I Refused To Sign Agreement With The Devil - Musician

Simon Kiman, a veteran Kenyan artist who became a preacher and is known as "Bamboo," told a secret about his past that shocked a lot of people.

In an interview with Tuko, Bamboo talked about why he left the secular music business and decided to spread the gospel. Bamboo said in his story that he was offered money and fame if he joined a cult that many famous musicians are a part of.

He didn't join the movement, though, because he heard a voice in his head telling him not to. Bamboo says that after he turned down the offer, things didn't get easier for him because nothing was working for him at the time.

He knew, though, that he was called for a different mission and purpose, and it was in search of that purpose that he found God and never looked back.

Victoria Kimani, a well-known Kenyan artist who lives in Nigeria, has a brother named Bamboo. During a Q&A with her fans, Victoria Kimani said that she had no plans to make a song with her brother shoppingmode because he no longer made secular music like she did.

Bamboo, who is known for his mega hit "Compe," said that he had seen the light and decided to give his life to Christ in 2013.

He said that he was done with secular music and went on to say that a dream he had about Jay Z and Beyonce led him to God.

Bamboo said that in the dream, he was at a concert by the two best American musicians when the earth suddenly opened up and swallowed him.

He said that the terrorist attack at the Westgate shopping mall, which killed 71 people, sealed his decision because he had been praying about it for a long time.

In 2012, Bamboo first said he was saved. But after a few months, he fell away again. When he asked what was different about his salvation in 2013, he said that in 2012, he didn't know what he was getting into.

"I didn't know what it meant to be born again. I didn't get what it was all about.

"The devil and God are in a fight inside of me. But now I know what's going on in the world, and I don't want to work for the devil," he said.

In 2019, Bamboo made headlines when he said that his girlfriend at the time, a woman named Crystal, had made him a member of the Illuminati.

He must have agreed because he thought the cult would help him get deals he was missing out on.

"In order to get a deal, my then-girlfriend Crystal, whose name is Crystal and who is half Italian and half Jamaican, told me about the Illuminati," Bamboo said.

Erica Mukisa, who is married to the rapper, has a story like Bamboo's because she had a dark past before she finally found the light.

Mukisa is from Uganda. She wrote a book called A Story of Hell, Witchcraft, and Family: Erica Part One, Seven Years in Hell. In it, she talked about how she struggled with witchcraft and sorcery when she was young.

In the book, she wrote about how her grandmother taught her about the dark powers of the underworld and how she slept with snakes.
