The singer who turned to serving God, Claire Bahi, is profoundly moved and saddened. On her Facebook page, she has shared news of her father’s passing, a post that reflects the pain she is enduring following this loss.
The emblematic artist of the genre Coupé-Décalé, Claire Bahi, is facing painful times after the death of her father. Once nicknamed ‘the First Lady of Coupé-Décalé’, she announced this devastating loss on Monday, January 29, through an emotional post on her Facebook page, having embraced Christian faith.
“Heee Papa Bahi Gogoua my role model, my best friend, my God on earth, words are not enough to express the pain of your so brutal departure. Only the Lord can relieve me and it is with a broken heart that I pray the good and merciful God to receive you in his arms. Go in peace dad may your soul rest in peace. I will love you forever,” she wrote, accompanied by a photo of him that she also shared.
The pain has gripped evangelist and singer Claire Bahi as she announced the death of her father. While details pertaining to the date and circumstances of the death have not been disclosed, it seems that her father succumbed after a brief illness. Her sad news, shared on social media, has elicited a flood of support and condolences from fans and figures from the cultural world, including African artists such as Savan Alla, La Congolaise, and Mani Bella, as well as singer turned messenger of God, Vetcho Lolas.
It’s important to recall that Claire Bahi turned towards the Christian faith shortly after the tragic death of Coupé-Décalé star Arafat DJ, which occurred in August 2019. This shift marked her definitive departure from the Ivorian showbiz scene and led her to dedicate herself to spiritual and religious works, including the release of singles in praise of God. To solidify her transformation and evangelistic mission, Claire Bahi also pursued biblical training, leading her to become an evangelist-pastor.
