“Ezekiel Mutua Mulls Action After Bahati’s ‘Seti’ Sparks Outrage — Where Does Kenya Draw the Line?”

Bahati’s return to the music scene with his latest release *“Seti”* has stirred heated debate across Kenya. The video, which features provocative choreography, bold fashion choices, and risqué scenes, has divided fans — with some celebrating his artistic freedom while others accusing him of abandoning his earlier wholesome image.

The biggest twist came when his wife, Diana Marua, publicly distanced herself from the project, saying she would not support the new direction her husband had taken in his music. That statement alone fueled further speculation and controversy.

Amid this storm, all eyes have turned to Ezekiel Mutua, the man often dubbed Kenya’s “morality police.” Known for his firm stance on what he considers indecent or immoral entertainment, Mutua has previously called out songs and videos that he believes threaten public values. His past interventions have ranged from public condemnations to pushing for bans, age restrictions, and even engaging artists in dialogue about their influence on society.

While he has not yet spoken directly about *Seti*, there’s strong expectation that Mutua may act. Possible outcomes include issuing a public warning, pushing for stricter age classifications, or urging broadcasters and platforms to limit its distribution. Given the video’s mature content, it wouldn’t be surprising if he demanded clearer guidelines on how such music is marketed and consumed, especially among young audiences.

At the heart of this debate lies a bigger question: how far can Kenyan artists go in the name of creativity before clashing with societal values? Bahati insists this is a new era of self-expression, while critics argue that the content erodes morals. Mutua’s eventual response could set the tone for how explicit music videos are handled in the country going forward.

For now, *Seti* continues to trend, sparking conversations not just about Bahati’s brand, but also about Kenya’s ongoing struggle to balance freedom of expression with cultural and moral expectation.
