Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Singer Vivian a few days ago surprised fans after sharing a series of screenshots on social media claiming that her hubby, Sam West, has been angered by several scenes of her upcoming song “Cheza Chini.”

According to the singer, Sam was angered by a steamy scene between her and Sauti Sol’s singer Savara.

“I don´t like this part where Naiboi is holding Vivian so closely. Kindly delete it before you release,” said Sam in WhatsApp group chat. 

Duped

Yesterday, the singer finally released “Cheza Chini” and fans have been working overtime tried to get that scene that angered Sam West.

Spoiler alert, there’s nothing like that in the video.

While the four( Naiboi, Vivian, Sam and Savara) duped Kenyans into thinking there was some steamy business going on, it’s only church-like dancing that’s present in the video. Or maybe they edited the part out.

Watch it below:

Sauti Sol has come out to explain why they didn’t keep a promise they made last year in November. The popular band had promised fans that they’ll be releasing new music every month for a year. But in 2018, the band barely hit half the number they promised.

The band has now come out to disclose that they couldn’t keep their promise because they realized that they didn’t have the financial capabilities to make the project possible.

“We took a break because we realized we did not have the required financial muscle to keep up with the releases and push the project to a global scale. We have, however, signed deals with international record labels and from next year we will be back on track,” Bien said during a media briefing.

Nominations

Their statement comes just a week after they were nominated in three categories at the Soundcity MVP Awards. ‘Short n Sweet’ which features Nyashinski has been nominated for two categories ‘Video of the Year’ and ‘Song of the Year.’ The group has also been nominated in the ‘Best Group or Duo’ category.

According the rumor making rounds on social, we have reason to believe that Polycarp will soon be walking down the aisle with the love of his life, Benie Amanda who he has dated for some years now.

A to a source close to the couple told the Nairobian that Polycarp aka ‘Fancy Fingers’ engaged his girlfriend last year and since he is not one who publicizes his private life, the two have been keeping it on the low.

When contacted by the Nairobian, Polycarp chose not to respond to the story by saying…

“I like to keep my life private.”

He however confirmed that his lady is not pregnant but hopes that they will soon have a baby.
