Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Gospel singer, Ruth Matete was yesterday, 21st April grilled by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations’ homicide unit following her husband’s demise.

Earlier on, she had on Friday, 17th April, recorded another statement with the DCI detectives on the same.

On Tuesday, officers from the DCI questioned Ms Matete for a good  six hours at their headquarters, after unclear circumstances surrounded the death of her late husband, Pastor Belovedjohn Apewajoye.

Investigations

Last week, the singer, in the company of homicide detectives, went to collect samples from her house in Athi River, Machakos county where the unfortunate incident had occurred.

They took away the said gas cylinder as an exhibit from the scene which has since been treated as a crime scene.

The homicide detectives are set to work alongside those at Athi River as they try to establish the facts surrounding the Nigerian pastor’s death.

The DCI take over Ruth Matete’s late husband’s case

Athi River police boss, Catherine Ringera divulged that this alliance was nothing new.

They are colleagues and it is meant to ensure no doubt left. After the autopsy, we will know the way forward.

A postmortem had been expected to be conducted yesterday, the 21st of April but has since been postponed to Thursday.

Parties of interest

Bellevue South Hospital – that was implicated for allegedly mishandling the deceased – said they will have an independent pathologist present during the examination.

An examination set to be conducted at the Kenyatta National Hospital mortuary in Nairobi.

Ruth Matete’s lawyer, Robert Odanga however stated that the hospital has a case to answer, despite distancing themselves from any previous incidences of neglecting their patients.

Bellevue South hospital on the 17th of April had released a statement that reads in part:

Our emergency response unit has had the best outcomes in managing a good number of burn cases that have recovered tremendously and discharged from our hospital.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Embassy in Nairobi said they will rely on the findings from the DCI to determine the actual cause of Mr Apewajoye’s demise.

The Nation further indicated that any other parties that had interests in the case would as well be allowed to present independent pathologists.

However Zari was actually interested in the Tanzanian slay queens popularly known to take photos at fancy hotels! When you look at her post keenly; you will understand that this was meant for the likes of Official Lyyn; Tunda and others who sneaked around hotels with her baby daddy before she called off her relationship.

In her post, Zari went all out in terms of throwing shade especially now that most of these slay queens remain inactive on social media. Through her Instagram stories the Ugandan business lady based in South Africa wrote;

Zari the boss lady

Mahotel yange fungus, we miss some slay queens. Kwani hamruhusiwi kupiga picha kwenu.

Stick to your lane

The lady went on to add that most of these women are often quick to claim that Zari fakes her lifestyle; yet after the pandemic hit they are the ones who disappeared from social media since they had no fancy rooms to parade on social media.

On the post Zari also added that she is blessed enough to pray for these women to also receive their blessings! She added;

See your life????????????????. God bless you too. Me I’m already blessed????????????????????????????????????????

Zari’s post

Zari quarantine schedule

Well since Zari is also at home like most people waiting for the lockdown to be lifted; the boss lady has been serving her fans with nothing but her work out schedule and healthy lifestyle.

Unlike most women on social media, Zari has been parading videos and photos from her workout session as she is committed to achieve her body goals!

Zari calls out media blog for false reports

Apart from this; she also spends a lot of time with her boys who appear to be grown men now despite being minors! Indeed we can agree that the lady is blessed to have her soldiers doing just fine!

Why Wema Sepetu will not be adding extra weight anytime soon

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Wema Sepetu shocked many back in 2019 after her sudden weight loss that left many wondering whether she had a serious illness!

Others claimed that she had flown to ndia for Bariatric Surgery; which is known lead to significant weight loss and also help improve many obesity-related conditions.

Wema Sepetu before weight loss

Truthfully no one understands how Wema Sepetu shed off the unwanted weight which seems to have disappeared over night.

Sudden weight loss

However according to popular Tz tabloid, Wema did not have it easy while losing all the unwanted weight.

She apparently got to a point where she almost gave up as the medication she was receiving had left her feeling quite week.

However, barely 3 months into her weight loss journey, Wema Sepetu started showing positive results as she had lost a huge amount of weight!

Fans pleads with Wema do add weight

Well, despite her fine figure and curved body, a few of her fans have been asking Wema to out on just a little weight to bring back her old image!

Wema

The lady however responded telling her fans that she would never put on extra weight!

Probably this is because she faced one of the toughest moments as a ‘BBW’ – and is not willing to get back to those days when she lost her self esteem. Through her Instagram page the lady talked about this saying;

Wema on weight loss

According to Wema, she is now in love with the person she has since become. She revealed this on her Instagram story where she posted saying;

“We met when none of us was married…” Denno recounts his shared journey with Bahati as EMB closes shop

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

In what has been labelled ‘the end of an era’, EMB records has set free all its signees inclusive of Weezdom and Denno.

Bahati and Weezdom have so far reacted to the unforeseen shutdown and it is now time for gospel singer Denno to give his last words as well.

Through Bahati’s YouTube channel, the ‘Story Yangu’ singer gave an account of his journey in and out of the record label.

My journey in music hasn’t been so easy and I think that’s part of life.

Gospel artist, Denno

Adding:

I am not someone who looks at my situation but where I am headed, the dreams and visions that I have. I don’t let anyone look down upon me because I am determined and I have been called to serve.

Recalling his music journey that started in 2012/2013 before going under in 2014/2015.

He refrained from sharing his journey, attesting that his story is not really new to anyone, having reiterated it time and again.

Friendship

It all started when:

I met Bahati in 2016 and he have been friends, still are but also now family. We met when none of us was married and have walked a long journey together ever since, through which, we shared a lot.

Bahati (right) with Denno (left)

However, soon after releasing ‘Story Yangu’ after meeting Bahati, times got tough and the gospel singer went under once more.

Bahati then went out to look for Denno after he disappeared and he remains thankful to him.

He believed in me and I found myself working under EMB record label. They have not just been 8 months, they have been 8 great months. At EMB, I was well received, we did a lot of music, interacted with everyone and I looked up to more of such days.

The Bahatis with Denno’s young family

Denno said he cannot compare today to before he joined EMB because the growth has been tremendous.

I have done 4 good songs.

EMB Shutdown

However, when Bahati revealed to him that he was going to shutdown EMB, it really disappointed him but he respects the singer’s decision.

EMB, Denno revealed, has been a blessing to him, not just in his music but for his family too.

Ex-EMB signee, Denno

Bahati has a couple of times revealed his intentions to support Denno’s wife’s business.

Within the short time I had, I have been blessed and EMB has created a strong impact and bond with my family. Even my wife has benefited even though it was not part of the contract. We are now family with the Bahati’s. I pray that God really blesses Bahati, his family and his endeavors.

As he trusted:

Even as I leave EMB, I know I have family, I have friends that I can count on and it is a gesture that my family and I will forever place in our hearts.

Singer, Denno

To his loyal fans:

I say thank you, thank you for the great support you have shown me even when I hit rock bottom. And I still pray for your support as I begin my new journey.

Those were Denno’s, real names, Dennis Kariuki last words as he bid goodbye to EMB record label.

“ARVs, thinned my legs, flattened my bum and enlarged my chest,” HIV/AIDS activist, Phenny Awiti confesses

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

We need to agree that even celebrities and public figures are humans who get emotional as well.

Body shaming has been one form of cyber-bullying that has seen some conquer the world while others only got downtrodden by the negativity.

HIV/AIDS female activist, Phenny Awiti suffered a blow when ARVs thinned her backside and legs.

Phenny Awiti

Sharing with fans and followers, the mother of 3, penned a long account of the effects testing positive for HIV had her suffer.

Phenny, who discovered she was positive while still in high school, had to use ARVs to contain her condition.

Setbacks

Unfortunately though, the side effects of these drugs is a condition she termed ‘lipodystrophy’ that distribute fats around the patient’s body.

Where some fats of the body are thinned or increased because of the effects of the combination used.

HIV/AIDS activist, Phenny Awiti

She now had to get used to thinned legs, a heavy chest and an almost ‘not there’ behind.

That ass was there????, for those who knew me way back in high school. But when I began taking ARVs, it flattened my ass, increased my boobs and thinned my legs.

It took time for her to get used to her sudden body changes and embrace every part of her being.

That’s why I flaunt my cleavage and if I can, put on the high heels.

Putting up a photo when she was still insecure of her body change, she admitted:

I had to hide my legs for so long, and even in this photo, I have “pushed” my bum bum up. I don’t have them in real life????

Self-confidence

Phenny told fans HIV is a journey and the changes that come with it, are immense.

12 years down the line, she finally got her confidence back disclosing she doesn’t fake it anymore.

Right now I am confidently rocking anything anywhere without feeling ashamed and I never “fake” the bums. But trust me, that is after twelve solid years starting the ARVs and of being shocked and questioning where my bum bum and somehow fleshy legs went to.
Living your truth? Keep up!

Mother of 3, Phenny Awiti

The very same gospel artistes who turned me against Bahati, took off when I needed them – Weezdom finally speaks out

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Ex-gospel artist, Weezdom has decried the hate and hypocrisy in the gospel industry that has seen Bahati shut down his EMB record label.

The Kenyan artist gave a recount of his journey since Bahati signed him into his label, to this very day, when he has received both love and hate in equal measure.

Bahati (left) with Weeezdom (right)

Recount

2015, Bahati took up Weezdom from the streets of Mathare – where he worked as a garbage collector – mentored him and signed him into his record label, EMB, as his first signee.

The reception the former gospel kid received soon after his debut, was one of a kind, winning awards and getting nominations from fans.

Kenyan artist, Weezdom

A year later, in 2016, Weezdom quit EMB records under the influence of fellow gospel artistes, who did not like Bahati and therefore turned Weezdom against him.

Unfortunately, soon after he walked out of the door, the very same gospel musicians who had turned him against Bahati, were nowhere to be seen.

This forced the singer to return to his former ways, as a garbage collector in Mathare.

Weezdom

At the time, he made so many friends, reconciled with those who had wronged him and those he had wronged and he felt that Bahati needed an apology as well.

I made so many new friends in the gospel industry, who would cheer me up and call me every time, I rose against Bahati. When I was building all these stories against Bahati, they told me I was the only person who could speak against Bahati.

His return

So 3 years later, in 2019, Weezdom asked Bahati for forgiveness, who openly welcomed him back and forgave him for being misled.

It was a tough decision for him to make but Bahati forgave me like his brother, reminding me how we started at EMB together. ‘EMB is your home and always will be, come back home and let’s work together’ Bahati told me.

It has been 7 months now since Weezdom’s return but it felt like a decade for him. The trolls, the backlash, the hate, proved too much for him to bear.

Weezdom

According to him though, all the trolls he was facing was because of getting back with his former Boss, Bahati, whom he was initially supposed to turn against.

The gospel musicians and the multiple friends he had made, during the three years away from EMB, now turned against him as well.

Bahati (left) with Weeezdom (right)

This left him puzzled, confessing that at times, he would receive backlash from people who were targeting Bahati.

It has really hurt me to see that artistes signed under EMB, lack a certain kind of support because they are at EMB. A good example is Denno who was gifted a car by Bahati but many took it as a show of wealth. I have never seen, not even one gospel artist support Denno or Bahati whether for music or anything.

EMB shut down

Weezdom recalled how when Bahati told me he wanted to disband EMB, it not only disappointed him, it felt like a blow.

I felt it was going to be a big blow to the gospel industry, to see such a well-established record label close shop, yet it has helped so many young artistes to achieve success.

Weezdom

He however accepted his Boss’ decision basing on the fact that his helping hand only yielded him hate, backlash and pain.

Instead of getting support from his fellow artistes, Bahati was instead blasted and it felt like he was doing this alone.

By the time Bahati told me about the shut down, as an artist, I just felt I was standing in an industry where my fellow artistes hated me even though I loved them. However, I believe my relationship with God does not lie in my music but in my heart.

Weezdom apologized to his fans for quitting gospel music

I will no longer be releasing songs and I have quit the Kenyan gospel industry, because of the hatred, the depression, the hypocrisy by those I respect. To my fans, I love you, thank you for the support.

Ex-gospel artist, Weezdom

He dismissed any speculations that he was turning into a secular artist even though he was quitting gospel.

Weezdom however failed to disclose his next venture after EMB shutdown but expressed deep gratitude to his mentor, Bahati.

Fresh details on Ruth Matete’s late husband emerge

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Ever since Ruth Matete’s husband demise, a lot of controversy has surrounded the incident.

It now arises that the late Pastor Belovedjohn did not want his family back in Nigeria, to be informed about his burn injury.

Ruth Matete’s lawyer, Robert Odanga told the Sunday Nation that the deceased had requested his gas explosion accident remain a secret, to avoid ‘worrying’ his family.

He requested her not to tell his family what happened because he did not want them to get worried.

Singer, Ruth Matete with late hubby, Belovedjohn Apewajoye

Mr Odanga however stated that the Nigerian pastor was in communication with his family, having talked to his brother, within the first week since the incident.

Belovedjohn assured his family he would recover and all would be well, just before things got worse.

In his first week in hospital, he video called his brother to assure the family that he was on the road to recovery. That was before his wounds became septic and his kidney’s started failing.

Former couple, Ruth Matete and Pastor Belovedjohn

His unstable condition saw him breathe his last on Saturday, the 11th of April.

According to the lawyer, Belovedjohn’s family was informed on his passing on.

They were aptly informed when he died.

Matete’s lawyer divulged that his client had informed her hubby’s family that he was being treated for appendicitis.

Further revealing that the Pastor’s family breathed fire for being misinformed about his condition, but they eventually understood.

Vincent Korir, the Athi River DCI chief, said no charges will be filed against the singer, until postmortem results are out.

Nigerian Embassy

Meanwhile, Nigerian High Commission in Nairobi stopped any postmortem tests from being conducted on him, after allegations that the singer was a suspect in his death.

The Nigerian embassy had last week held Apewajoye’s remains at the Kenyatta National Hospital morgue.

However, Nigerian High Commissioner, Mahmoud Lawal told the Nation that they will no longer present an independent pathologist for the postmortem exam.

The embassy said it will instead rely on information presented to them by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).

A postmortem scheduled for today, with the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority to make a report so as to determine any foul play.

Ringtone offers Willy Paul half a million days after their online beef!

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Ringtone and Willy Paul’s online fight is becoming monotonous and fans feel that it’s about time these two either released a song; or joined a Chama with fellow male socialites in the country.

Secular artist; Willy Paul

For some reason the two have been throwing shade at each other on Instagram; and rumor has it that they could be working on a new project set to be released soon.

So far we have seen Ringtone offer Ksh 50,000 to anyone who will be able to bed Willy Paul’s sister or cousin. He went on to add that the money will only be paid after the proof is shared on social media – just to keep Willy Paul at his place.

Willy Paul’s clap back

Well, unlike Ringtone – singer Willy Paul went all out throwing insults just to keep the beef going.

As far as faking is concerned, Willy Paul seems to be taking things a-bit too far; and now some fans are no longer feeling this vibe.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_E-N7UnfKD/?igshid=15ww2haf0z0d7

Ringtones last offer

Ringtone has issued his last offer through his Instagram where he has promised to give Pozee Ksh 500,000 just to pull down his evil song. The controversial singer wrote;

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_O_rGBpU2y/?igshid=uo5tgoqmeqri

DEAR @willy.paul.msafi AM OFFER 500000K KSHS ($5000) TO REMOVE THE EVIL SONG WITH NADIA MUKAMI AND DO A BETTER SONG????????????????????

Pozee featuring Nadia

For almost two weeks now Willy Paul and Ringtone have breathing down each other’s necks because of ‘Hallelujah.’

Pozee says he will release whatever he wants but Ringtone accuses him of using a Christian word in an improper way!

Ringtone denied and dumped baby mama – Weezdom reveals

But all in all a reliable source has gone ahead to confirm that Pozee and Ringtone are actually good friends off social media; and have been doing this to entertain fans from both camps!

If this is true then I guess all the money being ‘thrown’ around on social media is just another scam to prove that money is not a problem!

“Is your greed for ratings that bad?” a disgusted Tedd Josiah scolds Ethic’s new release ‘soko’

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Creativity levels have seen the birth of a new generation of artistes in Kenya, gengetone whose content, despite being music to the ears of the youth, has been bashed for obscenity.

Not once, not twice, not thrice, have Kenya’s gengetone artistes been censured for producing music content that advocates for violence against women and girls, use of vulgar words and advocating for immoral behavior.

Currently, KFCB Boss, Dr Ezekiel Mutua is on the case of boy band Ethic, championing for their immediate arrest following their newest video release ‘soko’ which he labeled ‘despicable’.

Tedd Josiah

He is not the only one criticizing their X-rated content but veteran music producer, Tedd Josiah is now on their necks.

Through his Instagram page, the father to a young daughter castigated Ethic’s track ‘soko’ that advocates for sexual intimacy with young girls.

Kenyan artistes, let me tell you something, it is time we address the kind of content you are producing. You start talking of rape among young children, because it is like there is nothing else to talk about from gengetone artistes.

Tedd Josiah with daughter, Jay Jay Wendo

Blasting:

And we have seen the record label’s logo. So now you think you are the greater than all of us because you are the only ones familiar with sheng? Right?

He warned the boy band and its producers for just igniting a fire they might never be able to put off because all eyes are now on them.

Gengetone artistes, Ethic

Calling them out for painting a bad image of music artists in Kenya, all because of their greed for ratings and their inconsideration of musicians who actually follow the Law.

Well, you are only making matters worse because the same government we are trying to reach, in order to support our art and pay us royalties, are not even going to take any action with your kind of content.

Wacheni kuchoma picha! It’s like pouring acid on the same seed you expect to grow into a plant.

Questioning:

Are you in need of ratings that bad? Is it that bad really?

Young children

Tedd, who doubles up as a mother and father to his young daughter, was just irked by the vulnerability Ethic had placed on young girls and thinking of his, he couldn’t take it.

If you had a small kid and you hear someone advocating for the rape of young children, how would you feel? I just want to ask you that question.

Veteran music producer, Tedd Josiah

Declaring:

Because I am telling you, I swear, try that with me! I am ready to go to Kamiti if anyone dares that with my kid!

The popular music producer had no problem with music artistes growing their brands, but he was not going to support artistes whose greed for the limelight blinded their morals.

And for any artist who propagates for such kind of malicious acts, I will call them out straightforward. I’m all about freedom of speech, I’m all about, say what you wanna say, but honestly, draw the line sometimes because you have just ruined your legacy.

Father of one, Tedd Josiah

Moral cop, Dr Ezekiel Mutua came across Tedd Josiah’s angry rants and lauded:

This powerful message from veteran music producer to Gengetone artistes represents the disgust and consternation of every responsible Kenyan. Advocating for defilement of children is crossing the line. That’s not art. It’s crime and it’s immoral.

Closing off:

Wosia wa Babu. . . There’s no better way of addressing the subject. Thank you @TeddJosiah for this powerful message

Back like he never left! Mulamwah bounces back a week after quitting comedy

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Kenyan comedian, Mulamwah has announced his comeback barely a week after quitting the comedy art in a move that saw him take down his signature shirt.

However, the kind of support he has received since then, has forced him back on his toes.

I have tried giving up but who are Kenyans? The kind of support I have been given on social media is crazy.

Comedian Mulamwah

Funny enough, he took the mean comments as a light moment for him to just shed away the pain and find peace in his heart.

I have received massive support and it has dawned on me that it’s not always about me but the love from fans whom I inspire. Even as I leave comedy, it might be a personal decision but it ends up affecting many more people.

He expressed deep gratitude to all whom offered him support, naming the few personalities that went the extra mile to hold his hand.

I wanna personally thank Jalang’o who encouraged me on the comments section and DM-ed me telling me it shall be well. Also, I thank Akothee, Madam Boss, she stood out, lamented and spoke for everyone. I received encouragement from the likes of Kalekye, MC Jessy and even Tanasha Donna who took her time and urged me not to give up.

Mulamwah

Further revealing he received a lot of calls and even comments from Kenyans on social media, really encouraged and supported him.

Clarifying:

Mimi nijinyonge, kwani mimi ni mjinga? Shingo ya Mluhya haitumikangi kwa vitu za ujinga kama kujinyonga.

He thanked all who came through for him during his down time and apologized for the calls he was not able to pick because they were too many.

Dr Ezekiel Mutua

Sharing that one call that stood out:

There is this one that came from Kenya Films and Classification Board (KFCB) from the CEO Dr Ezekiel Mutua.

Media cop, Dr Ezekiel Mutua

Laughing about it:

I got scared when they told me they are the police and I thought burning a shirt was illegal, I almost took off.

Admitting that his call with the KFCB chief executive lifted his spirits and promised him of a better tomorrow.

But they told me they are from KFCB and ‘we just wanted to reach out to you, to give you encouragement and if possible, maybe to work with you in some other parameters later on’ and that really lifted my spirits. Personally I spoke to Dr Ezekiel Mutua and he gave me hope, encouraged me and told me that is not the end of life, but the beginning.

Comedian, Mulamwah

Disclosing that the media ethics chief-whip stated it is time artistes produced clean content for consumption by the society.

But talking to a public figure is work. the number of ‘yes sirs’ I said, were just too much.

Affirming:

There is no bad blood between Mulamwah and anyone and we continue to fight the battle. There is no giving up, we are not giving away our victory.

The comedian said he will still be around on screens, adverts, a couple of programs he has signed contracts with as well as his YouTube channel and social media platforms.

Zari Hassan following in Wema Sepetu’s footsteps!

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Zari Hassan has proven to be slowly keeping up with the Tanzanian entertainment news! This is probably how she learnt about Harmonize’s new song ‘bedroom’ that has seen the singer make headlines in East Africa.

However, unlike before Harmonize’s songs seem to be catching up slowly; and word making rounds on social media is that fans stopped keeping up with him after he left WCB!

Looking at his numbers on YouTube it’s also evident that Harmonize is no longer hitting millions like he used to back in the day.

Zari Hassan on bedroom

However thanks to the likes of Zari Hassan, Harmonize might just get back on his feet. The Ugandan business-lady based in South Africa late last night went on to share a clip listening to Bedroom by Harmonize.

In her caption Zari made it known that she was in love with the song probably to prove a point.

She wrote;

@Harmonize_tz great song!

Zari

Wema Sepetu

This comes barely a week after Wema Sepetu held an interview with Harmonize on her new show dubbed Cooking with Wema.

From her posts, Wema Sepetu made it clear that her love for Harmonize has always been there despite her differences with the CEO of WCB!

She went on to mention that ‘Bedroom’ was also a special song; and not just the audio but visuals which brought life to the music video.

Put some respect on my name

Also just a few day’s ago Ms Sepetu blasted a Kenyan tabloid for referring to her as Diamond Platnumz Ex!

According to Wema, it is better for bloggers to keep her out of their mouths than refer to her as; ‘so and so’s ex’ yet she has names likes Miss Tz 2006 or others that describe her better!

Well judging from how well Sepetu’s cooking show is currently doing; then I bet that the queen is back to reclaim her thrown in the entertainment industry and just like before Wema will soon take back what belongs to her!

Watch: The deplorable state of the quarantine facility that Eko Dydda was forced into

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Popular gospel rapper, Eko Dydda was allegedly forced into quarantine for 14 days following his arrest on Saturday, April 18th while trying to get blood pressure medicine for his wife.

According to the police, the singer was arrested for violating curfew but no one really cared to listen to or even understand why he was out past curfew hours.

The rapper was actually out to get medication for his ailing wife, Sylvia Dydda but while on his way home, his car got a puncture at 6:30 pm that delayed him until 6:50 pm.

Speaking to Nairobi News, Ms Sylvia shared:

He went to the pharmacy near our neighborhood, in the late afternoon, but he couldn’t find the medication. He then decided to drive to Nairobi CBD where he found and bought the medication.

Gospel artiste, Eko Dydda with wife, Sylvia Dydda

He reached the roadblock at 7:10 pm but his efforts to explain himself, fell on deaf ears, warranting his arrest that saw him spend the night at Kilimani police.

The following morning, he paid his bail but on asking for a receipt, he was instead taken into forced quarantine.

His wife, Sylvia confirmed the details sharing:

The first time, he compiled. It was late, and there was a roadblock. I inquired of the police officers if it was legal for a car to be towed if the owner had neither declined to drive the car now was it broken down.

Eko Dydda

And she was answered:

The police officer, however, told me that they had their breakdowns ready and all the cars were towed. They arrested almost 50 people.

Mrs Dydda further disclosed that her hubby was arrested twice before he was forced into quarantine.

Forced quarantine

As reported by Boniface Mwangi, one of the cops behind the artiste’s arrest affirmed:

Eko paid us Ksh10,000 and insisted on a receipt. Now he will pay the government Ksh28,000.

Gospel rapper, Eko Dydda

Before declaring:

Where do you think our money will come from? It comes from the citizens. I will teach him a lesson.

The award-winning rapper questioned:

It’s insane to tell a common mwananchi to pay Ksh 28,000 for the 14 days in COVID 19 quarantine.

The ‘Tawala’ singer was seemingly going to get it rough from the authorities for asking for his rights.

Facility

Talking of his conditions at the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) quarantine facility where he has been placed, the artiste sadly expressed:

It feels like they brought us here to get infected.

Rapper, Eko Dyyda

Sharing a clip of the deplorable state of the quarantine facility – through activist, Boniface Mwangi – Eko Dydda divulged:

The KMTC quarantine is like a dormitory but with individual cubicles. We are sharing toilets and bathrooms.

Further revealing that in the event that after the 14 days of quarantine, a number of people test positive, then they shall be detained for another 14 days…and I guess the cycle continues.

We have been told we shall be tested after 14 days and if one or two people are found to be positive, all of us shall be held in quarantine for another 14 days.

“FAKE always gets exposed eventually” Tanasha savagely trashes Diamond’s women empowerment bid

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Diamond’s WCB record label signed in a new female artiste, Zuchu a week ago in what he labelled  ‘women empowerment’ but that didn’t sit well with Tanasha.

The single mother had called out Diamond for being a ‘narcissist’ – rude, insensitive, cruel, controlling and one who uses intimidation to disregard other people’s feelings.

The 24-year old went ahead to warn women against such kind of men because that would be ‘like dancing with the devil’.

Model, Tanasha Donna

Zuchu

Well, as the WCB Boss signed in the new female vocal, he showered Zuchu with praise for raising Wasafi’s bar in the industry higher.

Acclaiming her as the first female artist under his label to garner 100k YouTube subscribers, in barely 7 days.

Thank you for Helping @officialzuchu to set the Record of being the first New African artist to reach 100K Youtube Channel Subscribers within 7 Days…this is more than Love

Naseeb went ahead to describe Zuchu as a living testimony that ‘if empowered, women can achieve’.

and it improves that Women they can if they are Empowered. On behalf of her i would like to thank you all for the Love and Major Support….

Tanasha

Unfortunately, Tanasha had her eyes wide open and ears on the ground and she was not going to sit back and watch her ‘narcissist’ of a baby daddy, preach water and drink wine.

Kenyan songbird, Tanasha Donna

The mother of one previously disclosed that Diamond wanted her to drop her music career and focus on being a housewife but she outrightly declined.

The irony here is how Chibu is now ’empowering’ women, yet the very women in his life, have come out teary and broken.

Bongo Flava superstar, Diamond Platnumz

Taking to social media, the Kenyan singer blasted:

It makes me cringe to see wastemen preach “women empowerment”

Cautioning Diamond to tread carefully before he trips and his world comes down crumbling.

FAKE always gets exposed eventually. Like fake bags, fake jewellery, it will last a couple of days. Maybe weeks or months, but eventually everyone can see its FAKE.

Tanasha Donna

According to the commercial model, it made absolutely no sense that Diamond was busy ’empowering’ his new female signee, yet, he is the ‘devil’.

The Kenyan beauty believes the bongo superstar is just living double standards, that will one day blow up on his face.

“Kibe is my homie, he’s a rider!” Kamene Goro recalls the day Andrew Kibe sent her Ksh 1000 to get to work

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

KISS 100 radio presenters, Kamene Goro and Andrew Kibe have been bosom friends ever since till date, something that is manifested in their daily life.

Kibe has come through for Kamene in so many ways, if her past and recent revelations are anything to go by.

During her recent InstaLive session with Classic 105’s Mike Mondo, Kamene described just how much Kibe has been of assistance in her life.

KISS 100 radio presenters, Andrew Kibe and Kamene Goro

When all she needs is just but fare to get to work, Kibe doesn’t think twice about it. That is the best it gets!

The curvy radio girl confessed:

Kibe is my homie, I love him so so much guys. He’s a rider.

Adding:

You don’t know how you’re going to get to work guys and all you need is just Ksh 1,000. Let me tell you, Kibe will come through for you.

Kamene Goro and Andrew Kibe

Set standards

Kamene and Mike were discussing just how much they are expected to live ‘this kind of life’ where standards have already been set and imperfection is not option.

The Classic 105 radio presenter bashed:

Because for us there’s an expectation to meet a certain social identity of some sort. Like, you’re supposed to be that person that people are looking up to.

Classic 105’s Mike Mondo

Kamene equally trashed societal ‘set standards’ with her middle finger raised high.

To describe that they are still humans regardless of their careers, Kamene shared her story when she had just quit NRG radio for KISS 100.

I remember I had left NRG radio and I’d just signed with Radio Africa. My dream had come true. I moved into my new house and that same day I had an accident in the house and Boom! I had to be in hospital.

Unfortunately, the offer at the table was not as silver as it looked, especially soon after NRG stopped her and co-host, Andrew Kibe from proceeding on air at KISS 100.

Kamene and Kibe

Their life was hanging on a balance, with an unassured employment on one hand and a court case on the other.

So I had one surgery, I had the second surgery, by the time I had surgery number two, it had already cost me so much. At that time, NRG has taken me to court, I have not even gone on air with KISS FM.

No source of income yet, no guarantee of an employment.

Making matters worse, Kamene had injured her leg and was dishing out money she was not getting back, in surgeries.

So who is still paying me? Do you know your whole life is in hanging on the balance of two totally different individuals. I kept asking ‘when are we going on air?’ Because when you go on air, is when your safe. Once you’re on, you can’t be asked out.

“Focus on your music and forget the sideshows” Arrow Bwoy responds to Nadia Mukami’s dating reports

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Kenyan artistes, Nadia Mukami and Arrow Bwoy have made headlines about their relationship that died down before anyone could even get wind of it.

Nadia has previously denied dating the artiste especially after the rumors sparked following their ‘Radio Love’ hit release.

Arrow Bwoy on the other hand has never really come out to address the reports.

‘Radio Love’ hitmakers, Nadia Mukami with Arrow Bwoy

Well, it turns out that the two actually dated and broke up behind closed doors. During her interview with NTV’s Anto Neosoul, the pop star stated:

He’s an amazing friend, we tried dating, it didn’t work out.

Arrow Bwoy

Reports that Arrow Bwoy seemed to be uninformed about during his recent interview with NTV’s Amina Abdi Rabar on the 18th of April.

First, the ragga dancehall artiste appeared uninterested with the topic about him dating Nadia.

Arrow Bwoy
Arrow Bwoy

Second, the topic changed his mood and tone, shifting gears and starting to channel advice Nadia’s way.

I’ll give some advice to Nadia Mukami. She’s one of the vibrant female artists in East Africa. She has so much potential in raising our Kenyan flag high. However, she can only reach these heights once she channels all her energy into her craft.

Ali Yusuf, popularly known as Arrow Bwoy acknowledged Nadia’s prowess in the music craft but insisted that sideshows were not going to take her anywhere.

Aachane to na hizi sideshows, hazileti shangwe yaani. Because the Nadia I know is the one I did a collabo with and I love the fact that she is a go-getter and all I know is that she has so much potential.

Kenyan sweetheart, Nadia Mukami

To Nadia:

Piga tu kazi. I’m your fan. Forget these other sideshows.

Amina tried getting him back on track to answer the question asked: Did he ever date Nadia or not? but Arrow Bwoy responded that Nadia was probably just attracting attention at the time of her interview with Anto Neosoul.

Basing on the fact that she had just released her track, probably she was just drawing traffic to her new jam. That is just not her. I’d advise her to forget the sideshows and focus ahead because her new track was good and she is a hard-hitter.

Nadia Mukami

Wrapping up:

Mi nampenda. I just want her to focus on what’s important – music.

In the end, the singer kept dodging the ‘yes’ or ‘no’  question. Probably, he just never wanted the dating story between him and Nadia out in the public.

Interview

The end of an Era! Bahati officially shuts down EMB record label, he explains why

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

EMB record label is no more, an announcement made by founder, Bahati. The trolls, the hate, the backbiting have seen the gospel artiste close shop and venture into something different.

Bahati started EMB to support gospel artistes and evangelize the word of God to masses. Unfortunately, the same people he helped, later came back to fight him.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, the family man expressed deep sorrow of the ills of the gospel industry especially in the last 2 years.

Gospel artiste, Bahati

He adds that when his haters felt that the backlash he was receiving was not ‘enough’ they decided to take it a step further and instead launch attacks on his wife, Diana Marua.

Fortunately, the trolls only helped garner her more followers on social media.

Diana Marua

End of an Empire

Making his declaration, Bahati formally announced:

So today, I made one of the toughest decisions. And… that is…I am closing down EMB record label. This means I am officially terminating all the contracts I had with artistes and that is Weezdom, Denno and other new artiste that I was to support in 2020.

He revealed there was an artist from Rift valley he was set to sign into his record label but might no longer proceed with it.

EMB Founder, Bahati

The EMB record label CEO questioned:

What is the point of doing Ministry, while the same Ministry is being translated wrongly always, leaving you with a bad name. Is there any need to do this? Honestly speaking, in the last 2 years in Kenya, I have become one of the most talked about artist, receiving all the hate. But what is the need of receiving hate from the people I have supported from scratch?

It pained Bahati so deep to see that the same people he was feeding, were actually biting his hand.

Artistes who had grown into brands, through his assistance, would be the same people coming back to poke their noses in his business.

Gospel artiste, Bahati

He called out:

Wickedness! Pretenders! The Bible says ‘pretenders are worse than murderers’.

Speaking of the Kenyan gospel industry that has not being doing well in recent years, Bahati attested it all to the division among gospel artistes.

Cautioning that if gospel artistes failed to watch out, they would eventually get outshined by kinds like the young gengetone artistes today.

The gospel industry is not doing good. That’s why Willy Paul alituhepa. Gengetone itatake over kabisa because they are united.

Award-winning artist, Bahati

Justifying:

That is why I collaborate with the likes of gengetone artists, Mejja, rather than singing with a gospel artist dressed in sheep’s clothing.

Next venture

After dropping EMB record label, the father of 3 will now be taking up philanthropic acts.

As for Bahati, guys from now henceforth, I will not be signing any artist. Maybe 2021/22 when God gives me the grace. For now, I will be doing an official launch of Bahati Tena Foundation that will be dealing with street kids and orphans and it will be up and running soon. My biggest vision is to take as many street kids as possible, back to school. That’s my new ministry.

Brushing off that despite losing so much by terminating EMB, his new vision is way bigger and better.

You just fought this vision and God gave me a bigger vision. My children’s home will carry more than 2,000 kids.

Bahati
Bahati

And to his fellow gospel artistes:

Let’s cut that crap and go back to God.

Closing off:

The best is yet to come. I love you all, God bless you.

I questioned every person who came into my life and locked out many of them – Singer Avril opens up following dad’s demise

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Ever since the demise of her father, Kenyan music sensation, Avril locked out every man who came into her life.

The death of her dad made her so alert, so vigilant in who became a part of her and who needed to stay out of the door.

During her recent interview on Adelle Onyango’s podcast ‘Legally Clueless’, the proud mother of one opened up about her grief.

I questioned every person who came into my life claiming to love me. I locked out so many people. I think grieve gives you so much. It is like a sieve because you are very conscious of anyone coming into your life and the reason they are coming into your life.

Judith Nyambura Mwangi, better known as Avril

She would literally question every person who came into her life, trying to understand why exactly that person needed to be a part of the songbird’s story.

The grief helped her in equal measure as it probably tore her to bits. She might have become detached but so did it build her music career.

To a good extent, it helped me. It’s so weird but it fueled me back into the industry and that is when I did so much work and then again.

Kenyan songbird, Avril

Many at times we try to hide our grievances whether in our careers, our day-to-day hustles, in the smiles before the cameras but at the end of the day, we are human and we have our sad times.

Avril was not new to this. She tried to lock up her sorrows by hiding in her music career but it just wasn’t adding up.

She has feelings, she has her dreams, she needs a shoulder to lean on.

Avril

And music was unfortunately not that shoulder this time around.

Love life

She needed something else other than her career and that was – a person in her life.

So Avril started dating this one person, and still is.

She revealed that she bore a son with the man she currently is in love with and we don’t need to look far other than at veteran music director, Jibril Blessing.

I wanted something else away from my career. I decided to date this one person. I do have someone, I have a love interest in my life right now and we have a beautiful son but still, I go back to questions so much.

Avril with baby daddy, Jibril Blessing

However, Avril’s insecurity still reveals itself, because time and again, she questions her baby daddy’s love for her.

I keep on questioning so much about when the love, care, concern and how someone can just be unconditional with you. How does unconditional love work, how does one love without conditions? I am understanding that through the love that I have for my son, I can say he broke a very expensive vase that I have had since my dad passed on.

Well, the least we can do is wish her well in her love life.

“I just want to tell her sorry..” Mulamwah apologizes to Kamene Goro for body shaming her

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Comedian, Mulamwah has been trending for a better part of last week after setting his signature shirt on fire, but kinds like Kamene Goro were not going to let him get all the empathy.

The Kiss 100 presenter called out the Churchill show comedian for pretending to be getting cyberbullied and he could just not handle it anymore.

Kamene was if anything, shocked that Mulamwah could dare say something of the sort, while he is ‘the biggest bully she has ever met!’

KISS 100 presenter, Kamene Goro and comedian, Mulamwah

The radio girl recalled sometime back when she posted a photo with a friend of hers, sitted by the swimming pool rooftop at Kamene’s place.

Only for Mulamwah to hit back at them commenting: if the two of you get into the pool, all the water will pour out.

This kind of body shaming sure did not sit well with Kamene who has since then taken the issue for a grudge.

Curvy radio personality, Kamene Goro

And just when Mulamwah had become vulnerable online, she struck back.

We will not feel sorry for you as you have been doing it to people….somebody tell Mulamwah to take it like a shot of tequila. The shoe is on the other foot. Alarrrr just move!

Apology

Word reached the funny man and he came out to apologize for his harsh words to Kamene and her friend.

Sharing through his You Tube channel, Mulamwah opened up:

I just want to tell her sorry about that. And I see we are good. Hujaniblock sijamblock, tunalike maphotos so thank you so much.

Comedian, Mulamwah

Recalling how he tried to apologize to the radio personality at the time, but his efforts proved futile.

Mulamwah expressed deep regrets about his actions back then, because it seems Kamene has been holding onto the grudge ever since.

Nikaenda DM na nika apologize. Nilijaribu, like ushairequest msamaha kwa mtu? Like manze, I look up to those big people so nikiskia nimekosea ata anyone eii nafeel vibaya sana lika it wasn’t my choice. So nili DM nika DM but she was resilient and she couldn’t forgive.

“Leave me alone before I beat you up mercilessly!” Willy Paul threatens Ringtone

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Willy Paul and Ringtone are two controversial music thrones that have been in battle for a while now and the fire doesn’t seem to be dying down any time soon.

The Kenyan entertainment scene has witnessed a war of words between the two artistes whose legacies have sparked heated debate.

Over the weekend, Ringtone who dislikes Willy Paul’s pretense, asked his fans and followers to do him a favor – to get intimate with either Pozze’s sister, cousin or aunt.

Ringtone Apoko

This was to get back at Willy Paul so bad, because anyway, blood is thicker than water.

After the act, the video would be sent over to Willy Paul as evidence that his enemies were not asleep and vengeance time had come.

Well, what was in store for whoever beat the challenge? – a good Kshs 50,000 would be rewarded.

Further bashing Pozze’s ‘nikune’ jam:

Because this Willy Paul pretends that he knows how to sing, the kind of songs he wouldn’t wish that his sister gets involved in.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_H0hlHpDlN/

Response

Well, wind got to Willy Paul about Ringtone’s offer and this is what he had to say.

Fine, the man of God (Ringtone) has admitted that people need to have s*x. He claims that I have sang ‘nikune’ of which we haven’t said nikune nini… But he is now urging people to go and have s*x with my relatives. Surely!

Pretty puzzled by Ringtone’s daring move, Willy Paul said he has no beef with the ‘walionicheka’ singer but if things continue, Pozze threatened to beat up Ringtone.

Ringtone cheki! wherever you are, I don’t have an issue with you but with the way things are going, naona nikikutandika! Na itakuwa aibu sana, kijana wa juzi, mtoto wa Salome akikutandika like a burukenge.

Willy Paul

“I’m tired with you Ringtone, umenichosha! Leave me alone,” an irked Pozze continued.

However, the ‘nikune’ singer declared to Ringtone than not even his noise can stop the song from garnering the needed views.

#ringtone, mama bila leso…So this stupid man is still talking about me? Naona nikitandika huyu mkisii!! You are a disgrace to the Kisssiiii people!! Remember kelele yako haitazuia #nikune 

Kuenda.:: check the views and trend on YouTube alafu umeze wembe!!

I could cry every time I saw a baby – Mulamwah’s girlfriend confesses

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Churchill show comedian, Mulamwah recently gave up his career in comedy over trolls that saw his girlfriend suffer a miscarriage.

At just 3 months into pregnancy, Mulamwah and his lover, Caroline Muthoni lost their unborn baby.

Caroline alias Sonnie, narrated the aftermath of the ordeal that almost saw her lover sink into depression.

I remember when I tried to heal from this process. It was crazy. When I told Mulamwah about the news, he was depressed and he couldn’t even control himself.

Mulamwah with girlfriend, Sonnie

So bad was it, that every time she spotted a baby, her blood would boil.

I was just breaking down each and every time. I could cry when I see a baby. It was that bad.

It takes time to heal and currently, the comedian’s girlfriend disclosed she is gradually recovering and things are returning to normal.

Thanks to everyone who came to see me in the hospital. It means a lot.

Comedian, Mulamwah with girlfriend, Sonnie

Quitting comedy

However, Ms Carol divulged that she had had a talk with Mulamwah severally regarding his comedy career and had agreed he won’t quit.

Mulamwah with lover, Sonnie

It shocked her to find out later on that her lover had opted out, without even informing her.

When Mulamwah decided to quit comedy, I had no idea. We had the conversation countless time. We agreed that he wasn’t going to quit but he decided to do it anyway, without me knowing.

Despite it all:

We are even stronger that we were before. It is not easy and it can never get easier.

“I used to keep appearances and it got into my head” Janet Mbugua recalls her struggles with ‘perfection’

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Janet Mbugua is a force to reckon with in the media industry which has masses looking up to her, but she assured them of a share of imperfection as well.

Being in the limelight has often times compelled individuals to seek ‘perfection’ but Janet Mbugua strongly condemns it.

She faced struggles to become ‘perfect’ when she landed her job in the media industry, something she looks back at and warns people against.

Media girl, Janet Mbugua

Imperfection

Sharing this through her YouTube channel, the mother of two admitted:

I curse because I am human especially when I am pissed off.

Disclosing that never has she had intentions of hurting anyone.

That’s a good thing. I am also becoming very protective of my energy. I have had issues in the past of trying to appear too well put together and too sanitized, but maybe it wasn’t all for the wrong reasons. But mostly because of my TV job.

Acclaimed media personality, Janet Mbugua

Mrs Ndichu spoke to her mentees, urging them not to follow in her footsteps of ‘being perfect’ before the cameras because it did get into her head.

As a news anchor and TV personality, I need to keep up appearances and although I loved my job, I might have muddled it to the need to be perfect, which you don’t have to do. You get used to a certain level of how you are perceived.

Reiterating that she is human and has her fair share of flaws.

If you are looking at me to that level of being perfect, I would tell you to drop it. I don’t want you to have a version of me that is I am this all Mighty person who can’t do wrong.

Janet Mbugua

On a similar note, the seasoned journalist revealed she is on a journey of forgiveness although it takes times.

It is hard and there are some people I don’t want to forgive.

However, she does not let trolls sit on the same table she does because as a matter of fact, she tells them off in black and white.

I am not on earth to make everybody happy. I am good with that. You are coming into my space and spilling all kind of dirt and you expect me to be quiet? No, sometimes I won’t and I will go as far as blocking any negativity.

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Kenyan singer, Akothee marked her son’s 11th birthday, recounting how much she suffered, carrying a pregnancy that was rejected.

Akothee recalled how she met her ‘heartbeat’ – Prince Ojwang’s father back in 2008 at her restaurant in Shanzu THE STOMP 196, we they became friends before falling in love.

The mother of 5 was then invited over to Switzerland where she conceived Prince Ojwang, to her then lover, aged 48 years old.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SON ❤️
We both made a decision of having you my son. Back in 2008, I met your handsome dad , my heartbeat , my coro ????‍♂️????‍♂️ and my onion ????????????????‍♂️, at my restaurant in shanzu THE STOMP 196. We became friends/ lovers and later he invited me to Switzerland, we both agreed to have you @princeojwang .

Akothee with son, Prince Ojwang and his dad

The news of her pregnancy was received with jubilation, as the couple went out for dinner in preparation for parenthood.

We looked for you day and night in Switzerland, both of us were happy to have a baby boy. Your dad was 48 years old then, when I finally announced that the period went missing. ????????your handsome dad took me for dinner ,and we went into a new life of parenting

Unfortunately, 5 months later, tables turned and Akothee with her pregnancy, were no longer welcome into Switzerland and in her man’s heart.

until hell broke loose????‍♂️????‍♂️ when we were 5 months pregnant. I sneaked into Switzerland illegally to try fight for your space ,but all was in vein. Being afraid of being deported once they found out I had no correct documents to stick around in Switzerland. I had a schengen visa, and Switzerland was not schengen then ????‍♂️????‍♂️????‍♂️

Akothee with son, Prince Ojwang

Aftermath

Since that very day, Akothee went through hell and back, just to see her son live and survive the storm.

I have continously chopped onions day in day out, I have gone days without food and sleepless nights ,asking myself several questions , yes love dies ,or maybe he got bored , it took me time to accept that papa has nothing anymore to do with me, I kept hurting myself by sticking around thinking he would change and have us live as a family ????????????‍♂️ ????????????????,

Akothee with son, Prince Ojwang

It took her time to understand what exactly had happened to the man who had been so loving to her, only later to realize he needed his own space and the time to explore.

The black beauty then resorted to finding a new home, a new man to keep her mind sane and her heart warm.

Akothee with son, Prince Ojwang and his dad

Baby daddies

That is how, she ended up with two ‘white’ baby daddies – Papa and dad.

No ,I was wrong, papa was right ,Papa loves us yes,but he needed his space, papa was still young and needed to explore life, I understood this very late.so I had to find another Dad since life had to continue ????????????????, And that’s how we ended up with 2 fathers Papa & Dad

That is how Akothee’s two sons, Oyoo the Prince and Prince Ojwang hail from different fathers.

Akothee with her two sons, Prince Ojwang and Oyoo the Prince

Urging Prince Ojwang – the elder son – to just understand how he has a small brother – Oyoo the Prince, whom he needs to handle with care.

I love them equally , you see now you have a brother @oyootheprice even if he gives you headaches he is your younger brother handle him with care ????????????????❤, we still have our house in Switzerland, papa is taking care ,after Corona, we are going to stay with papa abit ,I guess he is missing us , we miss him too ????????????????,

Details: DCI detectives get involved in Ruth Matete’s late husband’s death

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Following the controversy surrounding Ruth Matete’s husband’s death, detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have since been at the scene of the gas explosion.

Thursday, the 16th of April, the detectives paid Ruth Matete a visit at her home where a gas explosion had her late husband suffer burn injuries.

The singer is reported to have led detectives, lawyer Robbert Odanga, scene-of-crime officers and officials from the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority, to the scene of the explosion.

Ruth Matete

The team collected exhibits inclusive of a gas cylinder and other samples to establish the root cause of the accident.

This is after Apewajoye’s alleged manager and friend, Jesse McJessy accused the singer of trying to cover up the cause of her hubby’s death.

Account

The Kenyan artist wrote a statement, to give an account of the happening of events on the fateful evening – 30th March at around 5 pm.

According to Ruth Matete, the late Belovedjohn sustained injuries while trying to light their 6kg gas cylinder, after a refill.

The late Belovedjohn

The gas was full and he had tried to release some of it.

Immediately after, he tried to light the gas and that is when it exploded.

The singer then started screaming and running towards the bedroom to get a duvet to cover her hubby who only had a pair of trousers on.

Pastor John was then rushed to Shalom hospital where he stayed briefly before being moved to the High Dependency Unit at Bellevue South hospital.

Here, he developed complications that had him rushed to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) on the 5th of April.

Gospel singer, Ruth Matete
