Allegedly Jimmy gait has been a victim of cyber bullying after he did a cover of the song Hello by Adelle and released on you-tube.
After releasing the song he had an interview with Larry Madowo, the then host of the Trend, from NTV since he was trending at number one on Twitter because of the song.
He was receiving insults and so much hate that he could not even comprehend.
My world had come crashing down and I felt people were unfair to me and this one that they didn’t seem to agree with made them forget all the music I had previously produced, ’’ said the artiste in a 2019.
After the trending of the urban term “sponsor”, referring to a man or woman who finances the extravagant lifestyle of a lover in exchange for sex, Gait then released the track Yesu ndiye sponsor.
The song was met with outrage and backlash from a large section of the public for apparently disrespecting God by comparing him to sponsors. The backlash was reportedly so intense that the gospel singer’s mental health suffered.
Popular gospel singer Jimmy Gait has made his comeback after a four month hiatus, looking to make a hit with the timely track Corona.
The video of the virus- titled song begins by telling the tale of a woman who, conveniently for Gait’s plot, is married to a European man.
The scene introducing the track shows the controversial gospel artiste receiving a call from the woman, named Akinyi. She informs Gait of the death of her husband, a coronavirus victim.
“Corona inatisha ulimwengu, lakini Mungu yupo,” he sings, passionately assuring faithfuls that all will be well with the help of God.
The video features images of the ongoing efforts to deal with the pandemic, including footage from international news reports showing emergency response teams attending to patients.
The artiste is repeatably portrayed as anxiously monitoring the rising death toll and rapid spread of the deadly virus. The track then relays tips of how people can protect themselves from the disease
Netizens were quick to react to the song, with many Youtube commenters applauding the artiste for the production quality and positive message.
