Veteran gospel singer and pastor Faustin Munishi has accepted an apology from fast rising Kenyan performing artiste and MC Hush BK following a dispute over the use and distribution of the viral hit song dubbed Malebo.
In a detailed statement issued on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, Munishi confirmed that Hush BK had issued an apology which he says he has now accepted.
He stated that he has chosen to forgive Hush BK over several issues linked to the handling of the song.
“Cha Msingi ameomba msamaha wenye Neno “Kama nimekosea Munishi Anisamehe.” Nami namsanehe,” Munishi said.
“Utauliza nasamehe Kosa Gani?“
Munishi lists Hush BK’s mistakes
The veteran musician cited concerns including the recording of the track in a studio without his permission, uploading content on YouTube for monetisation purposes, and the use of the song in promotional content on platforms such as TikTok for businesses like car sales and hotels.
“Mimi namsamehe 1) Kuingia studio na kurekodi wimbo wangu bila idhini yangu. 2) Namsamehe kunakili video na kuiweka YouTube kwa lengo la kulipwa pesa,” he stated.
“3) Namsamehe kwa Kosa la kutumia wimbo wangu kutangazia biashara TikTok na mitandao mingine ya kijamii yaani wanatumia sauti na picha wanatangaza magari yanayouzwa au mahoteli na kadhalika kinyume na lengo la wimbo.“
He also raised concerns about what he termed lack of transparency in how the content was distributed across multiple accounts, adding that different pages were used to share versions of the song, including AI-related adaptations.
“4) Namsamehe kwa Kosa la kutokuwa muwazi kwani Hilo toleo la Ai haweki kwenye Account yake TikTok anaweka kwenye account lukuki yaani nyingi,” Munishi added.
Munishi on Hush BK’s apology
Despite outlining the issues, Munishi maintained that he has forgiven Hush BK, saying he (Hush BK) still defends his actions in the apology he issued.
“La mwisho ni kule kutojua makosa yake na ninaona ni kama Bado anajaribu kutetea alichofanya kwamba yeye ana mbinu nzuri zaidi ya kumtafuta Malebo kwa hiyo huko baa na kumbi za starehe ndiko Mahali sahihi pa kumpata Malebo,” he pointed out.
“Tena anadai wimbo wangu kama ulivyokuwa uliweza kubadilisha maisha yake na Sijui kwa nini akadhania akiubadilisha kutumia Ai utakuwa Bora zaidi? Hata hiyo Namsamehe.“
He further noted that while he would have preferred a clear admission and listing of mistakes from Hush BK, he still chose to extend forgiveness following the apology.
“Angetambua makosa yake na ayataje ningeandika Neno Moja tu NAKUSAMEHE. Lakini aliposema Basi kama nimekosea Munishi Anisamehe, imebidi niandike kurasa tatu kutaja makosa yote. HATA HIYO NIMESAMEHE,” Munishi said.
