Singer Alex Apoko alias Ringtone has alleged that Kevin Kioko popularly known as Bahati is currently battling depression.
Speaking during an interview with a local YouTuber, Ringtone intimated that the ‘Mama’ hitmaker had tried to take poison urging his fans to pray for him.
“Bahati anapitia depression, Bahati hataki kukubali alipoteza kiti, mara kama mbili Diana amenipigia kuniambia Bahati anataka kukunywa sumu, nikaenda nikamsaidia,”the controversial singer said.
This loosely translates to: “Bahati is going through depression, he does not want to accept that he lost the Mathare parliamentary seat, his wife Diana has called me twice to inform me that he (Bahati) wants to take poison, I always rush to help.”
Bahati, wife go missing
Bahati and his wife have been missing online for the past few weeks, leaving their followers worried about their whereabouts.
Diana spoke last after her baby shower, while Bahati stopped posting after his failed attempt for the Mathare parliamentary seat.
Bahati who used to post updates about his life on social media raised eyebrows among his fans and followers after deleting more than 1000 posts on his profile.
The musician made the unexpected move on Wednesday, September 28, 2022, without providing any reason, prompting his fans to make assumptions.
Since the move, fans worry that they might be in real trouble while others think that these two might be clout chasing in preparation for a new song.
“Unajua Bahati ni mtoto wa Diana, amekuwa na kazi mingi ya kumsaidia, Bahati ako depressed lakini najua atatoboa.” Ringtone said.
“Ambieni Bahati wakenya hawakuwa wanampenda kwa sababu ya siasa, wanampenda kwa sababu ya muziki, aendelee kurelease muziki.”he added.
