Vanessa Mdee claims she was shortlisted for Beyonce’s album but wasn’t called 

Everyone is complaining that Beyonce ignored Kenyan and East Africa in general for her new album The Gift.

But according to Tanzanian singer Vanessa Mdee, Beyonce’s team actually was in talks with a few East African names for the album but the talks didn’t materialize to anything.

The singer shared in an interview with Lil Ommy TV saying that Beyonce’s teamed reached to her and she was even shortlisted for the album but doesn’t know what happened.

“I was shortlisted. I remember that there was a conversation. I never heard of it again and do not know what happened. I am not mad that Beyoncé worked on the album, because when you think about it, for those of us who travel, the only music they know about is Afro-Beat from West Africa.” she said. 

Simba

She went on to add that since the movie was based in Kenya, she really expected an artist from East Africa to appear.

“We, in EA, are not in that category, we do Afro Pop. Generally speaking, we are all in the umbrella of ‘African Music,’ unfortunately, they do not differentiate the many genres. Think about it, the essence of Simba-  a lion- is a huge East African attraction and it beats me why Beyoncé did not feature us,” she said.

TV host Mimi Mars denies being ‘the snake’ behind Vanessa Mdee and Jux break up 

Tanzanian singer and TV host Marianne Mdee has come out to shoot down rumors that she’s behind her sister’s Vanessa Mdee relationship issues with rapper Juma Jux.

Speaking in an interview on Wasafi FM, Mimi Mars shared that the two had problems but she wasn’t the root.

“Hapana kusema ukweli hapana watu mbona, wale wanawachana mara mingi sana jamani kwanini mimi ni wekwe humo kati. Nakuaje chanzo? Hamna wala hata sinanga usemi kati ya yeye na yeye kwa hiyo hainihusu kabisa. Sio ukweli kabisa,” said Mimi.

Last week, on Mseto with Mzazi Willy, Mimi Mars said that her sister has been avoiding home since the break up.

“Kusema ukweli bwana mimi sijui I don’t like to meddle in people’s business. Kuna tofauti nimeona because Vee naye amekuwa hayupo muda mrefu so sijui labda akirudi,” she said.

No wedding

When asked about whether Mdee and Jux will walk down the aisle, Mimi didn’t mince her words.

“As husband and wife no. Kwanza tuanzie do they even want to get married? Maanake hawaonekani kama wanaelekea kwenye ndoa ni watu amabao wanaonekana wataendelea hivo kudate and then ikitokea labda kuna mtoto haya sawa. You know wote wawili hawajakaa kama watu wa ndoa sijui harusi,” added Mimi Mars.

Vanessa Mdee with Juma Jux

Nakumbuka mara ya mwisho kufanya party ya Birthday yangu ilikuwa 2013, Miaka minne iliyopita. Sikuwahi kufanya party yoyote tena sababu nilikuwa na rafiki, mpenzi na mtu wa karibu kuliko mtu yoyote kwenye maisha yangu. Miaka yote iliyofata nilikuwa na yeye mpaka sasa atuko tena karibu kama mwanzo, Tumebaki kuwa marafiki wa kawaida tu. Uwepo wake tu ulikuwa ni zaidi ya chochote kwenye siku yangu ya kuzaliwa, Kuongea na yeye au txt yake tu ilitosha kukamilisha siku yangu. Ila sasa sidhani kama itakuwa kama mwanzo. Nitafarijika sana kama nitamuona hiyo siku. This time nataka kuparty na watu wangu nani anataka kuparty na mimi katika siku ya birthday yangu ?
