Bahati explains his absence
The singer described the past few weeks as a busy season in his life, adding that he had not planned to miss such an important milestone. He shared an emotional message dedicated to his son while acknowledging that balancing family and work can sometimes be difficult.
“It has been a busy season for me, and I can’t believe I missed this boy’s seventh birthday photoshoot and celebration. But above all, you know Daddy loves you, and he is out here trying to get you a better life,” Bahati wrote.
Although he was not physically present during the celebration, he used the opportunity to reassure his son that his absence was not a sign of neglect.
A special message to Diana Marua

“Thank you, Mama watoto, for making our son’s birthday memorable despite my absence. You are amazing,” he said.

Birthday blessings for Majesty
Bahati concluded his message by sharing a prayer for his son as he marked another year.
