were sleeping.
We are all tired about this petty beef between two great gospel artistes so let’s help them squash it and help each one of them channel all their energy to making great music and you can be a part of it, just use the hashtag(#) #WillyPaulBahatiMarafiki by sharing what these two great artistes have done so far and what they can achieve if they merge forces to make music.
