¨Leave me alone!!!¨ Esma Platnumz alleged ´lover´ goes on a public rant, dumps her for his baby mama

Hell has broken lose after Diamond´s elder sister, Esma Platnumz´s alleged lover, dumped her for his baby mama.

The Tanzanian businesswoman has been parading her enviable ´fiance´online soon after her split with ex-hubby, Petit Man.

A relationship that has since brewed controversy with her new lover supposedly a family man complete with a wife and a child.

But Esma dismissed it all, claiming that her new guy is over and done with his baby mama and has moved on with her.

Behind the scenes

Funny enough, things between Esma and her new ´guy´ were actually not anything good.

Her lover, identified as ¨Abood¨ revealed this after his public outburst, affirming he is done with Esma and back to his baby mama.

Unfortunately, though too late, he regrets ever having engaged with Esma, for a relationship that never even took bearing.

Speaking in a candid interview with Tanzanian newspaper ´Amani´, Abood confessed it was a wrong move, cheating on his baby mama with Esma Platnumz.

Adding that he cannot marry Esma, like she had wanted, because his heart still belongs to his wife and baby mama, Baby J who is a popular Zanzibar musician.

According to Abood, he went to Esma out of lust but now regrets it big!

He sends a word of caution to Esma to move on and stop mentioning his name in media interviews.

Insisting that she should stop spreading false allegations on social media because her reputation is worse to begin with.

I am begging Esma to stop ruining my reputation online. I have decided to move back to my baby mama so she should let me be. I have a lot of negative issues about her but have not said a thing so let her respect me.

¨She fell asleep and never woke up again¨ Producer Tedd Josiah reminisces late wife in a long tear-jerking post

Music producer and Businessman, Tedd Josiah has had to raise his daughter all by himself after his wife´s untimely demise that remains engraved in his mind till date.

Over the weekend, the legendary producer penned a long, yet soulful message online, that moved fans and followers to tears.

A dedication to his late wife, Regina Katar, who left behind an adorable daughter in a mysterious manner.

Music producer, Tedd Josiah breaks down during his late wife´s burial

Tedd starts off:

I MISS MY FRIEND
What is grief like?

For him, grief remains a mystery, never to be understood.

Well it’s like the waves of an ocean sometimes they are high sometimes low but ur guaranteed they will hit. What causes them? Memories, jolts of confusion, uncertainty and moments of self doubt all play roles in this. How long does it take to heal? U don’t heal u just learn to walk with the limp.

Flashback

As he recalls that fateful day that his wife breathed her last:

Friday 7:30pm dinner at home with mama and JayJay she’d cooked rice and chicken and was happy beyond words… then a movie…. as JayJay slept between us on the couch.
After the film we went to bed and she’d talked right thru the movie!!!!
3am as she breast fed she complained that heat head hurt, took meds and threw them up. So we dashed to hospital ???? and she fell asleep and never woke up again.

And that was it! She was no more! He was shocked beyond words, some sort of trauma I´d say, left behind with a little girl to nurture all by himself.

But their is a potterer much greater that put our broken shards together and doesn’t need to use gold but rather just His Holy Spirit. God can make your broken shards vanish and make u a new. The old creation will vanish and a new u comes to life. Heart ???? break, death & loss, joblessness, broken dreams a loss of direction and vision, a broken home and health. He can make it all better because He can & Because the dust u walk on is all it takes for Him to breathe life into us. Before ur chards cut u and cut those around u ask the great potter’s to put u back together and make u new. As His word says “knock and the door shall be open…” He is a loving Good God ???????????? Happy Sunday

His cry is one: ¨No child should ever be without a mother! NO CHILD!!!¨

He sheds tears no more because he lives to celebrate his late wife with the common phrase: ¨broken crayons ???? still paint so i will paint¨.

No child should ever be without a mother! NO CHILD!!!
My friend u were magic, rest cause every Friday it plays back in my head….
But broken crayons ???? still paint so i will paint

¨I want people to know that Otile and I are in good terms¨ Singer Jovial explains

Sassy Kenyan songbird, Jovial had us witness a mysterious split between her and her boss, Otile Brown but none of them will let out their secret.

The sultry Mombasa artist revealed that the reason behind their split, remains a signed covenant between them, that none can let out.

However, none of this means that the two shared something intimate that led to their break away.

Singer Jovial quits Otile Brown’s record label

During an exclusive interview with Mpasho, Jovial stated:

We had agreed that our split is very confidential, but it´s not something big. People think it´s very difficult for a female artiste to work with a male unless there is a love relationship, but between Otile and I, there wasn´t anything like that.

Their friendship dates from way back and are therefore in good terms despite the ugly incident.

¨Zichune¨ singers, Jovial and Otile Brown

However, she remains grateful that Otile was there to walk her through the start of her music career.

We knew each other from way back. I wouldn´t want to talk about confidential things because they are in the contract. But we parted ways on good terms. I had a contract for 3 years with Otile Brown but things happened and I´m not working with him anymore. I thank him for holding my hand and I want people to know we are in good terms.

Away from that, many have been asking about the car Otile gifted Jovial with, as a sign of appreciating good talent.

Apparently, Jovial gave it back.

I returned his car back. I never used it because I don´t know how to drive.

New label

The lass who is currently signed under the controversial David Guoro´s Hailemind label, had this to say regarding his bitter split with Nadia Mukami.

I will not judge him about what happened between him and his previous artiste. I appreciate him because he understands me as a person.

Nadia Mukami exits David Guoro´s Hailemind Entertainment label

When it comes to her latest release song ¨Gubu¨, she clarifies it is not about her life, rather trying to shed light on what happens in day-to-day life.

I put this into love life, a person who has eyes for everyone yet I´m here giving him all the love. However, that´s not about my personal life. My music is about daily life, it´s very easy for people to relate with it. I have more collabos coming through from across East Africa.

The chaos Willis Raburu and his wife´s breakup, got them through – It was a mess!

Kenyan power couple, Willis Raburu and his wifey, Marya Prude have been to hell and back. The two actually broke up while they were still dating.

This Mrs Raburu revealed during her interview with Rev. Kathy Kiuna on ´Women Without Limits´.

According to Marya, Raburu was playing her with another woman, while they were still dating.

Power couple, Willis Raburu and Marya Prude Raburu

 

Something that saw their relationship go into shambles. She had had enough of him and she decided to do things her own way, she became ´hard-headed´.

We started getting into deep arguments. It was really crazy. It got to a place where we couldn´t move on. When he was dating me he had another girlfriend. I left and from there I became a very hard-headed woman. I moved out of my mum´s house and lived alone.

Willis Raburu´s wifey, Marya Prude

Meanwhile, Raburu was going through tough times. Matter of fact, the Citizen TV journalist became ´a laughing stock´.

When we called it quits, I went into a downward spiral. Wasichana walinijua. I was hurt because everybody is reminding me I can´t keep a girlfriend. For me, it was really painful. Then I became a workaholic. It was a mess.

Later on, Marya confronted Raburu when he came late for church. Six months down the line, Marya started selling cologne on Facebook, and Raburu savored the chance, to chat her up.

Raburu then had to postpone three of their dates before the dust settled for them, and here they are. Blossoming if not anything more.

¨Bob was my kind of person¨ Juliani reveals his insecurities after Collymore´s death

Kenyan contemporary music artist, Juliani is having a tough time after his close ally, Bob Collymore´s untimely death.

Speaking during K24´s Betty Kyallo weekend show, the ´Exponential Potential´ rapper revealed that he feels insecure in Collymore´s absence.

Juliani is currently working on a mentorship project dubbed ¨Dandora Hip Hop City¨.

Youths part of Juliani´s mentorship project dubbed ¨Dandora Hip Hop City¨

The hip hop artiste said that Collymore was his closest friend during times of need and Bob never let him down, he always encouraged him to push on with the project.

Juliani with Bob Collymore, previously

A project that to many, has been perceived as ´weird´.

You know when you are doing things people see like you are going crazy. But one needs someone to affirm them that they are fine. This is the role Bob Collymore played on my end. You know there are those kind of people who in case you get into something they are the first ones to look up and they won’t let you. I could tell him Bob send me KSh 1k and would do so without probing a lot. If I was in a problem, I only made a call to him and he was quick to respond. He was the kind of person that did not ask a lot of questions.

“God will see you through this mum” Rashid Abdalla’s prayer to his ailing mother

Citizen TV’s news anchor Rashid Abdalla finally introduced his mum to his loyal Instagram fans leaving many tongues wagging thanks to their striking resemblance.

Rashid Abdalla and his wife

This being the very first Rashid Abdalla is unveiling his mum since he has always been quite private with his personal life; it appears that this gesture was to praise her for being a strong parent to the anchor despite her unknown sickness.

Judging from Abdalla’s caption it’s obvious to see that his message to his mum was just a prayer to remind her that…this too shall pass with time. He went on to post saying;

Rashid Abdalla with his mum

#sisemikitu Ain’t easy won’t be easy but Inshallah God will see you through Mum. Take heart and be strong. #ifeelyoumum #22Junefeelsliketoday #continuerestinginpeacebro #getwellsoonmum

Private life

So far Rashid Abdalla and his wife Lulu Hassan have managed to keep their families lives off social media to avoid stalkers.

All we know for now is that Rashid Abdalla’s mum has been sick for a while but the anchor remains prayerful and hopeful that she will walk out of this stronger and braver!

What Ali Kiba had to say after turning down Diamond´s offer

Ali Kiba was invited to Diamond´s Wasafi Festival 2019 but he turned down the offer. However, he clarifies why he did that because for him – they have no beef.

Speaking during a press conference held on Friday in Dar, ahead of the Festival, King Kiba clarified to journalists:

Nafurahia sana muziki wa Diamond naomba muendelee kumsapoti kwa sababu ni msanii mzuri, anafanya kazi nzuri na anawakilisha nchi yetu. Diamond nilishamwambia sitoweza kushiriki katika onyesho lolote atakalofanya, nafurahia mafanikio anayopata, kama amepata siwezi kufanya kwa sababu mimi pia nina yangu ya kuyafanikisha, hakuna ugomvi kati yetu. [First of all, I want to tell you that there is no beef. It´s peace. I have already told Diamond that I won´t be at his event. I am happy that he has achieved a lot. I have my own goals to achieve.]

Tanzania´s music big shots, Diamond Platnumz (left) and Ali Kiba (right)

So why compare Diamond to ´a pencil´?

Nilipomjibu nikitumia mfano wa penseli nilimaanisha kuwa aache mambo ya kitoto kwa sababu nilishamjibu, mimi sio mtoto mdogo sirudii tena kujibu, mimi mwanaume na mwanaume anaongea mara moja tu. [When he repeated it, I gave him an example of a pencil it means that usilete mambo ya kitoto. I don´t need to answer you again. The truth is, I´m not a baby and a man does not repeat things.]

¨I was real with him¨ Nameless speaks after Nyashinski´s much-hyped dowry ceremony

It goes without saying that Nameless is Nyashinski´s right-hand man. Something evident not just from their friendship ties, but to the kind of events they grace together.

Recently, Nyashinski officiated his relationship to his Nandi girl in a traditional event that went down with only close family and allies present.

Nameless was top of the guest list and he sure did not disappoint. Up and close with Mpasho, the ¨Inspire¨ hitmaker revealed:

By the way huko, niliongea! Nilimpatia marks hapo mpaka tuu mambuyu wanasema, Okay… (nodding their heads).

And Nyashinski confirmed this after the event when he walked up to Nameless to tell him:

Wee! hapo umenipatia marks hapo.

Nameless continued:

You know that whole time, the Uncles are talking so nicely about her. Like ¨Nyash mumepata mtuuuuu!¨ So they were looking to see who will come and talk on behalf of Nyashinski pia atuongeze points hapo.

Hapo Sawa Broski????????! ????

A post shared by Nameless™ (@namelesskenya) on

However, in regard to how the event´s publicity was made, Nameless aired:

You guys, I don´t know how that story was twisted to become a lavish wedding. Manze, we had even gone with creased shirts, this was not a wedding, man!

All in all, nothing makes him happier than to see his best of friend make a step forward in life.

But we are happy to see jamaa ameamua. You can imagine, hii time ako na pressure mob.

Music brothers, Nyashinski (left) and Nameless (right)

As one man who went ahead of him in marriage and one with whom they remain close allies since time immemorial, Nameless piece of advice to his pal, Nyashinski is:

I was being real with him, I told him, this thing is not going to be easy and you have to develop skills of how to live with each other because we are not taught those things. Nowadays we are lucky, now, there are books that talk about emotional intelligence to understand the differences, to understand the emotions. If you don’t, you miscommunicate so much mpaka unashindwa why this thing is not working out.

Because unfortunately for him and Wahu:

I also had to go back and see why I was struggling in some areas and I was like, because we have not developed ourselves as much. So I always tell those of us who are going into marriage to develop that intelligence. It makes marriage better and better.

‘Wewe ndio mwizi Mkubwa!” Producer Magix Enga blasted by fans after accusing Harmonize of stealing his ‘Dundaing’ beat

Producer Magix Enga might have miscalculated his move when he decided to call out Harmonize for allegedly stealing his beat which the TZ artist used for his ‘Uno’ hit song.

According to Magix Enga, Harmonize did not put any effort in his latest snob since he just copy and pasted the same beat used on King Kaka’s Dundaing hit.

However it appears that Harmonize aka Jeshi’s fans have been paying attention to the music they listen to.

Shortly after Magix Enga’s post on Instagram, most of Harmonize’s fans couldn’t help but blast the Kenyan producer for being quite forgetful when it comes to who stole from who.

Olamide’s Motigbana beat

Apparently Dundaing produced by Magix Enga used Olamide’s beat which was used to create Motigbana.

Dundaing

Uno


Not quite sure how true this is since beats can ‘sometimes’ sound alike…but chances are that these East African artists might have borrowed a few ideas from Olamide’s hit song…so why embarrass each other?

Anyway below are a few comments left by fans under Magix Enga’s post.

It is sad that some Kenyan women do not get to choose when they want to get pregnant – Mwalimu Rachel´s public outcry

NRG lead radio presenter and host, Mwalimu Rachel has come out to explain the need for her birth control and many more for women in Kenya.

First, she doesn´t understand why it is a big deal for her to renew her 5-year birth control implant.

Funny enough, Kenyans have called it ´a ticket to sleeping around dry fry.´

But she doesn´t get why women should not be allowed the freedom to choose when they want to have kids.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4j0DEJB0jp/

According to her, it is saddening that despite having a way to actually determine when a woman gets pregnant, some Kenyan women are suffering in the hands of ignorance.

It is heartbreaking for her that there are women out here who are constantly getting in the delivery room.

Advice

Her advice is one: Ladies, find a method that works FOR YOU. It doesn´t matter what the world says, women should do it for themselves because it is ¨Liberating.¨

Well, she was scared like very other woman, at first, but soon after engaging her gynecologist, she was told: Do what’s right by Rachel not pressure by society or a gap issue.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4C1P5TBQAZ/

And that´s it! She embarked on her journey to ´liberation´. The media personality believes, so can every other woman, as long as they put their mind to it.

However, she affirms that the minute you want to bear more children, you can take it off but as for her, her 6-year old Jabari is enough for now.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4QXaNYBnsu/

Post

This is after trolls on Twitter came bashing her following her announcement that reads:

Gone too soon? After claiming Mr M is ´dead´, Zari ditches her wedding ring

Zari Hassan is definitely a hard nut to crack. In fact, she is puzzling.

She apparently found a guy with a heavy South African accent, dated for a while, then got married. So now, we are here trying to figure out why she decided to call Mr M ´dead´ and take her ring off.

It has been a while since she received a bouquet of flowers, or opulent gifts, or even just a lunch out. The two even hardly take photos together anymore.

Then recently she screamed how ´broke´ she has become because of her new home.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4jbBH1gE4b/

It´s tedious to even try figure out all these things. So now, her marriage ring is no more.

Whether she trashed it, or she decided to sell it off in exchange for her huge expenses, we don´t know.

All in all, seems like her swanky custom-made wedding ring has been replaced by another.

This is basing on her recent social media updates where she flaunts an oval-shaped stone ring unlike her previous square-shaped stone wedding ring.

Zari Hassan replaces original wedding ring for another

What happened to her wedding band? A marriage gone sour even before it started?

Over and over again, she has not shied off from introducing the world to her new diamond sparkling piece.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4brWgSA2Ma/

Sometimes, she even doesn´t have any ring at all.

Rosa Ree makes public apology following public outcry on her raunchy ¨Vitamin U¨ video

Tanzanian female rapper, Rosa Ree has been compelled to apologize for her raunchy ¨Vitamin U¨ video with her Kenyan sweetheart, Timmy T Dat.

The public´s outcry demanded a public apology from the lass, with some referring to her as a disgrace to women.

Ree made her apology to her motherland, to fans and to East Africa at large for the explicit content.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B3HhhMgHZpB/

Summon

Unfortunately, the badass female rapper claims she is not well acquainted with the government regulations on such films.

Additionally claiming she was not aware she featured in T Dat´s video.

Alikiri kwamba ni kosa amefanya, lakini alisema kwamba hakujua kwamba ni kosa ama alipaswa kutuma video kwanza.

However, it is after the summon from the Tanzania Films Board, that she realized the scope of her actions.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B28uoKHnIGb/

Tuesday afternoon, the 5th of November, she made a public apology after the meeting.

Through an Instagram clip, Ree expresses:

My name is Rose Ree, I am a Tanzanian musician, I would like to say sorry to everyone who was offended by the video that has been doing rounds on social media. Today, I had a meeting with Tanzania Films Board and they have enlightened me on a number of things that I did not know. I have learnt about their regulations. From today onwards I will be forwarding my scripts to them and we will work together in harmony.

The two have definitely had a fair share of a run for their time and resources from fans.

“My p*ssy has a price tag!” Bridget Achieng

Bridget Achieng is not one to shy off from telling fans what she feels or thinks especially when most of her fans seem so judgmental.

Thanks to a new video shared on her YouTube Chanel, Bridget Achieng for the very first time addresses a few things people keep making assumptions about when it comes to her lifestyle.

Bridget Achieng

Well, Bridget Achieng has made it clear that her privates are not to be free neither will she pretend she doesn’t like rich men in-order to make people happy.

“Many times people have misjudged me because I love my men with a little cash, is it my fault that I get men who have money. Everyone has their choice, my privates are washed with very expensive soap, it is clean and very expensive.”

Not a prostitute!

Miss Achieng goes on to add that she doesn’t sell her body like most people have been made to believe by ladies claiming that she is a prostitute.

This is however not the first time Bridget Achieng is being linked to working as an escort.

¨If you find a guy loves you and adores you, fight for him¨ Ben Kitili´s wife speaks after religion trolls

Ben Kitili and wife, Amina Mude´s marriage has been on controversy for a while now, but she finally speaks.

This is due to fact that Amina is of Islam faith while her hubby, Ben Kitili professes the Christian faith.

How they were able to even get married in the first place, remains a mystery.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt22ZoEgrxq/

In an online Q&A session with fans, Mrs Kitili confessed that their marriage was definitely nothing easy especially for her parents´ approval.

Well, they finally did.

Next question is, coming from 2 different religions, how is marriage life for them like?

Good thing that Ben is sweetheart. In fact, he is well acquainted with the Islam customs and religious beliefs.

But what of their kids?

Just as human as we are, there will always be someone in the same path of life like you. So Amina´s advice to her ´twinnies´ is:

Despite the trolls and backlash especially from those who profess her Islam faith, she has grown to tackle it.

And probably why a fan was all up to cheer her:

¨Maisha ni magumu¨ Diamond´s manager, Babu Tale opens up on his life at WCB

Tanzanian talent manager, Babu Tale has revealed that despite fact that he sits at the high table at WCB, it is not as easy as it might seem.

The youthful manager who scooped the Best African Talent/ Artists Managers 2019 award, remains thankful for the award but it is not only his effort.

Speaking in regard to his fellow Wasafi managers, Salam SK and Mkubwa Fella, he expressed:

Mi siwezi kuwa meneja bora kama team yangu sio bora. Namshukuru Fella, yeye ndio role model wangu. Lakini uwepo wa Sallam kwenye kundi umesaidia kunikaribishia mabadiliko.

Wasafi managers, (from left) Babu Tale, Salam SK and Mkubwa Fella (extreme right) with Diamond Platnumz (holding award)

However, being at the top only means more responsibilities and more input.

Maisha magumu. Mtu akikuangalia hivi nje, anaweza akasema these guys are enjoying their life.

But with success comes battles whether internal or external.

Tunagombana sisi team mzima. Yaani, mimi naeza nikagombana na Diamond siku mbili. Nimesafiri na Diamond Marekani masaa kumi na tano, hatuongei. Kwanza kuishi na Sallam ni sehemu ya kugombana. Lazima mgombane. Kwa  sababu yeye, ni mtu anayeamini msimamo wake. Mafanikio ni sehemu ya vita. Mi ni mmoja kati ya watu waliofanikiwa. Kwa hiyo nikipigwa vita, nasema, sio vita, ni sehemu ya mafanikio. Naushukuru mziki sana.

Wasafi managers, Babu Tale (left) and Salam SK (right)

Sadly, despite his ranking, it came a time when he felt like he could do this no more, especially after a certain group of artists lashed out at him in a song.

Nilishawai kuchukia wasanii walipoungana wakaniimba nyimbo kabisa ya kunitukana. I was like…acha niachane na hii kazi. Iliniuma.

But why is it that Diamond is seemingly the only Tanzanian artist who stays at the top unlike many artists?

Diamond ni mtu wa kudhubutu. [Diamond is a person known to take risks]

After Ali Kiba turned him down, Diamond takes on Africa´s heavyweights Tiwa and Wizkid

East Africa´s mover and shaker, Diamond Platnumz is not going to waste his time pleading with his bongo rivals to show up at his Wasafi event.

He has already moved on to Nigeria´s power couple, Wizkid and Tiwa Savage.

Chibu is set to have his Wasafi festival 2019 go down in style. Probably one of the biggest events in bongo land this year.

He has championed Africa´s get-together, right from home to the continent at large. He definitely is into good money. No lie!

Saturday, the 9th of November 2019, Dar goes to a standstill as the massive Wasafi Festival launches.

With Tiwa and Wizkid in location, what more are you asking for? Definitely Wasafi´s own Vanny Boy will be on stage.

Diamond Platnumz elder sister opens up about her alleged beef with Hamisa Mobetto

For a while now rumor has had it that Esma Khan and Hamisa Mobetto no longer see eye to eye ever since calling off their friendship.

Apparently this is after Hamisa Mobetto decided to get romantically involved with Diamond Platnumz – a boundary that Esma could not forgive Mobetto for crossing.

Anyway just recently during a recent interview, Esma Khan refuted claims that she remains grave enemies with Miss Mobetto who also happens to be Diamond Platnumz baby mama.

Hamna mtu aliyotengeneza, ni vitu ambavyo vilikuwepo ni vya ukweli. Hakuna mtu anayeweza akakaa akafanya ujinga kama huo. Hatuna mda huo, sisi tuna mda wa kutafuta pesa.

Family friends

Unlike what many assume, Esma Khan is actually friendly with Hamisa Mobetto. In her interview she revealed that the last time they spoke was on Dylan’s birthday – but once in a while they also exchange business ideas.

Nani akakuambia mimi simpendi Hamisa Mobetto. Mimi na Hamisa Mobetto tunachat kama kawaida nakumbuka mara ya mwisho tumechat mwezi ule. Tulikuwa tunaongelea kuhusu birthday ya mtoto Dylan. Kesho yake akanitumia picha yake aliyopiga na Taraji. Pia tukaongelea kuhusu mambo ya biashara, material, tuliongea vitu vingi. So Tunaongea, we chat, hatuna tatizo na wala hatuchukiani.

Esma went on to add that Hamisa Mobetto has changed a lot over the past few years and this is something to be proud of.

Napenda sasa hivi alivyo badilika amekuwa mstaarabu. Amekuwa sio mtu kama yule wa zamani drama drama pia napenda kazi zake, napenda anavyo vaa hajawai kukosea kusema ukweli.

Whether this comes after Terence Creative´s crooked ways were unearthed or not, we can´t tell yet.

But the mother of 1 believes that is just but ´the highest form of stupidity´.

For her, you owe no married man, your loyalty as a single lass, because well, you don´t have his ring.

Meanwhile, she is savoring her moments with Lamu Senator, Anwar Loitiptip, alongside her daughter.

Betty Kyallo forced to respond after Kenyans ´married her off´ to Stivo Simple Boy

You run out of options when you become a public figure in Kenya. Betty Kyallo is now alleged to be Stivo Simple Boy´s girl.

I don´t know your take on this…but really???

The TV queen who is in a fantasy cloud of her own with her affluent Caucasian man has now been linked to popular ghetto kid, Stivo Simple Boy.

How, I don´t know too.

So now, she has to answer to the reports before Kenyans settle on the issue and patch the two up.

According to Twitter reports the lass apparently plans to elope with the Kibra-born rapper.

So a tweep came out to confront Betty to clarify on the issue. All she could do was laugh her lungs out because first, she was not even aware of such news.

Second, she says Stivo Simple Boy is not even in the business of relationships for now.

So a post emerges with the words reading:

Ladies Nyashinski is taken, Jalang´o gone, Simple Boy is almost taken by Betty Kyallo now you only have 2 options…Ringtone or Us.

A Twitter user identified as Samuel Thiong´o posed:

Hey Betty can you respond to these allegations??

Then caught unawares, Betty laughs off:

????????????????????Stivo hana hata shughuli na ladies????

Stivo Simple Boy recently featured on the TV siren´s ¨Up Close with Betty¨ on K24.

Watch as Diamond Platnumz dances to his son´s tune in hilarious video

You don´t understand how parents regress to their childhood habits until you become one. Diamond Platnumz has now fallen victim.

Simba has been forced to speak ¨the babies´ language¨ with his toddler of a son.

This is after a video surfacing online, shows Chibu singing to Naseeb Junior´s tune. Words you can hardly interpret, and a sure sight to behold as Diamond entertains his little one.

It is hilarious yet so adorable and interesting that away from the stunts he drops on stage to massive global audiences, when he needs to conduct his ´daddy duties´, he does them so well. It is admirable.

As captured by Tanzanian online blog, ´the originaleast´, Diamond literally is going nuts over his newborn baby boy.

Kamene Goro´s HIV test results become a tug-of-war online [video]

Well, out-spoken radio queen, Kamene Goro was out to share her HIV test results with fans online, but it has now turned into a heated debate.

With her test result up, she simply captions:

Yes, it turns out negative however numerous the string of men she has been involved with.

But that´s not the gamble here. The debate comes in when Kenyans flock her page and comment:

Would you have shown it if the result was positive?

Kamene responds:

@minkenya does it matter?

Another fan decided to try his luck:

ingekua positive ungetuonyesha pia?

And having had enough of repeating the same hing, Kamene comes out loud:

@bryanmoguche_bramo does it matter? Getting tested is the point! Knowing where you stand is the point! Not a negative or positive test!

Fans become insistent and push Kamene to the edge, posing:

Go for confirmatory test don’t be that sure

This pricks Kamene´s skin a little harder and firing back, she irately responds:

@morriekalani you think this is the 1st test I’ve taken. Some of us are very diligent. It’s called discipline, so chill. I’m well informed.

Blast

The Kiss 100 presenter decided to set things straight to her online fans and in a short clip, she calls out Kenyans for being one of the most highly educated yet ignorant society in the whole world.

According to her, fans misinterpreted her intentions but she clarifies that her message was simply ´Get Tested´.

C´mon, you can´t be that shallow-minded. We can´t afford to be that shallow in our thinking guys. Have you gotten yourself tested? That´s the most important part. Aaah! Mnanichosha!

Unfortunately, her public rant did not serve any good as fans came out bashing:

Very insensitive to post a negative result. Should of taken the picture before the result appeared on the strip or taken a picture of the kit,that would of sufficed to get the message across. Maybe the intentions were good hearted but the execution couldn’t of been more flaud. This is a sensitive matter and frankly a private one, and those out there who are positive don’t need a constant reminder of their condition by people rubbing it in their faces by flaunting their negative results. The correct message should of been that off awareness and privacy.

 

This is my take. When you are in a position to educate people on issues that pertain to them and the society shuns upon, it is an unspoken duty to do just that. But one should do it while taking into consideration the sensitivity of each issue. Be sensitive to those who might not have such a result. Keep it on educating people. Whether you are safe or not does not bear weight on the unsafe. Educate everyone as an equal.

 

Yes we have so many tyms kwanza me I do it once in every 3months and after getting the results I usually throw tht kit in the garbage bin,we don’t show off.okie wht was the reason behind posting it for the public to see.

 

Sasa kwa sababu you tested negative umeanza kuhubiri????????????????

 

@royalgift96 you are exactly the person I’m talking about. Ignorant! Jesus!

Rescue team

Not everyone is anti-Kamene´s post, a section of her pro-Kamene post came in:

Do we just crave controversy or are we just too idle that any oportunitty to cook up the negative we jump on like a blackjack on clothes …

 

@izzohkimmy I wonder

 

@kamenegoro babe don’t struggle… You inspired someone to go test. That’s great keep doing you and leading from the front

 

those are people with small minds don’t mind them gal.and this was your choice not theirs

 

What is wrong with our society. The point across is knowing your status. The people who wrote such idiotic comments are the ones who still place a stigma on HIV+ people. We have a two months in this decade for crying out loud. People need to get their act together. Such average thinkers lead average lives.

While others bashed each other:

@ericoh_mwangi @kamenegoro Erico mwangi unachoma with 247 followers nyamaza. Acha watu wanaeza influence masses wafanye kazi yao which is very okay, kuja huku nyuma ya tent!

 

@mnksydney yoh am not trying to look for fame or followers ova hear,so just stay on ur lane u “gilipollas cabron”..

For those who were here to watch:

????????…I need me some popcorns. It’s getting lit in here????????????

Akothee opens up about being mistreated by promoter during her show in the US

Singer Akothee is quite disappointed by one Sarah Okindo who invited her for a show which went down in Minneapolis, Minnesota this past weekend.

According to Akothee, the promoter not only frustrated her during her stay in the US by not providing a driver to pick her from the hotel;  but also canceled her return flight, left her with an unpaid hotel and did not give her the donations agreed upon for the Akothee foundation.

In a lengthy detailed post shared by the singer, Akothee wrote saying;

Mum I hope all I will say here is truth and God be my witness. You invited me to Minneapolis based on you wanting to promote and support Akothee foundation, My guts refused several times and I told my management I had other commitments in Nigeria on the 2nd, I was forced to cancel my flight to attend mineapolis show????????, @rumbanotes had paid for return flights on the 31st from Dallas to Paris, you ordered my manager to cancel the tickets and that you will buy new tickets for the 4th from mineapolis, ,Seattle Paris????, 4 days before the show ,you changed the venue and asked my manager tomake a new poster for new venue which he did, wanted prior dinner with me and your friends and I told my management that I dont engage before my perfomance, this was for your own good, you said you had people who wanted to donate for Akothee foundation, and manager told you that we can do that after the show????????, you came to the airport with your family with just one car ????well I love children so it wasn’t a problem for me,but we could hardly fit in????, you checked me into a budget hotel,I still kept my calm ,I was tired so I slept , the following day , you only checked Me into the hotel at 7.30 PM, I needed rest ,so I slept for 2 hours and was awake by 10.00 PM, I was ready for the show by 12.00 but there was no car to take me to the venue ,and you had not given the manager the balance ???? , you came to pick me up at 1.30 and we arrived at the venue at 2.00am

Endangering Akothee’s life

Since the lady picked Akothee late, the singer says that the promoter decided to drive at a high speed since fans had already grown tired of waiting for the show and were now leaving. Akothee went on to add saying;

???? you driving like crazy on the road because fans were tired and leaving the venue , I was afraid for my life ????‍♂️ after the show, I still created time and had a photo session with fans, then boom, I was left in the cold, with no car to drive me back to the hotel , you left me in your car for almost 15 minutes ???? then a gentleman came with your car keys and drove me back to the hotel with your instructions ???????? I was happy to see my bed ????????you then became mad as to why I was taken to the hotel with your car, mom how was I supposed to get back ? You then got your car back. Drove off and dumped my manager in the cold ????????with no means of transport to come back to the hotel ????????mum we were your guests , what happened ,
