Kenyans reacted to Jimmy Gait’s Hello cover will leave you in tears

When Adele released her hit single Hello after a five-year hiatus from the music industry, it sent shockwaves across the world and many covers popped up across the interwebs.
The first Kenyan cover, a Swahili rendition by Dela Maranga, got rave reviews-but a second one has got Kenyans denouncing their countryman on Twitter.
Gait takes the persona of God, speaking to a ‘prodigal child’ about changing their ways. From having chips fungas to drinking too much and forgetting their faith-Gait serenades a lost believer “from the other side” atop an upbeat track.
Within a matter of hours, the song’s YouTube video had received nearly 300 dislikes compared to 64 likes. Sadly, that was just a tip of the iceberg.
Kenyans on social media ruthlessly hit out at the gospel singer, with many making fun of his interpretation of the hit single.
