Tanzanian singer Ali Kiba has explained why he doesn’t walk around with bodyguards like his colleagues in the music industry.
Speaking to YoFace, Kiba said that he doesn’t need the services of bodyguards like the way Harmonize and Diamond depended on them because God is always protecting him.
“Even if I get 100 bodyguards that will not help. If someone wants to kill me they will just do it. I do not need bodyguards because God watches over me,” he said.
No cases
We have seen how most artists are forced to travel with a huge number of bodyguards to keep fans and stalkers away. Apparently, Ali Kiba’s life has been smooth without all this and we have never heard of any nasty encounters with any fan.
Tanzanian music is big in Kenya. This is a fact of life and from the look of things, this will be the case for a long time to come. It’s just what it is.
If you are keen enough, you’ll notice that the top trending songs on YouTube (Kenya) are usually Tanzanian songs. As we speak, Diamond’s latest single dubbed The One is occupying the number one spot.
Before that, Harmonize’s Kainama was trending at number one and before that it was probably another Wasafi song or a song the likes of Aslay, Shetta Juma Jux, Darassa or even Ali Kiba. The point is, the biggest song in Kenya on most occasions is always a Tanzanian song.
There’s no explanation for this other than the fact that musicians from that country are very consistent and then there’s the obvious fact that their music is good. From the videos, to the lyrics down to the beat, everything is always top-notch.
Naturally, if you are a music fan, whether male or female, you’ll find yourself vibing to these songs never mind the fact that they are Bongo songs. Let’s be honest, when a song is good, it’s good there are no two ways about it.
I was recently having a conversation with some friends and I thought I should ask them what their thoughts are on men who listen to Bongo music. My question was driven by the fact that Tanzanian jams are always trending in Kenya.
Some of them claimed they would never listen to such songs. If they did, they would come off as weak men. Others, however, admitted that they listen to Bongo music because the songs are infectious. Incase you were wondering, I fall in the latter category. I listen to Tanzanian songs once in a while. Yup!
Truth is, no music genre is a preserve of a certain gender. It’s just the way the society has shaped our thinking. From a young age, men are taught to be tough while ladies are seen as soft. Perhaps this explains why men are drawn to Hip Hop while ladies are drawn to Bongo music, R&B and what not.
This should not be the case. Men should not feel like they are losing their masculinity because they love Bongo music. It’s totally okay to enjoy music that you feel is good. There’s absolutely no shame in it.
Diamond Platnumz
Allow me to say this again, “No music genre is a preserve of a certain gender.” If you enjoy Bongo music, knock yourself out, it doesn’t make you any less of a man. And no, I’m not telling you to listen to Tanzanian songs at the expense of Kenyan music.

Tanzanian singer Ali Kiba has said he doesn’t want to work with Diamond Platnumz and fans should stop pushing him towards it.
Diamond Platnumz’ management recently confessed that the beef between Ali Kiba and Diamond was something manufactured and there was no trouble between them.
In an interview with Tanzania’s Kwanza TV, the singer said he’s not interested with working with Diamond.
“You can’t force me to do a collaboration with anyone I don’t want to. I will be the one to make that call,” he said.
Fake?
Kiba, who is now a footballer now, has been going back and forth with Diamond for almost five years now. Though the two have said their beef was not real, they never meet eye to eye or even mention each other.
Tanzanian singer Ali kiba has finally opened up on his ex-girlfriend Jokate Mwegelo’s recent appointment as Kisarawe District Commissioner by President John Pombe Magufuli.
The appointed left Jokate trolled by citizens online forcing the government to intervene and protect the commissioner by threatening arrest on any one caught mocking her.
Happy
AliKiba opened up on the appointing but didn’t want to say much.
“Siwezi kuzungumzia hilo lakini kiufupi nilifurahi na ninampa hongera,” Alikiba said after being approached by Millard Ayo TV while attending his younger sister Zabibu Kiba’s wedding.
The two dated almost three years ago and were pictured in several events publicly sharing their love for each other.
Singer Alikiba rubbed his fans the wrong way while mourning Tanzanian actress Muna Love’s son Patrick Peters who passed away in Nairobi while undergoing treatment at a Nairobi Hospital.
Alikiba, a father of three, sent a message saying that it’s sad the 7-year-old boy had to die but fans were quick to criticize his move, claiming that he once said his region doesn’t allow him to mourn the dead.
Why now?

Tanzania singer AliKiba will marry a Kenyan lady and Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho, who is a close friend, is expected to be a senior guest at the wedding.
The popular singer will marry Amina Rikesh, who comes from Mombasa, on April 19 according to different sources.
“She (Amina) lives at Kongowea, Mombasa,” said an insider.
“Wedding organizers have informed me, via phone, they are sending me an invite to the event, which should be taking place on April 19.”
Close ties with Joho
Both Rikesh and AliKiba are close friends to Joho and according to the insider is the reason why Joho will be a chief guest at the wedding.
“Amina’s family has close ties with Governor Joho. Amina’s mum is a friend to Ali Joho’s elder brother, Abu Joho,” said the insider.
Githeri man aka Martin Kamotho is not only popular in Kenya but around East Africa. His photo has brought life on the internet and unlike what many thought the fella has actually made quite a fortune thanks to the simple photo.
Well apart from the likes of Eric Omondi and other many Kenyan celebrities – Tanzanian sensation King Kiba has also dropped a photo pulling the Githeri man challenge.
Though I am not sure whether he is holding a transparent paper with popcorns or Githeri. He however managed to pull the over Size blazer and his pose on the photo making rounds on Instagram.
Kiba has always considered Kenya his second home, so it is not shocking to see him pull this stunt.
Ali Kiba has four children with four different baby mamas. The singer’s mother wants her son to settle down with Jokate so that she can take care of his kids.
Ali Kiba’s mother is adamant that her son is ripe for marriage since he had already utilized his youth. While speaking to Global Publishers, the singer’s mother said that her son needed to marry so that his wife could take care of his four kids.
“Mimi kama mzazi, ninaona muda wa Ali kuoa sasa umefika maana kama ni maisha ya ujana ameshafanya kila kitu, ana watoto wanne na kila mmoja na mama yake, ni vizuri sasa akachukua mke ili aweze kuwalea hawa watoto wake. Mimi kama mzazi huu ndiyo msimamo wangu, ninamtaka atafakari na kuchukua uamuzi mara moja, maana ingawa siyo vizuri kwa mzazi kumpangia mtoto wake cha kufanya, lakini inapofikia suala la kuoa ni muhimu ukasimama na kutoa msimamo, wakati wa kuoa umefika,” Ali Kiba’s mother said.
Jokate Mwegelo
Meanwhile Ali Kiba’s sister Zabibu stated that her brother should marry Jokate Mwegelo – popular Tanzanian model-cum-actress.
Zabibu explained that Jokate had all the qualities to make the perfect wife for Ali Kiba. Zabibu also threw her weight behind Jokate because she is her friend.
“Mimi namchukulia Jokate kivingine kabisa, ni msichana mwenye busara zake na amekuwa kama mshauri wangu wa karibu mno, ningetamani angekuwa mke halali wa kaka yangu kwa sababu ana vigezo vyote vya kuwa hivyo. Kwa kuwa kaka yangu bado hajaoa, ninaomba kila kukicha nafasi hiyo ichukuliwe na Jokate kwa sababu ni mwanamke anayestahili kuipata nafasi hiyo ya kuwa wifi yangu,” Zabibu said.
