The recent launch of the highly anticipated “Bahati Empire” reality TV show, featuring Kenyan music sensation Bahati, took an unexpected turn when fellow artist Prezzo fainted during the event. The incident, which occurred on the red carpet, has since sparked a wave of speculation and intrigue, with Bahati jokingly accusing Prezzo of trying to steal the spotlight at the star-studded affair.
The Incident: Fainting at the Launch
Prezzo, a well-known figure in the Kenyan entertainment scene, fainted during a red carpet interview at the “Bahati Empire” show launch. The sudden collapse shocked attendees and briefly overshadowed the excitement surrounding Bahati’s new venture. However, the cause of the fainting was later attributed to exhaustion, with Prezzo revealing that he had been experiencing significant fatigue due to a particularly hectic week.
According to Prezzo, despite being reminded about the event by Bahati, he had forgotten about it amidst his busy schedule. It wasn’t until Bahati’s last-minute call on the day of the launch that Prezzo hurriedly made his way to the event. The rush, combined with the overwhelming schedule, led to his fainting during the interview, a moment that quickly went viral on social media.
Bahati’s Lighthearted Accusations
In a light-hearted response to the incident, Bahati jokingly accused Prezzo of attempting to steal the spotlight at his show’s launch. During a podcast episode on “Syllabus of Life,” Prezzo praised Bahati for his achievements in both music and business, revealing the depth of their long-standing friendship. Despite the close relationship, Bahati couldn’t resist poking fun at his friend’s dramatic moment.
Recalling the incident, Bahati expressed his initial concern over Prezzo’s sudden collapse, but he quickly turned it into a humorous anecdote. “I called you; the Deputy is coming; he has to be welcomed by the President! But the President is fainting! What’s wrong?” Bahati quipped, referring to Prezzo’s popular moniker “President” within the entertainment industry. The joke highlighted the playful dynamic between the two artists and the unexpected nature of the situation.
Prezzo’s Clarification: No Stunt, Just Fatigue
Prezzo, in his defense, refuted any claims that the fainting was a deliberate attempt to overshadow Bahati or create a publicity stunt. He explained that the incident was purely the result of exhaustion, exacerbated by the rush to attend the event after being reminded by Bahati. “It wasn’t because of the Deputy President or any other reason,” Prezzo clarified. “I had simply been running on empty, and it all caught up with me during that red carpet interview.”
Following the incident, Prezzo sought medical attention and was advised to reduce his workload to prevent future occurrences. He emphasized that his commitment to supporting Bahati remained unwavering, despite the unfortunate turn of events at the launch.
A Resolved Incident: Friendship Over Fame
Despite the drama, the incident has since been resolved between the two artists, with no hard feelings on either side. Prezzo’s praise of Bahati on his podcast further underscored the strong bond they share, with both artists reaffirming their mutual respect and support for each other’s careers. Prezzo’s candid acknowledgment of his exhaustion and the need to prioritize his health added a layer of sincerity to the narrative, shifting the focus back to the importance of self-care in the demanding entertainment industry.
In the end, the launch of the “Bahati Empire” show remains a significant milestone in Bahati’s career, with Prezzo’s fainting incident serving as a memorable, albeit unplanned, moment. The humorous exchange between the two artists has added a new chapter to their friendship, one that fans will likely remember for years to come.
