Baba Harare Chose Jiti Over Gospel Fans

Baba Harare shocked fans when he briefly turned to gospel music. He admitted that move broke many hearts. His switch promised new beginnings, yet gospel did not reward his talent. He faced challenges, disappointments, and rejection within the gospel space.

The genre did not embrace him the way Jiti did. The excitement faded, and opportunities became scarce. Speaking with honesty, he confessed the experience left him frustrated. His words today carried strength and clarity. On Instagram, he wrote: “Go where you are celebrated. Jiti family where am I seeing you? Birmingham or Harare?” He reminded followers that love matters.

He now treasures support from his Jiti audience. That bond gives him energy and courage. Fans celebrate his comeback, dancing to his unique sound. His statement proved music needs more than skill; it needs genuine acceptance. Baba Harare has chosen his people again, and Jiti celebrates.
