Pioneer Bongo star Godfrey Tumaini alias Dudu Baya is on a new path after receiving salvation in Kawe, Dar es Salaam.
According to Ijumaa Wikienda, the self-styled Konki Master was anointed afresh on seeing the light at the Arise and Shine church in an event presided over by popular Tanzanian televangelist, Boniface Mwamposa.
“Leo Konki kanikosha nimepiga kelele kwa nguvu...Ahsante bulldozer kwa kufungua watu wamjue Mungu tunakupenda mno Mungu azidï kukutunza,” celebrated the preacher.
Speaking to Mwanachi, Dudu Baya - famed for his 2015 hit Nakupenda Tu - said that he is a changed man with a renewed purpose in life.
He explained that he has faced challenges in his life that peaked in the past month where he was tormented to a point of even lacking sleep.
He then decided to approach the preacher for prayers on Saturday, August 24, and officially made his decision known that Sunday.
“Nimeamua kubadili mfumo wa maisha kuanzia ninavyoishi mtaani hadi kwenye kazi yangu ya mziki, hivyo mashabiki nawahakikishia kuanzia sasa nyimbo zangu hazitakua na maneno machafu kama ilivyozoeleka.
“Nimeamua kutumia kipaji changu katika kutoa elimu Zaidi na ninawashauri watu kumtumaini Mungu kwani yeye ndio kila kitu katika maisha yao,” said Dudu Baya.
In a post on Instagram, the rapper reiterated the positivity message with a pledge to let the past be.
“Mzigo mzito nimeutua. Sina adui tena. Sina mshindani tena. Baada ya kusamehe yote nimeyasahau. I am Konki 3 Master.”
Among the first to receive the singer to the fold was fast rising gospel singer Emmanuel Mbasha who stated on Instagram that Dudu Baya made the right decision.
“Nikiwa kama baba mlezi wa waimbaji wote wa nyimbo za injili Tanzania nachukua nafasi hii kukupongeza ndugu yangu Konki Master kwa uamuzi wako mzuri wa kumpokea Yesu Kristo.
“Hii ni hatua nzuri ya kuigwa na pia kupongezwa maana kwa Yesu ndiyo kuna kila kitu. Kama hauna wivu wa ki pepo naomba ushiriki kumpongeza Monki Master kwa hatua njema hii aliyochukua,” posted Mbasha.
