Bahati officially shuts down EMB record label, he explains why<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, when Bahati opened EMB Records, it was shrouded in the cloud of controversy as a foreign-based Kenyan businessman accused Bahati of conning him. It was alleged that this was how he got his seed funding. Add to that the fact that Bahati&#8217;s artists have all left EMB Records and accused him of unscrupulous business practices. Yes, Bahati was signing his artists on virtual slave contracts that would span 10 years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/Screenshot-2020-04-20-at-11.54.10.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-131059 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/Screenshot-2020-04-20-at-11.54.10.jpg\" alt=\"Bahati\" width=\"598\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/Screenshot-2020-04-20-at-11.54.10.jpg 598w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/Screenshot-2020-04-20-at-11.54.10-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008000\"><a style=\"color: #008000\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/meeting-of-minds-why-bahati-is-the-6ix9ine-of-kenyan-music\/\">Meeting of minds: Why Bahati is the 6ix9ine of Kenyan music<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>And although everything we have heard about EMB Records is a problem, the one good thing that came out of Bahati&#8217;s establishing EMB Records was the fact that Kenya had another record label that would take risks on young unknown talent.<\/p>\n<p>That alone was the saving grace Eastlands Most Beloved Records.<\/p>\n<p>And it is a powerful factor because one of the biggest complaints Kenyan youth have is the fact that there are limited facilities and the owners of these facilities do not take risks on them.
