Tanzanian gospel music sensation Christina Shusho is set to sue fellow gospel singer and preacher, Mbarikiwa Mwakipesile after publicly criticizing the singer explanation for ending her marriage to Pastor John Shusho.
During a recent preaching session in Mbeya, Tanzania, Mwakipesile condemned Shusho’s decision to leave her marriage, questioning the sincerity of her explanation.
“I once preached here and said the most dangerous thing that can happen to a woman is her finding fame. She claims the reason to ditch her marriage is so she can focus on an ‘assignment’. What kind of assignment?” Mr Mwakipesile told congregants.
Shusho had previously stated in an interview with Jerusalem Church TV channel in Tanzania that she felt compelled to leave her marriage to focus on a divine “assignment” given to her by God.
“Let me be open, I have never been fake and I don’t lie. The truth is it’s an assignment. There is nothing different other than that. The assignment God has given me this season cannot allow me to stay where I was. I had to leave to go fulfil the assignment,” Ms Shusho commented during an interview with Jerusalem Church TV channel in Tanzania.
In response to Mwakipesile’s criticism, Shusho has taken legal action, filing a lawsuit against him and vowing to address the misinformation circulating about her marriage.
She has also expressed her intention to set the record straight regarding the real reasons behind her decision to end her marriage.
“Those who are using my picture or my name to spread misinformation about my marriage and others who are insulting me, the issue is already being dealt with my lawyers and I am hopeful they will face the full force of the law,” Ms Shusho stated.
