This Is What Ciku Muiruri Has Been Up To After Leaving Classic 105 (Photos)

Kenyans during her years at Easy F.M and Classic 105.The show aimed at catching errant lovers pants down and the happenings after the cheater got busted either left us extremely tickled or thoroughly terrified like in the case of the busted devil worshiper, Scoli.

Hate or love her we were all sad to see Ciku leave radio especially due to the fact that her career was at its peak

 

Life after radio has not been dull at all for the doting mother of one.By the look of things Ciku has been supporting her daughter the ambassador of the Lengai Foundation in her bid to raise money to buy mobile blood units that will make  blood donations easier as they will be placed at strategic places in the CBD where willing donors can just donate blood hustle free. 

In support of her daughter, Ciku took her daughter Erica to the AM Live show on NTV. In case you missed the show,here are some pics from the show courtesy of Kobi Kihara

Madonna Says She Would Love To Come to Lamu

Madonna is one of the biggest stars of our generation so it peaked my interest when Baba Ghafla who is an avid reader of reddit.com -I site I should point out I do not like one bit because of it’s layout and the topics discussed- pointe out that Madonna had mentioned Kenya. And true to form, he skipped out of the office and left me to scour over the site to find the conversation thread.

I had to subject my eyes to the eyesore that is the site’s and trawl it for the information I needed. Trust that it was alot of work. But I finally came across what I needed. It was a Q&A session between Madonna and the reddit community and someone asked her; a woman who has been all over the world and can go anywhere her giblet desires.

But the one place she longs to go AND I HOPE THE TOURISM BOARD ARE PAYING ATTENTION is Lamu. To experience the culture and the people. And who knows, she just might adopt a child.

Hey, I recently got an email from the prince of Kenya! He said I would get a vacation to Lamu after I give him my routing number so he can transfer my inheritance into my accounts. I imagine I’ll have to sign some legal papers on behalf of the inheritance when I get there but I’m excited!!!

Nick Mutuma Snubs Haters, Releases Song #2

Mid last year, TV show host and actor, Nick Mutuma, released his debut single that received a lot of airplay and positive response. However, it was a totally different script when his much-awaited video dropped.

For some reason, the music video was not worth the hype it had received, at least according to KOT.

Nevertheless, Nick didn’t lose sight of who he truly is and the unique qualities he’s built within himself. And so, 7 months later, Nick hit the studio again for track #2. Well, Nick wasn’t there to chill with the producers.

Earlier this week, singer Yvonne Darcq dropped a track he’s featured the Mashariki Mix host. Dubbed Real Talk, the heavy-beat track was engineered at Headbangers Entertainment.

Maina And King’ang’i In The Morning: Modern Kenyan Men Are Useless! They Are Gold Diggers

Maina and King’ang’ki came across an interesting caller yesterday. A lady who bemoaned the lack of fitting male partners in today’s Ken yan society. According to the caller, Kenyan men (whom I assume are between the ages of 20-30 years old) are ALL gold diggers. talk about brassive, bold blanket statements! So if I am to believe the bitter Betty, Kenyan men are mostly made up of gold diggers?

 

The female callers all called in one after another to complain and whine about Kenyan men whom they have to take care of. They all called to say that they are forced to take care of their men for their needs.

One caller whom I think clearly has the pick of the litter called in to whine about having to pay for all her dates whenever men ask her out. But… Uncle Chim Tuna must point out that she is an example of a side-dish who doesn’t know she’s a side dish. I honestly think this could be a sign that Kenyan men have begun to prioritize. Keep the side dish on a diet -financially- and keep the money with the Mrs.

Then again, I am rarely impressed by the logical Kenyan men use so I might just be reaching. Tune into Maina and King’ang’i in the morning for the show.

Last evening, vivacious Victoria Kimani posted a photo on IG of herself with Bongo star, Diamond Platnumz, kicking it at a ranch in SA. Vicky captioned the photo; Yo , I think we gotta get in the studio together and shoot the video in a farm #sexyTings #doagric #Africa”

Legends such as Femi Kuti , Yvonne Chaka Chaka are part of this amazing campaign as well as Juliani, Nigeria’s Omawumi, Tanzania’s finest Diamond, AY and Mwana FA.

 

Why Rufftone’s Graceful Fiancée has Stopped to ‘Tanga Tanga’

For quite a long time, Susan Mwaura better known as Krystal has been wandering up and down looking for a greater being fruitlessly. However, she now reveals that she won’t be doing any of that ever again.

Why? According to Krytsal she is experiencing the greater reality, thanks to her Maker.

“Since I saw your Hands my life has never been the same,” admits the celebrated Gospel singer.

 

Krystal_Mwaura.jpg

And now that she’s experienced what it feels like to be in the Lord she wasn’t to live through the same everyday as the Greater Reality overlays the illusion that is physical reality.

This is a testimony by Rufftone’s fiancée, a sincerely devout Christian since her high school days when she was the CU (Christian Union) chairlady.

Homeboyz Entertainment’s 1,000,000 Shilling Tender for Supply of Sound Equipment Expounded

Earlier this week a new report from the office of the Auditor-General revealed ‘gross misappropriation of funds’ in Machakos County. According to the auditor is the payment of Sh1 million to Homeboyz Entertainment Ltd, allegedly for provision of public address system during the funeral, was siphoned off.

The auditor argues that the function was attended by the Head of State and thus the public address system was provided for by the Presidential Press Services “thus putting the integrity of the Sh1 million paid for the service to question”.

However, Dr. Alfred Mutua has come out to justify why Homeboyz was given Sh1 million for provision of sound.

Homeboyz_Ent.jpg

“(The late) Mutula Kilonzo’s funeral had over 20,000 people…people were actually standing about a kilometre away so we needed to put television screens for people to be able to actually mourn and see what was going on. We needed a generator to run the system, we needed a public address system with proper wiring and everything to carry it through for people to hear!”

Challenged on why they had to spend that cash yet the PPS was there, the Governor argues that what the PPS provides is mic and speakers.

“I worked in the national Government for over 9 years, everytime there’s a big event it’s not the PPS equipment that’s used. It’s actually rented equipment…the big system is rented, actually for 2-5 million. Actually Homeboyz were not basically presenting an address system, it was the connectivity.”

homeboyz_generators.jpg

Founded in 1992, Homeboyz Entertainment is East and Central Africa’s biggest and most influential Entertainment Company. Some of the known brands under the Homeboyz flagship include: HomeBoyz DJs, HomeBoyz Studios, HBTV, Soundtrax, HomeBoyz Barriers and HomeBoyz Kreative.

Paparazzi? Not In Kenya

 

The paparazzi culture in countries such as the big old USA is pretty successful in comparison to the Kenyan entertainment scene. This is because the fans there are thirsty (allow me to use that word) for information about their celebrities with preferences to scandalous information.

This has fueled the paparazzi culture with paparazzo’s doing bizarre things just to get a scandalous or dramatic reaction from the celebrity. The uglier and more embarrassing the picture is the more money a magazine or tabloid is willing to pay for the picture. This has led to the paparazzo’s tossing their moral compass in the Bermuda triangle and going over and under to get an outrageous and upsetting photo or video of a luminary. One of the victims of this culture includes Suri Cruise (8 year old daughter to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes) who was called a bitch and a little brat by Paparazzi after they hounded her. Why would you call an 8 year old such names? That’s just off.

It will be a while before the Paparazzi culture in Kenya catches on since our showbiz scene is still a bit young and celebrities are still adjusting to hearing unpleasant info about them. But with paparazzi’ such as Pius Cheruiyot, this culture could actually thrive. For you among the few who have not heard of Pius, he is the only active bold Paparazzi in Kenya. Pius works for Pulse Magazine and has been on the receiving end of punches from celebrities such as Nonini who gave the man a Falcon Punch for taking a photo of him.

Getting cozy in public?

A rare photo of former lovebirds Brenda and Juliani taken by Pius (Photo SDE)

Anyhow celebrities may comfort themselves with the fact that we only have one true paparazzi in the 254 but pretty soon as the showbiz scene expands the pap culture will grow. When it does we will hear more of blatant invasion of privacy as the Kenyan press rarely comes up to your house window to takes shots of you with your children. We will also see more of celebrity breakdowns such as the one experienced by Britney spears. This is because seeing unflattering pictures of you on the internet and being stalked by Paparazzi constantly can drive even the most stable person crazy.

Other effects can include road accidents such as the one that claimed Princess Diana. It is said that the princess was running away from the paparazzi before her car crashed and she passed away.

Just like everything else, the paparazzi have its advantages. For example if you enjoy attention your career can get an instant boost such as Miley Cyrus’. They can also be used to create a rapport for an upcoming album or movie .Also who can forget about job creation? Being paparazzi is also a job and if you are good at what you do you can make a decent amount of money from it.

Kenyan celebrities will not be popping champagne over the paparazzi but they are a necessary evil for your survival. To conclude this piece I will quote Ex- Us Weekly editor-in-chief, Janice Min, who says, “A celebrity is like an elected official. If you’re getting paid $20 million a movie, you have to rely on public goodwill to stay in office. You have to accept the fact that you’re a public commodity.”

 

Plot Thickens: Gospel Singer Papa Dennis Accuses Ringtone of Being a Liar. Adduces Evidence

 

Yesterday, fast-rising Gospel singer who collaborated with Jimmy Gait in his song, ‘Makekes’ decided to respond to Ringtone after he condemned the video for being a little below par despite Jimmy asserting that it is a game changer.

However, Ringtone dismissed him (Papa Dennis) saying, “Mimi simjui huyo. Siko level yake.” This statement by the ‘Mziki Ni Dawa’ hit-maker seems to have stirred the beehive as the young singer has come out protesting.

He says, “God created us equally so Ringtone should not be condescending.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Papa_Dennis_13.jpg

“He says he can’t remember me yet he was there that day I was discovered by Maliza Umaskini. He might have seen me in flip flops that day but God has lifted me to this level and I can now stand before people,” adds Papa Dennis.

The singer who boasts of a band even produced photos from the event where Ringtone was the performing guest artist and even had a word with him. Here are those photos;

 

Ringtone.jpg

 

 IMG-20140218-WA022.jpg

 

Papa Dennis remarks, “Niko ready kusaidia Ringtone anijue kama hanikumbuki.” He concludes by thanking Jimmy Gait for doing the collabo with him; a song whose video allegedly cost 2.5 million through a joint sponsorship of Maliza Umaskini and Make It or Make It.

Reached for a comment, Ringtone says, “Ukweli mimi simkumbuki na kama inasound vibaya, pole sana”, adding, “The only artist I remember from Maliza Umaskini ni Mjukuu. Mimi nilimwona tu kwa video.”

 

Ringtone_nyeri.jpg

Regarding the issue of support Ringtone replies, “I’ll pray for him akue mkubwa. He’s still young and has a long way to go so atulie tu. Time yake inacome. Plus, I can sponsor his next video. Ntaongea na Sadat to see if we can work on that.”

Ringtone makes it clear that he doesn’t have any beef with neither Papa Dennis nor Jimmy Gait and that he just highlighted an issue which was being spoken of by everyone.

Vera Sidika Lands TV Host Job On KTN

It would seem the gods are smiling down on Vera Sidika and from what I am seeing, there is no stopping this lass. She is running and there is no catching up to her. When she first came into the limelight, she was dancing and showing off her body on P-Unit’s hit video “You Guy“. And since then, there has been no turning back.

Vera then took the time to reinvent herself. She was featured in a Naija movie and video and she also begun businesses. She shed the image of a ratchet video vixen and even went as far as to charge people for cameos.

And it didn’t end there. She also begun to acquire taste. Gone was the girl we all saw on “You Guy” in came a new being -sought of like a phoenix. And she shed friends whom she felt were holding her back. As they say, time will tell and when her tale was told, indeed, she seems to have made the right choice.

And that has culminated in a show for her. Aye, lads and lasses, a new show is about to air on KTN that will be centered around Vera. Keep it Ghafla for more details. For now, check out the teaser below:

“What has your pretty face done for you?”: Bodacious Vera Slams Critics

They say what you see is what you get. Well, Vera Sidika is not very happy with her spiteful critics who have been posting on her photos in which she’s always showing off her famous booty and tiny waist saying she’s not pretty.

Posting on her Facebook page on Wednesday, the curvaceous video vixen slammed the chics asking, “What has your pretty face done for you?” and she dreams big and that has propelled her to where she is.

 

vera_nu.jpg

She maintains;

“Some females be like “she ain’t pretty. My ass bigger than hers.” Blah blah! Yardie yardie!
What has your pretty face done for you?

I got my life all figured out and I’m grateful to God for the doors he’s opened. It’s never about how pretty you look, or how big your ass is, there are countless girls out here with way better asses and pretty faces. (What y’all need to ask yourselves is why she stands out of the best you’ve seen) how smart is she, how intelligent is she? At your age how much have you achieved and what are your goals?

 

vera_yatcht.jpg

My dreams are too BIG they scare me sometimes.

I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination. My life ain’t perfect. To me, this is just the beginning.”

Life After Nick Mutuma: Bridgette Shighadi Looks Absolutely Ravishing After Their Break-Up (Photos)

 

They say that the best way to get over someone is get under someone, but not for Nick Mutuma’s ex .

The pretty petite model decided to get sexy instead of spending time hunting for a bang-la-dash or worse mopping and moaning and stuffing herself with ice cream.Check out some of her post break-up photos

 

 

 

 

In an interview with Pulse Magazine the lass revealed hat she was not too sad about the break up as dating someone in the spotlight can be difficult. Here is an excerpt from the interview “The expectations people have of you, the groupies around Nick and the perceptions that people have are too much. You just have to be real. Sometimes you are together and you have no clue how things will turn out. You coil back; have fun, go swimming, reading books, write and watch movies.”

 

The Height of Cross-Dressing: Did you know that the ‘Lady’ in Nameless New Video is a Man?

In the 90s legendary American rock band, Jane’s Addiction, became popular with their song, Been Caught Stealing in which their music video had a man dressed as a fat woman robbing grocery store. He pulled it so well that most believed it was a woman.

Fast forward to 2014… Nameless pulled a similar stunt in his comeback track, African Beauty. Unknown to many (myself included); the first video girl in the music is a man! However, it’s not easy to notice as the guy perfectly plays the gender role and his cross-dressing makes it worse.

The whole ‘man-pretends-to-be-a-chic-that-ends-up-almost-making-the-star-almost-collapse-in-shockstoryline leaves any viewer an iota of doubt that it’s a chic.

Nameless made the revelation last weekend during a radio interview which took many by surprise.

 

Nameless_video.jpg

 

I realised that not many got to realise that the ‘lady’ that walked in first in an orange dress was actually a man dressed as a woman. I thought it was obvious….guess not” reveals Nameless.

‘Mzazi’ WillyTuva Forgives Controversial Artist who claimed He Demands for Sex & Money to Give Upcoming Artists Airplay

In January, upcoming dancehall artist pulled a Kendrick Lamar, a move that shocked many showbiz opinion-shapers. However, according to Blaqy he was ‘doing something that no one else had the balls to despite the state of affairs’.

According to Blaqy, ‘Mzazi’ Willy Tuva of Mambo Mseto, Homeboyz’s G-Money, DJKalonje, DJ Wesley and DJ Pinye do not support local content and asserted that Tuva solits, no, demands for cash and sex from upcoming artists to have their music played on radio.

And now, the Show Me hit-maker, like the Biblical prodigal son, has gone back at the feet of the people he blackened their names pleading for forgiveness and imploring them to guide him in his music career.

Blaqy

“I finally realized why Tuva is befittingly referred to as ‘Mzazi’. He nurtures talents and am now more than ready to work with him for my own good,” said a remorseful Blaqy.

Contacted, Tuva confirmed that Blaqy extended an olive branch to him and being who he is he decided to let it off.

“Ndio alikuja akasema pole nimetubu naomba unionyeshe njia,” corroborates the celebrated TV and radio host adding, “I advised him to use the right channels to air his grievances.”

Blaqy also insists that he has called a truce with all the deejays he fired salvos at except G Money who is out of the country.

On the other hand, DJ Kalonje denies being approached by Blaqy for an admission of guilt. Instead he says he hasn’t heard from Blaqy from the day he left his CD on his laptop at a club in Eastlands. The celebrated deejay took the opportunity to clear the air over the issue.

DJ_Kalonje.jpg

“Blaqy lacks patience. I asked him to give me some time to sample his song at home but he insisted I do it at the club,” laments Kalonje adding, “Before music is played on radio, as a DJ I have to sample it first and decided whether to add it to my playlist.”

Asked whether Blaqy has reached out to him for expression of regret, Kalonje’s answer is a firm NO.

“Me sijaskia from him since that day…” reveals Kalonje.

Blaqy insists that he reached out to all the deejays he hit out at and even asked them to participate in my next music project.

“I’ve asked Tuva to take part in my music since he has rich knowledge of the industry,” acknowledges Blaqy.

As Usual, Kenyans On Twitter Hate on Tujuane And We Have The Best Of The Tweets

Tujuane is one of the most popular local shows in a very peculiar way. You see, to an outsider, what I have to say might seem strange but to a card carrying Kenyan, there is nothing really amiss as to why the show is popular. Kenyans love to hate and Tujuane is a very good target what with the ratchet lasses and lads they introduce every week.

And indeed the show is popular or unpopular depending on what you want to make of it. The show trends every week prior to it’s airing and after it has aired. i think that it is a case study on how to use social media to market a show. But today, I came across some vitriol that I found both funny and sad. Some of the tweets betray deep seated rage while others betray some closeted comics. Check them out below:

From The Managing Director To Finance Manager, Top Level KBC Management Fired

Word reached Uncle Chim Tuna that the top level management had been sacked. Rather, had been issued with notices that they should vacate their offices at the end of this month. The letters were issued on Tuesday. My source who happens to be deeply embed in the ICT Ministry let me know that the officers holding the office of the Managing Director, Finance Manager, head of Procurement and the officer currently holding the position of Technical Management.

I sought to find out more because Uncle Chim Tuna doesn’t run on half baked stories. So my source delved in deeper into the reasons for the dismissal and all I can say is that the allegations leveled against them are serious. One and all of the officers have been accused of gross mismanagement and corruption.

I called KBC to find out just what was going on but it came as no surprise that the good folk at KBC refused to divulge any details. When I called, I asked to be patched through to the HR department -afterall, it is they that hire and dismiss individuals. They claimed to have no idea what I was talking about but rather than hang up, they opted to patch me through to upper level management.

Once patched through, they also refused to comment and instead handed my call to someone even more senior. What I am wondering is why they would go to such lengths to tell me that the story isn’t valid. Seemed a little over-kill to me.

When I called my source back, he raised a very good point: how could I expect people who have been dismissed to admit as much? He however told me that the sacking came directly from the Government of Kenya through the ICT Ministry.

The officials allegedly sacked are:

 

Mr. Waithaka Waihenya – Managing Director (MD)

 

Mr. Henry Momanyi – Finance & Administration Manager (FAM)

 

Mr. Robert Wekesa – Procurement Manager (PM)

 

Keep it Ghafla for more as the situation unfolds.

But however, the lass’ seems to be having wahala for her relationship (trouble in her relationship) with a certain Nigerian celebrity who starred in the MTV series Shuga and she chose to open up about the problem and you will never believe what the problem is: money.

Victoria_Kimani_3.jpg

The lad’s family refuses to see their son date a Kenyan and a broke one at that. And like Romeo and Juliet, the pair have decided to ignore the problems and move on with writing their love story. Interestingly, Prezzo and Tanzania’s superstar A.Y both weigh in and give their 2 cents and it all makes sense.

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4dJRCfERCA4/UnEMWgwY8XI/AAAAAAAA0Rg/u2UpPP4crBs/s320/bba.PNG

Happier Times: Dillish and Stephen

He confessed that “While Dillish was on the show, there was a Nigerian woman who was helping to campaign for people in her country to vote for her. I was in contact with her because I helped with the campaigning. We flirted via text messages and so on. I mean all guys flirt, it doesn’t mean you intend on acting on it. She then sent a snapshot of our conversations to a friend of Dillish, who eventually sent it to Dillish. We had an argument about that, which led to an argument about other things and we both said some things that we wish we didn’t. After that we decided to break-up and haven’t been together since December.”

 

 

He however denied claims that Dillish was a gold digger and had dumped him after amassing wealth adding that the BBA winner is not only fine-looking but also remarkable and he still respects her.He also scoffed at and denied the rumors that he had impregnated another girl and had hordes of kids.
