Stephen Kasolo, a well-known Kamba gospel singer, has recently faced a difficult period marked by legal issues and illness. Having just been released from remand prison, Kasolo revealed to his fans that he has been battling a mysterious illness for nearly three weeks, leaving him unable to work or carry on with his usual activities.
In a series of heartfelt posts on social media, Kasolo shared that he has been in pain and called upon God for healing. He expressed faith in divine intervention, praying for strength and a testimony of healing. “I believe in healing. God heal me so that I can serve You. Give me a testimony so that I can stand again and declare that I was healed,” he wrote. His emotional posts sparked a wave of responses from fans and followers, with many sending him well-wishes and prayers for a full recovery.
Kasolo later updated his followers, saying that his condition had improved and that he had received medical treatment. He thanked those who reached out to support him during the trying time, including his wife Grace and close friends. Despite the concern from many of his supporters, not everyone was convinced by his claims. Some critics accused the singer of trying to gain sympathy amid his ongoing legal troubles, with a few suggesting that his illness might be exaggerated or even fabricated to sway public opinion.
Comments on social media ranged from messages of encouragement to outright skepticism. While some followers urged him to remain strong and assured him of their prayers, others questioned the authenticity of his sickness and pointed to past controversies as a reason for their doubt.
Kasolo’s recent challenges began with his arrest following accusations of cyberbullying. Fellow gospel artist Stella Mengele filed a complaint against him, alleging that he had damaged her reputation through public shaming. The incident escalated when Mengele emotionally recounted her experiences during a live broadcast, saying the situation had affected her ability to work. She shared that people had been urging her to withdraw the charges, but she felt deeply hurt and wanted accountability.
The dispute reportedly led to a confrontation at the police station, where Mengele questioned Kasolo directly about his actions. After spending time in remand, Kasolo was released, though he stated the case remains ongoing. He has asked fans to avoid making jokes or insensitive remarks about the matter.
This is not the first time Kasolo has been at the center of controversy. In 2022, he faced backlash after a video circulated online showing him threatening his young daughter for accidentally breaking a water bottle. The video caused widespread outrage, with many calling for action to be taken by child rights organizations. Kasolo responded by downplaying the incident, claiming he had only been playing with his daughter.
Despite the many storms surrounding him, Kasolo maintains that he is focused on healing and looking forward to getting back on his feet. Whether met with support or criticism, his recent experiences have once again placed him in the public eye, stirring debate and mixed reactions across the gospel music community and beyond.
