Soul Jah Love’s alleged secret lover, Geraldine Baye has died.
Zimdancehall chanter Seh Calaz announced the development on his Facebook page saying;
“Life is too short Mwari ndovanoziva kwatoenda nezuva ratinoenda,. Dai tashandisa nguva yatinayo yatasara nayo to love, support and uplift each other,manje iiiii it’s opposite, tizokuonai makujuta kuchema n post tabayaRest in peace Geraldine Baye, She has gone to be with him.”
Following Soul Jah Love’s death early this year, Geraldine made headlines after she claimed on Facebook that she was in a secret love relationship with the late ZimDancehall star.
The Facebook post was accompanied by selfie pictures taken by Soul Jah Love himself. Some of the pictures featured the “couple” with two minor children.
Geraldine described Soul Jah Love as her soulmate and also claimed that Chibaba dedicated the song Kunyangwe Mukadaro to her.
Here is an excerpt of the post she wrote as she paid tribute to Soul Jah Love;
“Google just had to remind me…This is all am left with…Memories…You didn’t have to go like that..together times to be cherished…we were so private and so happy no-one knew about us we protected each other we did not let anyone in our home stories.
You taught me to do so many things, you gave me a reason to believe in myself again. You gave me love you gave me strength in our very peaceful home…you did not want anyone to know about us at first it made me feel some typer way till you showed me the bigger picture, You were only trying to protect us and it worked#hokoso….you sang Kunyangwe Mukadaro for me and Ndiani anonzi Sauro(so funny how Ndiani anonzi Sauro was composed)and Murwere wepfungwa, you couldn’t wait to get home so you could play the recorded version…Court days were the hardest for us…Takashorwa asi maitiro avo Mwari kukomborera pakashoreka.
Everyone turned their backs on us but that’s wat made us strong, people always questioned our relationship but we still chose and because we were all we had for each other we grew closer by the day and some days were hard but our beautiful moments were more.
People laughed at me our love story became a mockery asi takanga takagara takashoreka we accepted still, we understand each other mukushoreka kwedu.
Sometimes you would get sick in the middle of the night and you would completely refuse to go to the hospital ohhh that really annoyed me so much l would just sit on the floor completely clueless on what to do, l would shout at you and tell me kuti haaa Chibaby ChaDaddy come cuddle your man.
Sometimes nights were long coz its either you would be at the studio normally leave home at 23.00-03.00 am or you would be sick from 17.30-05.00am or you would be at the show.
What hurt me the most worst were Fridays and Saturdays, because we would spend the wholeday okay but get sugar attacks from 18.00 and start regaining strength around 23.30 that part of our lives was the worst, the next morning boom Jahlove IS A FAILURE.
You would spend most of your time wondering why people cant see that you were trying and you were also human like everyone, no-one knew how that chronic disease affected you, all people wanted to see was a strong Jah Love but never considered you were trying.
We accepted kushoreka kwedu and we lived in our own corner oh Muzavazi you have broken us as ur family who will protect us.
Kunyangwe vakati muri benzi muri benzi rangu.l come in peace.RIP my Soulmate..”
