Alex Apoko, better known by his stage name Ringtone Apoko, asserts that Bahati must remove any references to secular music if he wishes to return to the gospel music business.

The entrepreneur claims that they don't want the former gospel performer to return to the gospel sector in an interview with YouTuber Mungai Eve on her channel.

He claims that if the EMB CEO wants to return to the gospel, he should reject secularism, remove all previously released non-secular music, and delete his social media accounts so that he may start over.

This is after Eve asked him,  "Tuliona kuwa bahati aliombewa pale na ikasemekana kua arudi gospel, wewe kama chairman wa gospel uko tayari?"

" Gospel hamtaki, mpaka afanye vitu kadhaa; akane secular music, video zote zile ameimba azidelete kwa sababu uwewzi invest kwa kingdom ya God na unatoa vitu kwa shetani ata shetani ataenda kwa Mungu amwauulize mbona mtoto wako anaiba vitu kwangu. Anahitaji kudelete ata channels zote ndo aanze afresh. Mungu atampatia tena watu wapya na pia wale watamfwata kwa iyo safari yake mpya." he continues.

There is a reason why people get baptized for you to be born again that is why he should bury everything and be ready to be born again.

 He says that nowadays his songs are making people want to be drunkards and do evil things.

        "Nyimbo za Bahati zinafanya watu watake kunywa pombe na kufanya usherati."

Mungai continues to tell her opinion on how it seems unfair for him to delete the channels for he started the channels while still in the gospel industry.

The gospel contributes to the comment that Eve said and quotes the Bible to show that it is not unfair;

   "Ata Yesu wakati alikutana na Zakayo, alimwambia vitu vyote ukonavyo, enda uuze na yule mtu ulikua umemwibia  umpatie maratatu saa anafaa kuuza kila kitu arudi kwa Yesu uchi."

"Simply translating to, Even Jesus  when He met Zacchaeus, told him to sell everything that he had and return  thrice to those he had stolen from, so Bahati should sell everything and come to gospel clean." 

He concluded by urging Willy Paul to do the same if he also wants to come back to Gospel.
