Kamba gospel singer Stephen Kasolo has had a tumultuous year filled with both personal and professional challenges. From an arrest to battling sickness, the renowned artist has been through quite a rough patch.
Kasolo Battles Illness After Release From Remand
Kasolo, who was recently released from remand prison, took to social media to share his struggles with illness. He revealed that he had been unable to work due to an unspecified illness that had left him bedridden for nearly three weeks. In his posts, the singer called on divine intervention for his recovery.
“Good, save me from the pain. Almost three weeks of sickness,” Kasolo wrote, before expressing his belief in healing: “I believe in healing. God heal me so that I can serve You. Give me a testimony so that I can stand again and declare that I was healed.”
Thankfully, on April 9, Kasolo updated his followers, saying that he was feeling much better. “God is great. I have been treated and regained my strength. Thanks for your prayers,” he said, offering gratitude to his fans, wife Grace, and friends who had supported him during his recovery. While many fans expressed their sympathy and offered prayers for his full recovery, some critics accused him of seeking sympathy, especially amidst his ongoing legal battle.
Legal Troubles: The Case of Cyberbullying
Kasolo’s personal life has also been embroiled in controversy following a legal issue with fellow singer Stella Mengele. The gospel artist was arrested after accusations of cyberbullying, with Stella claiming that Kasolo had tarnished her reputation. Stella went public with her grievances, even breaking down in a tearful TikTok live stream where she revealed how difficult it had been for her to work amidst the allegations.
In the aftermath of the incident, Kasolo’s legal battle has been ongoing, with the case still in court. The singer urged his fans to refrain from making light of the situation, emphasizing that the matter was being handled legally. Kasolo, known for courting controversy, has had past incidents that have sparked public outrage. In 2022, he was at the center of a scandal involving a viral video in which he was seen threatening his daughter after she broke a water bottle. The video prompted condemnation from the public, with many calling for intervention from children’s rights organizations.
A Year of Struggles
From legal battles to health issues, it has been a challenging time for Stephen Kasolo. Despite the hurdles, the gospel singer continues to lean on his faith, hoping for healing and resolution in both his health and legal matters. Whether Kasolo’s year will improve remains uncertain, but he is determined to move forward with strength and faith in God.
Fans and critics alike will continue to watch his journey, as the singer faces not only his personal challenges but also the scrutiny that comes with living in the public eye.
