Former gospel artist Bahati has drawn the interest of netizens after proudly showcasing bundles of cash on his Instagram account. The video, which features Bahati displaying wads of money wrapped in polythene bags, quickly went viral, sparking a heated debate among his followers.
The artist hinted at a significant event scheduled for February 10th, promising a massive unveiling.
Instead of generating excitement, Bahati’s display of wealth has led to widespread criticism, with many questioning the wisdom of such a public demonstration during economically challenging times.
Netizens, expressing their disapproval, voiced concerns about the potential risks associated with flaunting large sums of money, particularly in a country grappling with a tough economic climate and escalating standards of living.
Some argue that Bahati’s actions make him an easy target for criminals, such as muggers, who might perceive him as a lucrative opportunity.
Bahati’s decision to showcase his wealth also drew comparisons to other influencers and creatives who have similarly flaunted money in the past.
The likes of Krg, Eric Omondi, and Mulamwah have all faced scrutiny for their public displays of affluence, contributing to a growing sentiment against such behavior.
Critics argue that in a society where financial disparities are glaring, public figures should exercise caution when flaunting their wealth.
Many netizens have began speculating the source of the money.
