Kenyan gospel artist Bahati has stunned fans by shaving his signature dreadlocks, a personal vow he made ahead of Arsenal’s UEFA Champions League semi-final clash with Paris Saint-Germain. The Gunners’ 2-1 defeat to PSG, which sealed their exit on a 3-1 aggregate, triggered the artist’s long-standing promise to cut his hair if his team fell short.
In a video shared online, Bahati is seen welcoming a barber into his home just hours after the final whistle. The atmosphere was a mix of solemnity and humor, as his wife, Diana Marua, jokingly brought out a pair of garden shears, ready to help with the dramatic trim. However, Bahati chose to go the professional route, sitting down for a clean shave.
The artist later posted a photo of his new bald look, captioning it “New season,” signaling a symbolic fresh start not just for Arsenal, but for himself as well. Fans praised Bahati’s bold move, calling it a rare display of loyalty in a world where celebrity promises often go unfulfilled.
With his dreadlocks gone and a renewed outlook, Bahati is entering a new phase—both as a fan and as a man.
