Bahati Calls Out Ziki Distributors Over Song Removal

Kenyan musician Bahati is publicly calling out his distribution company, Ziki Distributors, after a song he collaborated on with fellow artist Mr. Seed was removed from YouTube.

Bahati expressed his frustration, insisting he is not seeking publicity but rather advocating for fair treatment of artists by distribution companies. He stated, 'I have grown past that stage,' emphasizing the need for better protections for artists' rights and interests. Mr. Seed has also questioned the removal of the song, leaving fans confused about the circumstances surrounding its deletion.

Bahati, known for his hit songs and vibrant personality, has been a significant figure in the Kenyan music scene. He gained fame with tracks like 'Mapenzi' and has made headlines for his philanthropic efforts and his family life, particularly with his wife, Diana Marua. Mr. Seed, another prominent artist, is recognized for his contributions to the gospel music genre and has a substantial following.

The current situation highlights ongoing concerns within the Kenyan music industry regarding the treatment of artists by distribution companies. Many artists have voiced similar frustrations about their rights and the lack of support from industry stakeholders. Bahati's call for government intervention reflects a broader conversation about the need for legislative measures to protect artists' interests in Kenya.
