Goals! Mbosso surprises his parents with a new sleek ride worth millions

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Having been brought up by two parents who hustled all their lives to ensure their children don’t sleep hungry; Singer Mbosso is grateful for all the experiences that helped build the man he is today.

For those who don’t know; Mbosso’s childhood, teenage-hood and adulthood were not so easy since his parents did not have money to support a good lifestyle. However growing up in the ghettos contributed to his sharpness and ability to understand the power of money years later.

Mbosso with his mum and dad

Well, after promising his parents a brighter future now that his singing career is helping generate a few coins and here….the WCB artist  has been slowly fulfilling his promises as seen on his Instagram page.

Mbosso’s buys a home for his parents

Just like Diamond Platnumz, Harmonize among other celebrities Mbosso is now proud to announce that he recently bought a new home for his mum and dad! The singer announced the good news through his IG just a few weeks ago where he wrote;

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-OnU-WHMGB/?igshid=tse19rc3dviw

Alhamdulillah Rabbi Alaamin ????” nina Kila Sababu ya Kumshukuru Mwenyezi Mungu kwa kunipa nguvu na Mimi Ya Kutimiza ndoto hii niliyokuwa naiyota kila siku kwa ajili ya wazazi wangu ..” Leo hii Wazazi wangu wanaanza Kukaa kwenye Nyumba ambayo Mtoto wao nimewajengea Kwa Jasho langu, Asante Mola wangu ???? ” .. Pengine ni Kijumba Kidogo sana Kwa Wengine ila Kwangu ni Kitu Kikubwa sana Maana sikuwahi hata Kutegemea kama ipo siku na Mimi nitajenga hata Kibanda kwa ajili ya wazazi Wangu ” Wallah Sikuwahi Tegemea ???? “Allahu Akbar ” Mungu ni Mkubwa …
Asanteni kwa Kunisapoti, Asanteni Kwa Kuusapoti Mziki wangu , Asanteni Sana Maana bila Ya Nyinyi nisingeweza Kutimiza hili … “Naombeni Msiache Kunisapoti Kijana wenu , Bila ya Nyinyi Mimi si Kitu
#AsanteMziki #Wcb4life #Tamba

New car

With the new home already in his parents names, Mbosso now gifts his parents with a new car as seen on his Instagram page.

Mbosso gifts mum and dad with new ride

He went on to share the good news through his Gram where he also shared a few photos of his parents next to the car. The WCB singer went on to caption the photos saying;

Mwenyezi Mungu atutimizie ndoto zetu Vijana wote tunaopambana Kwa ajili ya Wazazi wetu na Kesho Yetu Pia ” Inshaallah ..
“Comment “Amini Inshaallah” kama unaamini Kuna siku utatimiza ndoto yako yakuwapatia zawadi Yoyote Wazazi wako ” ????

Well let’s hope that he will not be walking out of WCB anytime soon; since he will be forced to sell all these expensive gifts, just like Harmonize did to pay back Diamond Platnumz.

 

“Jaribu tu!” Kenyans dare Diamond Platnumz alleged gay friend to insult Tanasha Donna or her family!

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Juma Lokole who acts like Diamond Platnumz family spokesman will not be having an easy time on social media; if he decides to go after Tanasha Donna!

Well, he may be feared back in Tanzania thanks to his gossip skills; but Kenyans on social media don’t seem shaken or bothered by this as they are ready to bury him alive!

Juma Lokole

The alleged gay guy was among the first people to share a clip from Tanasha’s latest interview with True Love magazine.

Lokole planning to diss Tanasha?

He however went on to caption saying that he did not know understand the English Tanasha used; but promised to get back once he translated what Mama Naseeb was saying!

Through his Instagram page, Juma Lokole captioned the clip saying;

Tanasha Donna

Sijajuwa kizungu …… Ila wacha nitafute wanaojuwa wanitafsilie …….. Kisha narudi nae …… Nisipo elewa na mimi simwagiki

Kenyans warn Juma Lokole

With the caption above, it appears that Lokole felt ready to attack Tanasha Donna now that she is no longer with Diamond Platnumz!

However luckily for Tanasha Donna, Kenyans who happened to come across the post went on to defend one of their own!

As seen on the comment section, most Kenyans promised to bring both heaven and hell on Lokole’s page incase he was looking for war!

Tanzanians on the other hand went on to warn  Lokole not to try anything stupid; since they understand how ruthless Kenyans on social media can get.

Below are just a few comments left under Lokole’s page showing that despite Tanasha not being a big artist in Kenya, her people still stand with her.

“No more babies until I have a ring on it!” Tanasha Donna declares

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Kenyan personality, Tanasha Donna has been in two serious relationships so far and one lesson she has learnt, is to never spread her legs until she has a ring on it.

The commercial model who left for Tanzania early 2019, only to return but with a baby in her arms, does not regret any of it but her mistakes have taught her a lesson.

Up and close with True Love magazine, the 24-year old revealed she has been through the thick of relationships and is not going to test the fire any more.

Mother of one, Tanasha Donna

She loves too much and the minute it comes to an end, the wounds hurt too deep for her.

I have gone through a lot for a woman my age. Relationships have given me a dark mindset so for my next relationship, I have decided I am not fornicating until he puts a ring on it. I am working on rebuilding relationships. I am the kind of person who shuts out people I love.

Toxic

The young mother who previously opened up about her toxic relationship with Diamond, believes there are many more young women out here going through the same but lack the courage to walk out.

Admitting that her mum was never perfect but she at least taught the singer never to give up her dignity for material wealth.

A lot of young women out there may be caught up in toxic relationships and they don’t know and don’t want to leave. I want to speak to them. My mom wasn’t a perfect mom. No one is. But she taught me not to let money and material things replace my dignity as a woman.

Singer, Tanasha Donna

Reminding young girls who are busy eyeing the money out here, that ‘easy things never last’.

So many young girls out here are looking for sponsors or rich men. I am not going to say I was never tempted but easy things never last.

Tanasha is not a new name in the Kenyan celebrity world, having dated talented Kenyan film star, Nick Mutuma, before moving on with Diamond.

Diamond Platnumz (left), Tanasha Donna and Nick Mutuma (right)

Two relationships she describes as ones she gave her all, only to be disappointed. However, she has zero regrets.

I have been in two serious relationships in my life and I learnt something from these relationships. Never have regrets regardless. I would never say ‘Oh I regret this’. Everything happens for a reason and it’s always a lesson at the end of the day.

‘The less expectations one has when going into a relationship, the better it is for the individual’ she closed off.

One thing I have learnt is to never go into a relationship with expectations. They always lead to disappointment.

“All you Wasafi artistes seem to be s#x addicts” Queen Darleen calls out Lava Lava in new jam

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Queen Darleen and Wasafi’s own ‘Lava Lava’ are back on the music scene with ‘Bachela’. Just as the name describes it, the song is about Bachelorhood, with Lava Lava in support and Queen Darleen against it.

A song that gives the pros and the cons of bachelorhood. Lava Lava comes out in support of a free, youthful life while Queen Darleen bashes the multiple relationships most bachelors tend to engage in before they turn sour.

WCB artist, Lava Lava

The WCB first lady, who recently tied the knot early December 2019, flaunts of a healthy, comfortable married life.

Meanwhile, Lava Lava who is yet to marry, cites Tanasha and Diamond’s relationship as a good example of what rushing into marriage can lead to.

Ex-couple, Tanasha and Diamond

Bachelorhood

Darleen throws a bait in Lava Lava’s direction asking when he plans to tie the knot because the many good women around, might not be around forever.

Eti Lava utaoa lini? Mbona unazingua? Wazuri wengi mjini, wenzio wanachukua.

The female musician calls him out for changing girls everyday, each coming in a different package but at the end of the day, he remains single.

Lava Lava responds that he is waiting upon the Lord, to bless him in his time but for now, he is enjoying his bachelorhood.

Moyo wa kupenda sina, ya nini njipe homa. Doa majaliwa nasubiri apange Maulana. Atanitunukia, bado naula ujana.

Marriage

Darleen warns him of fooling around too much because everything he does has its consequences. Before flaunting how blissful marriage life is.

Ujana maji ya moto, utakunguza. Kwanza kuolewa raha. I am glowing, my husband owns the both of us.

Queen Darleen

The young artist instead came out to remind Darleen how her marriage to businessman, Isihaka Mtoro was constantly criticized.

On Instagram, you are being trolled that you took someone else’s husband because of money and you agreed to be a second wife…I’d rather be a bachelor.

Bashing:

Utanishauri nini? Wakati wangu ndo sasa. Mi mtoto wa mjini. Let me have fun, I don’t need stress right now. Kwanza naona mapenzi faida hayana.

The 26-year old artist went ahead to diss Tanasha and Diamond’s relationship that eventually went down the drain.

Ask Dangote (Diamond Platnumz), he argued with Tanasha and she unfollowed all of us.

Diamond and Tanasha Donna

New age

An irked Queen Darleen admitted that in relationships of nowadays, the minute you fight or have an argument, the news has already gone viral on social media.

Only for Lava Lava to defend that that is exactly why he is keeping his cool in matters, marriage.

Ndo mana nimetulia, navuta pumzi, staki kuenda mbio. There is no need to pretend I am a pro where I am not.

Lava Lava and Queen Darleen

Darleen even attacked WCB artistes for being s#x addicts.

Wasafi wote, inaonekana mnapenda ngono.

According to Vanessa Mdee, she chose to address this as assurance to fans that she will soon be back to making music; however just not anytime soon.

Break time

Vanessa Mdee who is currently living in the United States with her lover Rotimi revealed that she never took any break since her career began 13 year ago.

Vanessa mdee

But after meeting Rotimi and falling in love; she now feels that some time off music would do her some justice especially mentally and also physically.

Stuck with each other

What left many Tanzanians burying their faces in their hands is after Rotimi sneaked into the video then went on to say “Hatuachani!”

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-ctC4wApuv/?igshid=1tfh6hay2g9aj

Clearly this shows that Vanessa Mdee and Rotimi have already come across rumors claiming that their relationship will not last!

However, Rotimi makes it clear that he has no plans of leaving Vanessa Mdee and neither does she!

The actor who is popularly known for his role on Power series is undeniably handsome and if anything; he seems to be giving many women out here sleepless nights – but as for now he exclusively remains as Mdee’s main man!

Juma Juxx

After breaking up with his Asian girlfriend, Juma Juxx has lately been keeping a low profile on social media; and rumor has it that losing Vanessa Mdee changed hit him differently!

On the brighter side, at least he got a chance to enjoy Huddah’s company in Zanzibar a few weeks ago, right?

Why Tanasha plans to work on her relationship with ‘co-wives’ Zari and Hamisa Mobetto

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Diamond Platnumz ex, Tanasha Donna seeks to repair her relationship with the crooner’s other baby mamas: Zari Hassan and Hamisa Mobetto.

Not for her own good by any chance, but for the good of her son, Naseeb Junior whom she believes needs to grow up knowing he has siblings but from other mothers.

During her recent exclusive interview with True Love magazine’s boss, Carole Mandi, Tanasha explained how important it would be for the 4 children to bond.

In the case of the other siblings, I do eventually want him to grow up knowing his brothers and sister.

Diamond’s baby mamas:(from left) Zari Hassan, Hamisa Mobetto and Tanasha Donna

Having Naseeb Junior meet his other three siblings simply means the three women need to repair their relationship and get over the past.

However, the meet up might take time – until Tanasha is ready to come forward for some bonding.

So yeah, I see myself getting in touch with their mothers, eventually. When I’m ready and have them grow up together.

Reason why the model feels the children need to grow up knowing each other is just to take care of future events.

Because they may grow up hating us mothers for keeping them away from each other.

Diamond’s baby mamas:(from right) Zari Hassan, Hamisa Mobetto and Tanasha Donna

The mother of one clarified that all these plans are nothing but for the good of her son.

I’m here thinking about my son. No one else and what is strictly good for him.

Breakup

In light to her ugly split with the Bongo Flava artist, Chibu, Tanasha confessed her authentic love for the singer despite disbelief among masses.

I was genuinely in love. I was genuinely willing to give my all and go the extra mile. Even in business relationships. Everything I had in mind I was thinking of my family.

However, she declined to share more in regard to the same.

That is something I would like to keep private for now because that is something in the works.

Respeck! Khaligraph Jones boasts of newly acquired German beast [Video]

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

As Kenyans continue to feel the heat of the harsh economy, courtesy of the lethal COVID-19, rapper, Khaligraph Jones is busy splashing millions into luxurious cars.

Let’s be honest, if no one has been spared by the lockdowns globally, it must be the entertainment industry.

Music artists get to pocket thousands through concerts and gigs which simply translate into a mass gathering of people.

However, the current situation has seen artistes instead count losses with music tours put off and others even cancelled, worldwide.

Well, despite the storm that has struck the globe regardless of status, gender or age, Khaligraph Jones seems to be living in a world of his own.

Award-winning Kenyan rapper, Khaligraph Jones

As individuals, rush to supermarkets and the grocery stores to purchase basics like toilet paper, food, medicine..name it! Khaligraph savored the moment to welcome home his new ride – a big, black, German machine.

Taking to his social media accounts, the influential Kenyan rapper proudly flaunted his new black beast, shouting:

Onyesha gari buda! watu waone buda!

Khaligraph flaunts new ride

Slowly cruising the sleek ride, Jones wanted Kenyans to have a glimpse of what having good money feels like.

A four-wheel drive fuel guzzler, German technology – a 2014 Porsche Cayenne edition, , the OG could just not get over the feel.

Embarrassing moment when Kenyans squashed only chance given during Tory Lanez’ Quarantine radio tw*rking competition [Video]

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

It was Africa’s moment to get represented in Tory Lanez’ viral Quarantine radio competition, and guess where the map directed him towards, Kenya.

Some two girls engaged with the Canadian rapper and you could tell, they were over the moon once their video went live.

Quite head over heels for a live one-on-one video session with the American rapper, when asked where they hail from, they screamed ‘Kenya’.

Tory Lanez’ Quarantine Radio Live with Kenyan girls

A voice from the back blustered ‘We haven’t got time for this!’.

Just in case Tory Lanez could not figure out where ‘Kenya’ is, the girls quickly shouted ‘Africa’.

After connecting the dots, the rapper seemed excited by the revelation and this thrilled the two girls even more.

Before he could give them the stage to showcase their ‘skills’, Tory Lanez asked about their age.

But a voice in the background ranted ‘It doesn’t matter, they are from Africa’, sending the room into laughter. Ouch! That didn’t hurt!

Well, Tory Lanez still gave the girls a chance. One aged 23 and the other 25.

Chris Brown commented:

They kids. Oh sh*t.

Blown away

And with the ‘start’ button on, the girls quickly stormed the screen, shaking their behinds but Tory, looked taken aback, probably trying to figure out what exactly was going on on his screen.

Once the girls got exhausted, they loudly jumped in the air, yelling – thinking they had just hacked it!

Shaking his head, Lanez quickly switched them off, worryingly admitting:

I don’t know. It was looking too weird for me.

Tory Lanez’ Live Quarantine Radio

Another commented:

Nigga!! Next

Let’s head to the comment section. You probably already know what to expect.

Mixed reactions

Kenyans called out the two ladies for seeking too much attention but with nothing to offer.

Netizens felt that was utter disappointment and a total disgrace to the continent at large.

Nimeskia wakiulizwa what age are you then one of the guys in the background said it doesn’t matter they’re from Africa and I just….????????????????????

 

I feel embarrassed on their behalf

Take a look at what Africa had to offer in a Live session with over 114 k individuals viewing.

Trouble in paradise! Harmonize’s wife fed up and ready to leave

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

It’s not clear as to whether Harmonize’s wife is pregnant with their first child; but rumor has it that she could be and this is why he recently announced that she will not be tagging along during his shows.

Harmonize with Nicole Berry

However, barely than 6 months after their wedding Harmonize has been rumored to be warming his video vixens, Nicole Berry’s bed; an issue that left Sarah showing her ugly side at the middle of the night!

Turns out that Harmonize has not been home for a week now and is said to be living with Nicole Berry! Thanks to a video circulating on social media, Sarah is believed to have stormed to the video vixens home where she caused quite a scene!

Leaving for good

Although Sarah is not seen on the video shared on Instagram; Harmonize’s close friends have confirmed that the voice heard screaming and calling Nicole’s name is indeed Sarah’s voice.

Later on she went on to share a post suggesting that things between her and Harmonize were not okay. The relationship quote read;

Harmonize’s wife dumping singer

Unfollows Harmonize

So far Sarah has unfollowed her husband on Instagram and if the rumors spreading on social media are true; then Harmonize might end up being single this time around.

This might not be the first time Harmonize is accused of cheating on Sarah, but so far the lady has been forgiving her man; but seems that this is about to change judging from Sarah’s latest move.

Fake break up or is it over?

Promoting song?

Others however feel that Harmonize is using this move to help promote his latest project after fans take long to show their love like before!

Looking at how far he has come, Harmonize’s career seems to be lagging behind in terms of YouTube views. After leaving WCB, things on his side seem tricky but hopefully this too shall pass for his team.

City tycoon linked to Tanasha Donna, responds

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Early in the week, Tanasha Donna flaunted her soon-to-be home and for many, she was dating property tycoon, Mwenda Thuranira who now responds.

With a swanky mansion in the suburbs of Nairobi’s high-end estates, Tanasha Donna announced she will be moving into her newly acquired house in a few days.

Big things are happening in my life, I just got a house and I am moving in next week. I am so grateful to God for what he’s doing in my life. Great things are coming my way and next week you’ll see what I am talking about.

Tanasha’s new home

However, many linked city magnate, Mwenda Thuranira to the luxurious purchase, alleged to be the model’s sponsor.

Diamond’s Kenyan baby mama acquired the house through MySpace Properties which is owned by the 39-year old CEO.

The real estate agent indicated that the house is prime property, going for some good Ksh 60 million.

Tanasha Donna with Mr Thuranira

He however did not specify whether Tanasha bought the house or not.

While checking out the new house, Tanasha was spotted together with Mr Thuranira, something that fueled the speculations further.

Tanasha Donna with Mr Thuranira

The city tycoon was forced to respond to the claims of purportedly hooking up with the mother of one.

To curb the rumors from spreading any further, Mr Thuranira shared photos posing with his wife.

Mwenda Thuranira additionally describes himself as a:

Husband, father, mentor.

Critics have however not taken the move lightly.

Harusi ni lini? Eric Omondi talks wedding plans

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Eric Omondi is no longer young, especially not in his age and what worries many is whether he plans to age gracefully by someone’s side.

He affords the name ‘father’ having borne a son with media personality, Jacque Maribe but they are not married. All the pair does is share parenting responsibilities in the life of their son.

Moving away from Jacque, the gifted comedian also introduced Italian damsel, Chantal Grazioli to the world, in what seemed like a ‘happily ever after’.

Eric Omondi with Chantal Grazioli

Only for the lights to go off and before we knew it, Chantal was back to Italy while Eric was left behind in Kenya.

It was over and nobody nor anything was going to change that.

But unlike most celebrity relationships, the pair are currently best of friends and to top it up, Chantal and Jacque Maribe have knitted their friendship the more.

Jacque Maribe (left), Eric Omondi and Chantal Grazioli (right)

Marriage?

This only fueled the confusion further, leaving Kenyans unsure where Eric Omondi’s heart lies and who he desires to settle with in life.

His very own mentor, Daniel Ndambuki could also not fathom what was going on in the comedian’s life.

Mwalimu Churchill

During the most recent Churchill Show special edition dubbed ‘Eric Omondi’s journey’, Mwalimu Churchill asked Eric:

By the way, watu wanauliza harusi ni lini, so many people are asking.

Eric wittingly dogged the question, instead stating that if at all he were to hold a wedding, all Kenyans would have to attend it.

Harusi inakuanga Saturday. Most of them zinakuanga Saturday ukienda hapo Karen kuna harusi nyingi sana. Harusi yangu ni harusi ya Wakenya.

Comedian, Eric Omondi

However, this would necessitate a fundraising to cater for every head during his mass wedding.

Meanwhile, he confirmed that Miss Chanty is doing well.

Sasa hapa chini mnaeza eka ile kitu ya mtu kutuma pesa tuchange hii kitu ikue ni marriage yetu si wote. Chantelle ako poa.

Read: Willis Raburu’s bold message to Kenyans in the face of Coronavirus outbreak

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

With a pandemic that has taken over the world, one that never sent a signal prior to its coming and one whose cure is unprecedented, Kenyans have had their lives change completely.

It started with one case that only rattled a few, if any. And slowly, the numbers kept rising, with no one able to tell when it will all end.

No one knows how to navigate around it, how to describe the virus, nor even how to plan for the next day.

The world is currently in shambles, as some nations recover while others delve deeper into the crisis, with the dawn of each day.

However, many have tried sending comforting messages and words of encouragement to masses across the world, in a bid to light up the gloomy faces and give hope of a better tomorrow.

Citizen TV presenter, Willis Raburu sought to speak to the heavy-laden and comfort those counting losses in these trying times, that it shall be well.

Willis Raburu

The world has witnessed mass retrenchment, many bearing job losses, not knowing who to run to or where to start.

With a couple of TV programs having been put off, as media stations try to project more hard news especially around the novel COVID-19, the 10 over 10 presenter is also feeling the heat.

He jotted:

Missing this part of the job. However My heart goes out to those who have lost jobs during these trying times, those worried about how they will make ends meet, those in pain and who have suffered any kind of loss to some.

Citizen TV presenter, Willis Raburu

To the affected and those infected, the media personality encouraged:

50 or whatever the new figure may be , may be a number, isolation may be a word, but to all of you going through it, take heart ????????

Diamond Platnumz manager fully recovers from Coronavirus (Details)

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Sallam SK is finally out of danger and is now recovering better than expected 2 weeks after being infected by the coronavirus.

Diamond Platnumz manager, Sallam SK out of danger

Sources close to the WCB’s manager had earlier revealed that Sallam SK’s health was not looking so good and had to be admitted at an ICU ward.

Sallam on the other hand came out to brush off the rumors saying his doctors were putting in effort to help him recover; however due to doctor and patient confidentiality, Sallam could not share much.

Diamond Platnumz with manager, Sallam SK

Fully recovered

After receiving treatment for 2 weeks now, Sallam has been granted a second chance in life; and from his post it’s evident to see that he is more than grateful to finally breath freely without the help of a machine.

He went on to announce the good news through his Instagram page where he wrote;

Sallam SK

Nimshukuru Allah ???????? na pia niwashukuru wote mlionitumia msg, comments, DM na dua zenu. Bila kuwasahau Temeke Isolation Centre kwa kuwa bega na bega pamoja na mie bila kunichoka pale nilipokuwa nimezidiwa. Na shukurani zangu zingine ziende kwa Madaktari bingwa kujua maendeleo yangu mara kwa mara na pia Serikali yangu na viongozi wake husika.

He went on to thank everyone who stood with him during one of the hardest experiences in his life; not forgetting to advise Tanzanians on the importance of staying home since the virus is not out to spare anyone. He wrote;

Wizara na Mkoa walikuwa hawana ubaguzi kutujulia hali na kutupa moyo na kutupa mahitaji tutakayo. Naomba niwape taarifa ndugu yenu; kijana wenu nimechukuliwa vipimo mara mbili na nimekutwa NEGATIVE na kwa sasa nipo huru. Ila naomba tuendelee kujikinga na kufata ushauri wa viongozi wetu; na kuacha maelekezo ya utashi yasiyokuwa na uhakika. ALLAH IS GREAT ????????????????????????

After my mum’s demise, we had to grow up in the hands of a cruel stepmother – Selina

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Celestine Gachuhi, the face of TV drama series ‘Selina’, endured a rough childhood in the arms of her stepmother.

The celebrated actress has kept a brave face on our TV screens but in the depth of her being, lies a girl whose childhood memories still linger in her mind.

Barely a Class Five pupil, the cruel hands of death took away the only woman she looked up to and called ‘mum’.

Actress, Celestine Gachuhi

Stepmum

To make matters worse, months later, her dad married another woman, to complete his heart once more.

Unfortunately, the tag most stepmums have been given over time, became a reality in Selina’s life and that of her siblings.

The new parent in her life saw her hop from one school to another and it wasn’t fun and games for the then, little girl.

When I was in Class Five, my mum passed away. In 2007, my dad got married to my stepmum. I finished primary school in Nakuru and was taken to Narok County afterward and life was not good and as amazing as it should be for people joining high school.

Selina TV drama series main actress

A mother-figure who really never cared about the children from another woman. A life filled with hardships on end.

The kind of life I was living depressed me and the things I went through with my stepmum were hard.

So bad was it, that the actress opted out of her dad’s home in Nakuru, and sought greener pastures in Nairobi along with her sister.

The light

It is after starting life in the busy streets of Nairobi, that Selina’s talent in the acting industry was realized.

Celestine Gachuhi

Back then, the model took part in travelling theaters that slowly nurtured her talent, to become the face of one of the most followed Kenyan telenovelas today, just aged 24.

I remember I earned Ksh 3,800 in three months and I bought a phone with the money.

It is no surprise, the actress took up the role of a polite girl who lives with her stepmother in the local drama series ‘Selina’.

Like they say, it is what you go through at your early stages in life, that molds you or drives your path later on in life.

“Been a year since your girl hit rock bottom” Natalie Tewa gladly marks one year anniversary since breakup

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

End of March, 2019, YouTuber couple, Natalie Tewa and Rnaze broke up and it now marks a year since.

A nasty split that hit the inter webs with no valid explanation behind it.

Masses tried to intervene, celebrities tried to make things right but it proved futile.

Ex-couple, Rnaze and Natalie Tewa

The now

Travel and lifestyle vlogger, Natalie Tewa recently marked the anniversary admitting that it took a toll on her.

A year back, the Kenyan online sensation could not see how she would make it through, only to look back a year later and smile at the miles covered.

Brightly smiling at the steps she had made and grateful for the things that had changed, amidst the storm.

And just like that, it’s been a year since your girl hit rock bottom..Looking back, I honestly didn’t think I would make it through it all, but look how much has changed since then? Look at me now ????????☺️

 

Gladly, she kept her faith and trust in God and was able to overcome – with one door closing as many more opened.

I now know for sure that there’s nothing God can give you that you cannot overcome. It’s all part of the process. If a door shuts, 10 others open up. So trust in him and keep rising my loves ❤️????????

For all we know, the dashing model managed to bag herself a new bae – a photographer – and the experience seems to be irreplaceable for her.

Fans admired the beauty’s boldness to still look forward and have hope that tomorrow would be better.

“Thank you for your support and encouragement!” Betty Kyallo finally speaks!

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Betty Kyallo finally speaks after her intoxicated live Instagram video went viral portraying a different BK from the one we are used to!

BK

The lady who also happens to be a mother of one went on live to tell off those expecting the impossible from her. BK made it known that she is also human and just like everyone else, she deserves some fun away from work.

There are however a few characters here and there who have bashed her for the video showing an intoxicated BK!

Apparently since some children look up to Betty, she is then expected to act holier than thou – something she has refused!

Thank you to all fans

Anyway in a few new videos shared on her Instagram page; Ms BK took the opportunity to thank everyone who sent her hugs for being a strong, independent and single mum!

Most of her fans have encouraged the mother of one to continue speaking her heart out every once in a while; to help reduce the stress and pressure of both family and work.

This was however the first time BK opened up showing fans a side they had never seen! Judging from BK’s don’t care attitude at the time; it’s only fair to realize that she is not only a celebrity but a human being who just made it to the lime light!

Go getter!

So far, everything on her side seems just fine even with the coronavirus taking over the world.

BK has made it her business to empower women and the girl child everywhere she goes – so calling her a mentor isn’t so bad right?

“Betty owes no one an apology!” Trolls asked to back off

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Seasoned journalist and mother of one, Betty Kyallo recently made the headlines with her viral angry online rant, while tipsy. However, her story has been told by many.

The K24 news anchor made the video public because she had just had enough of bottling in her emotions, for a greater majority who probably never even cared.

Responding to her critics after her video did the rounds, she unapologetically bashed:

I don’t care because I do my best and work so hard. I am a mum, not yet a wife but hopefully soon. I’m also a businesswoman so for anybody who’s gonna hate on this video and say Betty Kyallo spotted drunk, f**k you!

Betty Kyallo

Re-told

It is probably until you hear from a another source that you realize you had it all wrong from the start.

Kenyan front-line activist, Boniface Mwangi asked Betty’s critics to back off because the young mother really never owed anyone an apology.

Betty Kyallo owes no one an apology for having a good time and enjoying her life. Stop projecting your hypocrisy on someone who owes you nothing. Use that idle energy to ask our government and elected leaders what they’re doing to ensure we don’t starve or die because of Corona.

For those she worked with and those she is currently working with, Betty is an entire package all together.

Celebrated journalist, Betty Kyallo

Her colleagues have described her as ‘a force to reckon with, who not once, backed down from a challenge’.

Adding:

You always soar and thrive…you are a legend…thank you for being BMK.

Betty’s cheerleaders urged her to just keep doing her and loving herself unapologetically.

Insisting:

B owes no one an apology for having a good time and enjoying her life. Y’all give her a break.

K24 journalist, Betty Kyallo

Her producer, Sarah Mwangi articulated:

Don’t be fake for the truth to bother you, speak the truth and let it bother them❤❤

The Kenyan sweetheart who has captured the hearts of many not just through her profession, but also through her personality, confidence and the vibe she exudes, was treated to a sweet bouquet of red roses in them, were chocolate balls.

She gushed:

Thank You!

Well, let’s face it, Betty is but human and just like everyone, she hers her moments too that need some breathing space.

“It took him 6 years to put a ring on my finger” actor, Abel Mutua’s wife opens up

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Former Tahidi high actor, Abel Mutua impregnated his then-girlfriend Judy Nyawira while both were still in college and the experience was rocky.

The college sweethearts have proudly shared the last 12 years in each other’s arms, roofing a daughter, now aged 10 years.

However, the birth of their daughter changed their lives.

Mr and Mrs Abel with their daughter

Q&A

During a Q&A session with the actor’s wife, Judy, Instagram fans delved into the couple’s marital life.

One fan posed:

What was your experience marrying Abel?

Mrs Abel admitted that despite having sired a child together, Abel was not ready to settle down and it took him 6 solid years to make an honest wife out of her.

Mr and Mrs Abel’s wedding

Even though the entire journey started off in an odd manner, the years are unregrettable for them.

Well, first came the baby then the long wait of almost 6 years before he could make up his mind about settling down. Thank God he did though with a proposal ndani ya gari…’Eeeh, babe tunaeza oana sasa?’ And here we are 12 years later.

More children?

Well, it has been 10 years and fans probed about baby number two. Judy responded:

It’s never a smooth road! It has its good and bad days.

Previously, the youthful production mogul revealed that their daughter’s birth caused them trauma.

The birth of our daughter traumatized us so much because we were not doing well then, and that is why we have not had a second child yet.

Actor, Abel Mutua with daughter

Reiterating the same, Judy Nyawira felt one was enough for them for the time being.

Never! That ship already sailed but it’s by choice. One is enough aki, for us. It was a mutual decision.

On what captured her interest in the scriptwriter, Judy blatantly admitted:

He is/was very good-looking and after 12 years of marriage, aki sina mahali pengine naeza enda.

Flashback

The popular Kenyan actor who has made a name for himself in the lucrative industry had in the past opened up on leading a strenuous life that rendered him unable to afford basic needs.

So bad was it that Nyawira was the one who cleared the bills, catered for food and his clothing.

I was so broke to the extent that I couldn’t afford to buy my underwear. It is my wife,who was buying me innerwear at the time. I may not have much (financially), but one thing I am thankful for, is the good wife God gave me.

“Ever since Rotimi came into Vanessa Mdee’s life, she has never been the same” Mimi Mars discloses

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Nigerian-Tanzanian couple, Rotimi and Vanessa Mdee were speculated as one not meant to last long but Vanessa’s sister, Mimi Mars sees it differently.

You can never really establish real-time facts about anyone until you probably knock closer home.

Marianne Mdee, Vanessa Mdee’s younger sister admitted that Rotimi’s presence in Vanessa’s life, completely changed her spirit.

Couple, Rotimi and Vanessa Mdee

In a recent interview, Mimi Mars shared details of a never seen before ‘ever-smiling’ Vanessa Mdee soon after hooking up with Rotimi.

We are not very close. I don’t have his (Rotimi) number neither do I text him. I respect the boundaries. We only say hi through Vanessa.

Even though they don’t speak first-hand, Mimi mars praised Vanessa’s Hollywood bae as a good person, pretty supportive and probably the charm to her sister’s heart.

Celebrated Tanzanian singer, Vanessa Mdee

Mimi Mars admitted that Vanessa’s liveliness hit rooftop after she crossed paths with Rotimi and for her and the mom, it remains a mystery.

Despite it all, Mars and the mum keep the singer in her prayers, wishing her nothing but life’s abundance.

He is a good person. He supports me even when I don’t ask him. I have never seen Vanessa that happy. My mother and I were also shocked but we continue to pray for her because she is very happy and she has been a very positive person. I wish them all the best.

Vanessa Mdee has failed by focusing more on love instead of using Rotimi to sell her music

Critics

It’s like the name ‘fame’ tags along ‘trolls’ that heighten the more as you keep scaling up the ladder of fame.

Vanessa’s relationship with Rotimi had a section of fans disapprove it and term it as one that would not last.

However, for Mimi Mars, such trolls bother her less.

You just have to get used to it. This is not her first relationship, even her previous one, people still spoke the same. You can’t force people to stop speaking.

Sisters, Vanessa Mdee (right) and Mimi Mars (left)

Speaking of Vanessa’s Tanzanian ex, Juma Jux, Mimi Mars clarified:

Jux and I don’t have a problem. Just that we have not met since. We don’t talk, we don’t text.

“I am in tears as I write this..” Size 8’s dark past leaves her emotional

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

From grass to grace is a line that applies to majority of individuals and despite the hardship of that time, we look back and just thank God.

Born-again Christian, Size 8 recently told of days when she could not afford sanitary towels, bus fare and the very basic, food.

Days when making through 24 hours and still able to see the next morning sounded impossible to her.

size 8

The minister ditched the secular world for gospel back in 2013 with her gospel debut ‘Mateke’ that cleared her path to greatness.

Sharing a montage, of a throwback photo alongside one of her most recent photos, the now mother of 2 could not hold back her tears.

Size 8 before (left) and now (right)

A photo montage that was randomly sent to her, only to touch the soft spot in her being and warrant a long emotional thanksgiving post to God.

Long letter

She started off screaming:

Uuuuuwwwii this is me woi before I met Jesus for real ???????????? @gladyskanyago sent me waaaaa hata mimi an shocked uuuuuuwiiii and me after wards uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuwwiiiii.

For her, her past remains a testimony of God’s transformation in her life, if the present is anything to go by.

Yesu Yuko anatenda my testimony how my life has changed wewe usikatetama ….. ati wanasema hakuna yesu. Manze my life is evidence uuuuuuuuwwwwwwiiiiiiii…. I love you Jesus you have carried me thru it all.

Size 8 with daughter, Ladasha

Describing how ungrateful human beings are, Size 8 felt sorry for ever complaining and never counting her blessings.

Woi forgive me for murmuring and complaining. Forgive me for not seeing just how far you have brought me and how much you have graced me changing my story. Wow I bless you Jesus none like you. I will forever praise you my Lord and saviour. I will forever testify of your love for me. Our might Man of war who be like you!

Recalling the dark days, when affording basic needs was a luxury to her, Mama Ladasha gushed over God’s graces in her life.

From never affording sanitary pads to my face being on a pack of pads. 4rm lacking bus fare to owning my own car. From lack of food to a full tummy. How I bless you Jesus My God of all creation my life belongs to you………

Gospel artiste, Size 8

Piece of advice

Wrapping up, the gospel artiste urged individuals about to despair, to just hold on a little longer for their doors are about to be opened by God.

Well, no one needs to go far because the now-affluent wife and mother, had once hit rock bottom in her life. But now look at her.

What am I trying to communicate to you guys is this manze God anaweza change life yako. Please usi give up. My life is a testimony. It’s just not about the physical body you see only but more so much more in my life. God has done wonders am almost in tears as I write this. Let’s give God glory….

“It’s never easy to deal with a break-up and I’m not ready to go public just as yet” Tanasha Donna admits

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

It marks a month since Kenyan-Tanzanian couple, Tanasha and Diamond part ways.

The duo split in unclear circumstances and all that has kept doing the rounds is speculations, criticisms and ‘supposed’ counter-attacks between the two parties and their next of kin.

However, despite a month since, Tanasha is not ready to speak about her alleged breakup or anything to do with the Tanzanian star.

Ex-couple, Tanasha Donna and Diamond

The Kenyan musician engaged fans in a Live Instagram video over the weekend, among with other African celebrities.

Breakup?

Unfortunately, the commercial model could tell from the numbers – a record 8k followers, that many wanted to know more about her breakup and what actually transpired between the pair.

I know a lot of you guys wanna know about what went down in my relationship and my personal life. I think that’s why most people are here.

Well, she was just not there to talk about anything relationship-related.

Tanasha Donna

For her, her past relationship means something ‘very personal’ and she feels it is not time yet to speak about it.

This is not something I’m ready to come out with in public just as yet. It’s something very personal and everybody has their own timing of coming out with their own stories. So I’m not here to talk about what happened in my previous relationship.

Instead, her main aim of having the InstaLive session, was to encourage people as well as talk about her upcoming projects while engaging other celebrities.

Sijakuja kuongea kuhusu what went down, I’m here to uplift people. I am here to talk about my upcoming projects and also to get on Live with different celebrities and entertain people.

Kenyan musician, Tanasha Donna

Aftermath

Further speaking in regard to her untimely split with Mondi, Tanasha said it is not easy for her and that is why she is trying to stay off of it.

However, when the right time comes, she promised to welcome the world into her life in order to understand what really went down.

It’s never easy to deal with a break-up but am focusing on what matters most, but I’m grateful all is well. But will talk about it, when the right time comes because everyone has her way of handling things. When I’m ready I will talk about it.

Tanasha Donna

Additionally disclosing that as we wait, a snippet of her story will be captured in an upcoming magazine issue where she features as the cover girl.

And in the next few weeks, I will tell a bit of my story in a magazine that I’m on the cover because I see everybody wants to know what happened.

Trolls

However, she got it rough from fans who called her out for wasting their time because there was ‘nothing important’ she was going to speak about.

“El-Shaddai song focuses on Mental Health” H_art the Band reveal

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Kenyan acclaimed music trio, H_art the Band’s latest release ‘El Shaddai’ was in a bid to let out their suppressed emotions but in form of lyrics.

The boy band closed off 2019 with an audio release of the song, from their album ‘Made In The Streets’.

A song that not only explains God’s greatness but his unconditional love to us as imperfect beings.

‘El Shaddai’ marks the trio’s gospel debut – yet one so articulate and mind-blowing for anyone’s first.

How the song starts is just soothing to the soul, before that deep, enthralling bass that sweeps you off your feet.

If anything, the song speaks to our iniquities, our troubles, our low moments, when God just stretches out his hand when we are about to lose hope and picks us up.

H_art the Band

But what you might not know, is that even though most times artistes compose songs to suit their audience, more often than not, lyrics speak more to the artistes than they speak to the audience.

Explained

‘El Shaddai’ is a perfect example. The band apparently composed the song, in order to let out the feelings they have been bottling in for a while, but indirectly.

The band explained:

‘#ItakuwaFine’ campaign coined from lyrics from the song is meant to mostly focus on Mental Health and the importance of saying what you feel as opposed to bottling it in.

H_art the Band

The three gents who turn out to be introverts marked the start of their campaign dubbed ‘#ItakuwaFine’ with the gospel song.

They felt the need to start the campaign to aid individuals like them who lack the courage to speak out what they really feel.

Band member, Mordecai Mwini attested:

Through music, I can express myself, heal myself and others, make an impact and ultimately touch and change lives. This song did this and much more for me. I hope it does the same for anyone who hears it during these trying times.

H_art the Band member, Mordecai Mwini

Honestly, ‘El Shaddai’ is a song that carries a heavy message that lights you a candle in the midst of pitch darkness.

Premiered on the 19th of March 2020, the song features popular music producer, Cedo.

For H_art the Band, 2020 is meant to be their ‘Visual Year’, one where they would release more visuals than ever, in their 6 years in the industry.

Music trio, H_art the Band

Just listen to it, it just can’t be explained in words but in listening to it.

I almost can’t wait for more. Tell me what you think…

Zimeshika! A drunk Betty Kyallo goes Live on Instagram, rants about her ‘cagey’ career and trolls [Video]

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Oops! Those who said ‘don’t drink and drive’ forgot to add ‘..or go Live’. TV girl, Betty Kyallo might have landed herself in trouble after ranting online while high.

The Kenyan sweetheart was home, downing some drinks before she decided to go Live on Instagram ‘knowingly or unknowingly’.

The TV siren went on a public rant about her career that sets so many standards and rules in her life, such that she can hardly be herself and lead a normal life.

Celebrated journalist, Betty Kyallo

Betty has severally been bashed by critics for going out to clubs and partying which does not display a good role model of a mother to her young daughter, Ivanna.

According to trolls, the news anchor needed to tame down her bubbly life and instead lead an honorable life that her daughter could emulate.

Betty Kyallo with daughter, Ivanna

However, the K24 journalist was not partisan to the views, admitting she needed a life of her own as well, without restrictions.

Living life by her rules – as many would call it.

Kenyan mompreneur, Betty Kyallo

InstaLive

Going Live on Instagram, the celebrated media personality – who was pretty high at the time – was disappointed by her family who keep asking her to stay off trouble when she can.

She just doesn’t like that.

One of her close family tried to stop her from proceeding with the recording, only to be turned down.

In her Live chat with her producer, Sarah Mwangi, Betty categorically said she was going to go to the Club and have a good time.

Sassy TV girl, Betty Kyallo

She went ahead to bash the pressure in her career that has seemingly caged her into some ‘ground rules’.

Betty was asked to end the video by someone in the background but she said she was not going to do so because she is saying nothing but the truth.

She cared less what the blogs were going to say about her and the recording because she is just tired of living life by some ‘rules’.

Betty Kyallo

Comment section

Unbelieving fans called out the K24 producer, Sarah Mwangi for exposing Betty Kyallo when most vulnerable, admitting that was ‘mean’ of her to do.

huyu Sarah apana, Niaje you video call your friend whose drunk and she’s on the limelight na unajua akisema tu kitu kidogo hivi kesho ako mpasho and pombe hufanya mtu aongee, Sarah you not a good

 

Sarah toa Betty hapa can’t you see she drunk

Others asked the journalist to tame down because she was not quite in her normal state.

Betty zimekushika????

 

You still on air Betty.

 

cheza chini

 

End this video

A different section cheered her on, admitting it was time she loosened up and spoke her mind.

BE YOU!! BE YOU BETTY!!

 

fungua roho betty

 

Si unakaa poa ukilewa????????

 

Leo ni leo Betty ????????????????????????????????❤

 

Life is too short to stay serious always ????????❤

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

It is quarantine time and Kenyan comedian, Terence Creative fears that by the end of it all, his wife might end up expectant.

With a world that has been reduced into a global village following the COVID-19 outbreak, employers have had to have their employees work from home.

But working from home, for daily commuters brings in a totally different and new working environment for them.

Many have complained they are eating a bit too frequently, with minimal movement, therefore risking their health.

Others are unable to work efficiently – especially parents of young kids – considering the children who are constantly in motion.

However, a different section of couples are concerned about family planning, if they don’t watch out.

Terence Creative, a father of one, falls under the last category.

Comedian, Terence Creative with daughter, Milla Netai

Sharing a short clip during the ongoing quarantine period while home, he constantly asked his wife over to their room, for some good time.

So often was it that his wife, Milly Chebby got tired of it.

A nursing mother who needs to take care of the needs of her young one, was barely having a break from her nagging husband.
