Popular Kamba musician Jackson Mutinda Masekete has announced his decision to get saved, marking a significant shift in his life and career.
The emotional declaration came during a recent church service at Prophet Jackson Mwololo’s PHD Church in Kware, Pipeline, Nairobi.
Masekete, widely known for his vibrant Kamba secular hits and popular for being at the center of controversies, took to the pulpit to share his spiritual awakening, stating that he had experienced a divine calling that led him to abandon his past ways of alcoholism and drug abuse and dedicate his life to serving God.
“Nasikia nataka kumrudia mungu. Yaani hata nikiombewa hapa, hakuna shida Bora tu nimrudie mungu. Kama hapa kuna mlevi, hakuna mlevi zaidi yangu, kama nikunywa nimekunya, kama ni kuchonga nimechonga. Chenye sijai tumia ni bangi, nilivuta siku moja nikala chakula kingi,” Masekete made a confession.
“Kabla sijaperform Kama inawezekama, si uniombee, niokoke hata mimi,” he proclaimed before a congregation that erupted in applause and praise.
Prophet Jackson Mwololo, the leader of PHD Church, welcomed Masekete’s decision and prayed for him, urging the musician to use his talent to spread the gospel while terming his decision a ‘big miracle’.
“That’s the big miracle ambayo imefanyika kwa siku Ya leo katika madhabau haya”, the prophet declared.
Masekete’s decision has sparked widespread reactions, especially among his fans, many of whom expressed support for his newfound faith. Others were eager to see if he would transition into gospel music, following in the footsteps of other artists who have embraced Christianity.
As the news spreads, all eyes are now on Masekete to see how his musical journey will evolve in this new chapter of his life.
