After a spiritual hiatus of several years, Claire Bahi is turning the page on her pastoral career. The Ivorian singer officially announced her return to her musical roots during a live broadcast on TikTok on the night of March 27, 2026.

A choice dictated by grief and disillusionment

When asked about the reasons for this change of heart, the artist confessed that her religious commitment was intimately linked to the state of shock following the disappearance of DJ Arafat .

"I had gone to do God's work after a disappointment following Arafat's death. It didn't work out, so I'm returning to Coupé-décalé, the mother house," she declared frankly.

Beyond this emotional crisis, Claire Bahi did not hide her bitterness regarding her experience within the Christian community. She spoke in particular of a difficult daily life, saying she was a victim of moral and financial pressure from her religious circle. For her, the pastorate will remain an "experience," but no longer defines her future.

Between personal faith and a "secular" career

Even if she returns to the entertainment industry, Claire Bahi does not renounce her spirituality. She affirms her desire to reconcile her relationship with God and her artistic career, refusing to sacrifice one for the other. She now intends to lead a fulfilling Christian life, but without the constraints of pastoral work.

Vitale rejoices: "The real film begins"

The announcement immediately set the internet ablaze, prompting an enthusiastic reaction from her colleague Vitale . The "Boss of Coupé-Décalé," clearly delighted to be reunited with her longtime rival, posted a message tinged with humor and irony on Facebook:

1. The welcome: "FINALLY YOU'RE HERE... Welcome Claire Bahi TO OUR WORLD."
2. The challenge: "You know, I was so bored... The hour of DELIVERANCE has arrived."

This return undoubtedly marks a new era for Coupé-décalé, promising to revive artistic "hostilities" and give a second wind to the Ivorian showbiz scene.
