When celebrated Mt Kenya gospel musician Sammy Irungu touches a song or belts out a tune, it will likely become a great hit in the region.
And this, coupled with his huge following on social media, makes him popular with vernacular media stations competing to play his songs, host him and have his voice on air leading in their praise and worship programmes.
But, as popular as he is for his talent, his name also gets dragged down with scandals and bad press.
This shows that living a holy and anointed life is hard as people find ways to pull you down, Mr Irungu argues, saying he knows this only too well.
The musician has been widely criticised for being a social animal, arrogant, proud and condescending. The sentiments came out more strongly in 2019 when his audio dismissing Sh30,000 pay for a live performance got tongues wagging. He had said the pay was too low, and was only enough to buy a samosa.
However, there are those who see him as a humble, down-to-earth, generous and compassionate man.
