Tanzanian singer Dudu Baya will no longer be releasing any new music as instructed by Baraza la Sanaa la Taifa (BASATA; Swahili for National Arts Council.)
Dudu Baya
In a report seen by Ghafla, BASATA had asked Dudu Baya to visit their offices hoping to look into a vulgar video he shared on social media this past Sunday that left some of his fans feeling quite angry.
Apparently Dudu Baya’s biggest mistake was going against some of the online rules issued in Tanzania like using vulgar words and threats on social media – something that has now left him jobless.

Dudu Baya responds
Anyway despite being banned, seems like Dudu Baya will not be tied down by BASATA as seen on his Instagram.
He continues to rebel against the National arts council and if I am not wrong – this might be his ticket to retirement!
Zari’s life did not begin at the top. Just like most celebrities the mother of 5 struggled and went through some hard challenges before she and Ivan started making for themselves.
As seen on one of her posts shared on her Instagram page, Zari narrates how she was forced to work two jobs in order to cover her accommodations bills and food.
Zari Hassan back in the day
For the very first time, Zari reveals that she was forced to work as a house help and a cashier – and throughout this whole time things were not so okay.
Aunt mistreats Zari
In her post she adds that living with her aunt at that time was not so easy as she treated her like a step child since Zari had come from a humble family – and the person she was married to also happened to be a hustler.
But remembering that her mother back in Uganda was doing a tailoring job and barely made enough money to survive on – she had no option but to put up with everything that was thrown her way until she graduated.
LIFE LESSONS
Life can be a rollercoaster and you will never know where you’ll end up.
From studying my cosmetology course in th UK ( which hasnt helped me) while doing house girl work to pay my accommodation (yes ive been a maid before)to running through buses to get to my next stop woodgreen where i worked as a cashier and sometimes as an isle packer in sainsbury. Friend, i started out early wasnt even sure why me. But the inner voice in me wanted better. My dad had left, my mom was doing tailor jobs day and night i couldnt stand seeing her struggle. I couldn’t stand her pain. I was living with my aunt in the uk who treated me like a step child. Gooosh????
Been through boutiques, long economy flights to china in between building a school and having babies. My music and tv career is a story for another day. Phew????
All I’m saying, consistency is key. Doesnt matter where you are or what you do. Just do it.

As we mark the first Thursday of the year, mama Diamond Platnumz has released a new photo from back in the day when she was a young fine mummy of two!
Black don’t crack!
Well, not that the lady has changed much but it’s evident that she was one fine lady back in the day and this could be the main reason why Diamond Platnumz father could not stop eyeing her.
Anyway, below is a never before seen photo of the lady from back in the day.

When they call it inheritance I say we started from the bottom. Y’all know us from 2010 not before.Get your facts right. We hustled all the way up. Get your inheritance too, it should be easy right?

Willis Raburu´s wife speaks her first since daughter´s loss
Everyone is so quick to tell me about God… What they don’t know is that every way I knew Him was tested and He didn’t prove Himself. So as they say you should know God for yourself, I now can say, I don’t know Him. And I don’t think I want to know him coz He left me when I needed him the most.
Willis defends wife
So far their are those who have called out Maryaprude for denouncing God and has even been asked to join an Atheist community since she saw how things turned out after so many prayers.
However, Willis Raburu has defended his wife saying that she is allowed to mourn in anyway that she finds true healing. He went on to post;
Willis Raburu
It’s ok to be you when you are in pain, I think that’s the only true way you will heal. The only true way I will heal!

There is no greater satisfaction than a lady knowing that a lady can afford to cover her own bills without depending on her man – a trick that Tanasha seems to have perfected in!
In a new post shared by Mama Naseeb Junior we understand that she has been receiving negative comments from her haters who can’t seem to let her be!
Tanasha Donna responds
According to Tanasha, most of her fans tend to think that she is only with Diamond Platnumz for the money and fame. Some have even gone to the extent labeling her as a golddigger as revealed on her post.
Yet they say I’m broke & desperate… I ain’t rich (YET) but financially stable through my OWN HARD WORK and SWEAT I AM, HAVE ALWAYS BEEN & everyone around me knows that. Let me flaunt when I’m making millions of dollars, can’t flaunt when I’m only making tens of thousands. #DONNATELLASEASON,
Tanasha’s post
Well judging from the post above it’s evident to Tanasha definitely has been catching feelings for being referred to a gold digger yet she works hard to make sure all her bills are paid on time.
Anyway, we also can’t blame the fans since most ladies are known to hook up with Diamond Platnumz for his money!
Word has it that Harmonize’s manager did not come out clean about the main reason that led the bongo singer not perform in Mombasa on 31st.
Apparently the organizers decided to deduct some money from the fee that he was to get for the show. Well, according to Jalang’o the money that was deducted was to help fix the Range Rover which he had been rolling around with after landing in Mombasa.
Jalang’o
Reports indicate that Harmonize was responsible for the Range Rover’s damages since they were caused by his fans who were fighting to grab the money that the singer was dishing out.
Harmonize alipofika Mombasa, mapokezi yalikuwa mazuri. Ikawa amesema azungushwe na Range Rover moja safi sana. Kwenda kuzunguka akarusha pesa pale Mama Ngina, aliporusha pesa watu wakaang’ang’ania, aliambiwa hii italetashida. Akasema hii mambo kidogo shida ikitokea sisi tutashughulikia. Aliporusha pesa tena Windscreen and side mirror ya ile gari ikapasuka. Wakasema watalipa. Sasa alipopelekewa balance yake, tayari ile pesa ya repair ya Range Rover ilikuwa imekatwa. Si ulisema utalipa?. So naskia alipelekewa Sh800K maana pesa yake ilikuwa kama Sh1 million, walitoa kama 200K hivi. Hapo ndo Jeshi ikaamua, tena haiko tena Jeshini tunaka pesa yetu. Saa nayo ilikuwa imeenda karibu saa tisa asubuhi, so promoter akasema kama huji basi asante sana wacha tuweke pesa yetu kibindoni, na ikawa ivo.
Chris the bass speaks
Chris Bass who was also among the events Emcee’s also went on to add a few more details to story saying;
So before that, kuna mambo ambayo yalifanyika ndo yakamlazimu Harmonize kuruka. Ile wakati anatupa pesa, alianza na pesa ya Tanzania, wakenya ni wajanja hawakupanic. Baadaye akachukua maelfu za Kenya ambazo alikuwa nayo kwa gari akaanza kuzitupa. So ile motisha ya mafans ikafanya akaanza kutupa mpaka dollars. Kumbe hakuwa amefanya hesabu vizuri kushuka kwa gari kufanya hesabu karibu laki mbili zimeenda. Sasa regrets zikaanza pale. Nipoteze pesa nimetupia mafans tena wewe unikate huku., akasema hiyo haiwezi,”

Newspapers and televisions are awash with stories of sibling rivalry but not all cases are similar and this is why humble 53 year old businesman Ahmed issak takes each day at a time as he hopes to get protection and justice after receiving death threats.
Mr Ahmed’s case
Well, it all began after the death of his parents who left him in charge of their family business and his siblings who would get a share of the charge family business with time.
At first all seemed rosy until one of his siblings and a nephew’s greed to run and manage things in the business got the better of them.
Close sources to Ghafla intimated that the nephew alias ‘Mandevu” is the thorn in the family business flesh. A few months ago all hell broke loose when an employee,also a relative, working at the hardware as a cashier got shot dead on his way to banking their daily proceeds along a busy Mombasa street.
Death threats
What followed next were death threats on phone and promises of him not ever seeing another sunset.This prompted him to seek help from police in Makupa police station where he recorded statements.
Mombasa County Police Commander Johnson Ipara with Administration Police Commandant Nelson Masengeli investigating the murder of one Cashier from Mombasa
It did not take long before the policemen doing the investigations started stalling and to his realization,the police men had already been paid out. Mr Ahmed was then forced to travel to Nairobi to seek help at the CID offices but unfortunately this did not make his situation change in anyway.
With the investigation still going on,what remains unanswered is who really is behind all this.
Who brutally took away the life of the innocent young soul Rashid? Justice delayed has always been justice trampled upon but let’s see how things will unfold.
