Here Is What A Veteran Tanzanian Songbird Said About Kikuyus In Kenya

For a long time, a celebrated Tanzanian songbird has been mistaken for a Kikuyu from Kenya thanks to her second name which looks more of a Kikuyu one than a Tanzanian one.

Lady Jay Dee has been mistaken for a Kikuyu and many Kenyans have been pressurizing her to relocate back to Kenya where her ancestors are. Jay Dee’s real name is Judy WAMBURA.

This has prompted Jay Dee to respond to those who have been questioning why she stays in Tanzania yet she harbours a Kikuyu name.

Jay Dee has said that she is not Kikuyu and she has no ancestral links with Kikuyus. Her relationship with Kenyans is basically based on music.

Jay Dee admits she loves Kenya to the core but she will never relocate to Kenya because she loves Tanzania so much because it is her country.

Jay Dee was speaking to a media house in Tanzania.
