Kenya 🇰🇪: Viral Stunt or Genuine Response? Bahati Vows to Delete "Seti" Video if Fans Hit 5,000 Instagram Comments

In a move that has sent shockwaves through his fanbase and the online community, popular musician Bahati has made a controversial pledge: he will delete the music video for his latest track, "Seti," from YouTube if his fans can collectively post 5,000 comments on a specific Instagram post.

The singer, who has often courted publicity with bold actions, announced the ultimatum to his millions of followers today. The "Seti" video is currently a trending topic, making the threat of its removal a high-stakes publicity stunt.

Bahati took to his Instagram to issue the challenge in Swahili: "OKEY NIMESKIA KILIO CHENYU... DROP 5000 COMMENTS THEN I DELETE #SETI MUSIC VIDEO FROM MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL TONIGHT EVEN IF ITS TRENDING AT NO.1...COMMENT TUU #DELETESETI…LET'S GO I!"

(Translation: "OK, I HAVE HEARD YOUR CRY... DROP 5000 COMMENTS THEN I DELETE #SETI MUSIC VIDEO FROM MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL TONIGHT EVEN IF IT'S TRENDING AT NO.1... JUST COMMENT #DELETESETI... LET'S GO!")

The post suggests that the reaction—or "cry"—from his audience regarding the song may be mixed, leading to his drastic offer to remove the video, which is currently enjoying a high-ranking position on YouTube's trending charts.

While some fans are racing to meet the 5,000-comment threshold, seemingly to express displeasure with the song or simply to test the artist's resolve, others have labeled the move a calculated marketing ploy designed to increase engagement and visibility for the track.

The potential deletion of a high-trending video represents a significant commercial risk, prompting speculation across social media platforms. The deadline appears to be "tonight," leaving a tight window for fans to decide the fate of the "Seti" music video.

As the comment count climbs rapidly, the music world is watching to see if Bahati will follow through on his promise or if the viral challenge will prove to be his latest, most successful engagement campaign yet.
