Born again Christian Ruth Matete says she regrets participating in beer-sponsored singing competition TPF 

Tusker Project Fame Season Five winner Ruth Matete continues to lament on why she enrolled for the show which was sponsored by an alcoholic brand.

Yet again, Matete has shared that she deeply regrets participating in the event because of the sponsors. She however revealed that she was in deep financial stress a reason why she took part in the event.

“Around that time, I was so stressed and I had financial difficulties. It was not a good gesture as a Christian. Even then, I knew I was wrong, but because in life we have ups and downs, no one should lie to you that after salvation everything is fine,” she said in an interview with Radio Jambo. 

Not happy

Her friends pushed her to try her luck in the widely televised event but her parents were also not happy about it.

”At that time, one of my friends advised me to try Tusker Project Fame. I hesitated but finally ended up going because of the frustrations of life, without even thinking about my salvation life.After TPF, there were so many gigs for me. Most people did not know I was saved. When I went back to church, there was a lot of drama, but I admitted I was wrong,” she said.

Ruth Matete explains why she has a scar on her back: I got burned by porridge

Singer Ruth Matete has opened up on why she has a scar on her back. Taking to social media, the TPF winner shared that as a young kid she got burned by porridge which left her with the mark.

“You see that scar on my back? That’s just what you can see. When I was young, I got burned by porridge. I was barely walking. Dad says I was still crawling. Back in Kakamega. Mum had prepared porridge and ran out to do something. I crawled, and touched the tip of the pot (sufuria) and it toppled over. Long story short, I burned 80%. I don’t know what that means?, I just know it’s alot of burning?.
The whole of my back, both of my thighs, parts of my hands, and a small part of my head.” she said. 

Grateful

Matete added that although she got the scar, she’s happy it came on a place she can hide so it doesn’t bother her so much.

“I mean, God was so gracious the parts that were burned are those I can hide with clothes. Now I know I was born to serve Him. Mini skirts, haiwes mek?
Ooh tank top! ?? ooh bare back. Ooh see through?? I can’t do such. Let’s just say, God is wise??Daddy says it was so hard for me to be carried. They had to do skin grafting on some parts that were deeply burned.

Adding:

“I keep wondering what part of my body was grafted to add to the deeply burned parts. Could the portion of skin that was cut to be grafted to other parts, be the one that could have added to my height???Anyway, before I bore you with the long story. This is what I would like to tell you. You may not have a physical scar like mine. Yours could be an emotional scar, mental scar, etc. It still is a scar. And it would be unfair to even say that my scar is worse than yours. Because we have different strengths. What seems easy to someone else could be very hard to another. 

‘I decided to stop crying over what had failed,’ Ruth Matete forced to leave her company and resign as CEO 

TPF champion winner Ruth Matete is one sad lady after a company she formed has seen her step off and resign as the CEO.

According to a post she shared on social media, Matete is no longer the CEO of Ruth Matete Music Academy which she helped start after her celebrated win.

Time to walk away

The company was started by the singer and her friends to help budding musicians in Kenya. Her stepping off from the company could mean a huge legal battle is on the way since her old partners are still using her name.

Here is what she said.

However, things did not work out as we had agreed and after some consultation here and there, I opted out of the partnership.

On 25th of July 2017, I officially resigned as the CEO of Ruth Matete Music Academy. It was a long, hard and painful period, as I had to start all over again. I felt like I had failed. In November 2017, I decided to stop crying over what had failed and focus on building.
Like they say, holding on sometimes hurts more than letting go

She added:

“To cut the long story short, I am now at Goshom Music School. Doing what I love. Helping people achieve their dreams in music, through nurturing and training them in their God given talents.. Through God’s grace we have started and growing.

This post is to notify you my client, fan and friend, that I am no longer at Ruth Matete Music Academy. I am still working things out to ensure that my name is removed from the business being that am no longer a partner in the said business. I covet your prayers.”

Her father however came forth to brush off the rumors despite the many photos of the lady looking rather weird emerged on social media. She shaved off her dreadlocks and changed her dressing style before disappearing again.

Anyway I bumped into one of her social media pages and believe it or not but Ruth Matete has now changed in so many ways that will leave you shocked.  She is the praise and worship leader at her church and judging from her photos…she is now dedicated to serving God.

Below are a few photos of the lady looking hotter than ever.
