Musician Kevin Bahati is on the receiving end after mourning the sudden demise of gengetone star Shalkido with a screenshot of their private chats.
Bahati faced Backlash after fans accused him of ignoring Shalkido when he reached out to beg for a collabo –only for him to post the conversation when Shalkido had passed away.
In the chat, it’s clear that Shalkido never got a response from Bahati.
However, in his caption, Bahati says that his Management reached out to Shalkido and they had even planned to hit the studio this week for the said collaboration.
“#RIPSHALKIDO 🕊🕊🕊 You had Just Talked to My Management on our Collabo na Mkapanga Tuingie Studio this Coming Week🥹🥹🥹 Rest Well Young King Tutaonana Baadae,” Bahati shared.
Faans and a section of his followers have refused to buy the explanation, and now they are calling him out with clout-chasing allegations.
Reactions from Fans
Silver_Mistarish: Hii post iendane na screenshot ya hapo mahali huyo manager alipanga session na kijanaa.. Otherwise, making the death ya shalkido about you na uongo kama hizi is low of you, mzee
Looks_Empire254: Don’t act like you had any conversations just coz he can’t speak for himself anymore, clearly ulimlenga but now that he is no more you had to rush to your DMs to check if he ever reached out and pull out screenshots. Not cool man, let the dead rest.
Another said: Date 18 …..no response?? Then you are posting 😢
Another one added: Uongoo,,shame on your management for not responding back to him,,fake condolences,,unapost for likes, unnecessary self importance, kwenda.
Another user: Wehh Enda na huko ..unataka kutuonyesha vile you were concerned but time he was alive you didn’t give a F” ishia btw na collabo zako ..I feel so sad for Shalkido 😢😢RIP
Another comment: Sasa you never responded then , why are you now trying to force closure? 😢
Another fans said: Lakini my friend you lack kitu inaitwa emotional intelligence. Get a manager/adviser wa PR. You always mess up unintentionally.
Another fans added: Hangekuwa amekufa would you have posted this. Why looking for cheap Clout when something happens.
Shalkido’s Death
Gengetone artist Shalkido, best known for his role in the popular group Sailors Gang, tragically passed away following a grisly road accident on Sunday.
Shalkido succumbed to his injuries hours after being declared brain dead by doctors at Kenyatta University Hospital, where he had been admitted to the ICU.
According to earlier statements by TV host Obinna, the artist was involved in a hit-and-run accident that left him with severe head injuries, internal bleeding, and a broken bone.
The accident occurred just as Shalkido, a father of one, was working to rebuild his music career after a challenging period. Known for his vibrant energy and lyrical flow, Shalkido had recently been making efforts to get his life and artistry back on track before the tragedy struck.
