Gospel singer Ringtone Apoko has called out Bahati after he posted a video, smoking cigar. 

According to Ringtone, the behaviour that Bahati portrayed is uncalled for, given that he is a gospel musician.

"From a gospel singer to a drug addict. Anyways, I am in control of gospel music. Everything is OK we are releasing gospel hit after hit.

Actually, Fagia is doing well on YouTube and Media. Those who are in love with God, let us continue," wrote Ringtone

Bahati's has portrayed this new character ahead of the release of his new song.

Bahati warned that the song, dubbed 'Love like this', is not for kids under 18 years of age.

Before announcing the release of the song, Bahati had raised eyebrows after taking a break from social media, to think about his death.

"I will be Taking Some time Off - Social Media Just to Reflect on My Life: But I Would Like to Leave You With Something to Reflect on ... Love & Death! It's always hard to think About this but if God Decides You will Die today;

For How Long Will the Person You Love Mourn You... Cry for You or they Will immediately Replace Your Love for Someone Else!!!," Bahati wrote.

Many fans said that he was just seeking attention before releasing a new song.
