Besides social media, no medium gives us a more in-depth look at life in the spotlight than reality television. And that’s why Victoria Kimani decided to open the door into her life for the public by keeping it real.
Chocolate City Music in collaboration with Reel E TV presents “The Rise of The Queen” a reality web series covering Victoria Kimani behind the scenes over the last couple of months.
The reality series follows her as she records new music, goes for radio and TV interviews, and meets with some of the biggest names in the Nigerian entertainment scene, to her opening for the legendary Mary J Blige.
The show, which will started airing at 1PM on the 8th of April on Victoria’s YouTube channel, contains premium content all during Victoria’s stay in Nigeria. The mini documentary also reveals her interaction with her team at the Chocolate City, Nigeria, while bring fans closer to how Queen Victoria “rolls”.
In Episode 1, Victoria almost misses her interview at City People, and faces hiccups a day before she opens for the Mary J Blige Concert in Lagos.
Victoria’s Talent Manager Tosin arrives at Victoria’s place unfashionably late; they have a long day ahead of them with interviews, rehearsals, a date at the salon and outfit hunting planned out. Perfect recipe for a fun filled date eh?

Emmy Kosgei is one of the few artistes who can sing in a language that you are unfamiliar with but somehow you will jam to the song even if you do not understand the words. And that to me that is the true measure of a great musician.
If You loved Sobei Cheso,Ololo and Jerusalem I guarantee that you will LOVE Asiyalasun her latest release.
The song basically praises God for all the good things he has done in her life,for salvation and victory she praises him,for restoring sight to a blind man may his name be praised.
The video is shot in what looks like a savannah grassland and Emmy’s outfit blends her Kalenjin Culture and West African culture, to create a fetching outfit. Check out the video here

After being absent from the Kenyan music scene for a few years, the one and only award winning duo Wakimbizi are back!
Mututho, one of the tracks from their soon to be released album is destined for instant and popular notoriety like its namesake.
Wakimbizi was formed in the mid ’90s by brothers Morris and Henry Masheti using the stage names Mariko and Mr. Filter respectively.
Wakimbizi Recently
They started recording with DJ Stone at Bedrock Studios. Later on they got signed under Subsahara where they released their 2nd album Usife Moyo produced by Super engineer Ulopa. Usife Moyo became so popular with tracks like Hallo Hallo and John. After the success of those two songs, which received tremendous airplay, and won many awards and even an endorsement deal, the group went under the radar to create new music. Now they are back with what promises to be a Kenyan, if not east African favorite – Mututho, which will not only resonate with a wide local audience, is sure to become a regular club theme song for obvious reasons.
What is now clear is that they are back, big time! And watch this space as they are currently working on a new album that will put them back squarely on replay again, and again, and again.

There will be a total of eight races the highlight of which will be the Kenya Derby with ten runners who have been prepared and tuned over the last two years by their trainers to perform at the highest level. This is the most famous and richest classic race in the local racing world and covers over 2400m in less than 3 minutes to clear the tension and declare a winner without the intervention of the judiciary.
The day will just not be about the races but also activities off the track for the young ones. The children will have numerous games including the now popular star jump, Face painting and candy floss. There will also be food stalls Craft market, Fancy Dress, photo booth and of course Live Music.
Here is the fascinating part; BEST DRESSED PRIZE: DINNER AND A MASSAGE FOR TWO AT VILLA ROSA KEMPINSKI. Just remember to dress to kill and to impress the judges and walk away with the top prize. The judges will be mingling with the crowd to pick out a winner.

Kenya has some very witty and creative people who are successfully moving away from mainstream media and going the digital way.This is through blogs and web-series.
One successful web-series is ‘In the Forest’ with Gerald Langiri and now you guys can enjoy a new web-series.
“Ujinga Saucer” is a new Web-series produced at Urban Design Studios (UDS) that promises to release a riveting webisode every week. The show is focused on discussing social issues from an ‘ujinga` point of view .
It’s inspired by the fact that many issues are just discussed from only one point of view plus a lot of social issues are not discussed in public as people shy away from issues that are sensitive.
Shizzo (Wilson Muirani) who hosts the show says that”We believe people will get insight on some of issues and change their thinking.”
Here is “Ujinga Saucer”

A perfect example: Octopizzo’s former rap group members.
Slum and Virus, part of Octopizzo’s old crew YGB (Young Gifted and Black) have released their debut video ” Lose Yaself”.
The two rappers said to have bile with the Number Nane rapper say they released the track and video to prove they are not under the shadow of Octopizzo.

If you are a social media addict In sure you never got to miss Huddah’s epic Tweefs and ‘oops’ moments on social media.Her antics were morphine and haters and lovers alike flocked her accounts for a daily dose of ‘Huddah Monroe Drama’ .
Then Huddah Monroe suddenly left social media and as much as it bites to admit,it has been awfully quiet since Huddah Monroe left .She left a void that could only be filled by a drama loving, controversial socialite and no one stepped up to the plate.
This void has been filled by the Huddah Reborn parody account . The tweets in the account are very unlike Huddah but i find them rather hilarious. Check them out

A humble brag is, as defined by Urban Dictionary.com, “Subtly letting others now about how fantastic your life is while undercutting it with a bit of self-effacing humor or “woe is me” gloss.”
Well, social media has given guys (and celebs alike) far-reaching platforms through which they can connect with their friends (and fans either to promote new projects or )to let them know what they’re up to. All this could be considered useful.
However, social media is also used as a way of showing off possessions and even bodies, prompting the question, “Do we really care?”
Anyhow, ‘Ivo Ndio Kunaendanga’ hit-maker has come out to address all the braggarts around you. He opines;
“people should stop bragging coz those who think are better than u there are better people than them…
#shida si kuoa ..inadepend umeona nani
#gari si shida …inadepend ni gari gani
# shida si kuwa msanii inadepend unaimba nini

# madem shida si kachali shida ni kachali kagani uko nako
#shida si kusoma sana kuliko wengine shida ni hayo masomo unayatumia

Only 32 nations make it to play in the 2014 FIFA World Cup, but the whole world can participate and that’s why Octopizzo will be representing Kenya, in a big way.
The official FIFA song, “We Are One (Ole Ola)” which teams Pitbull with Jennifer Lopez and Brazilian singer Claudia Leitte tells the world to “put your flags up in the sky” and embrace the worldwide party that the World Cup is bound to be.
Octopizzo, Lady Jay Dee and Brazilian-American ‘X Factor’ Finalist, David Correy, have been selected by Coca Cola (official sponsors of World Cup) to come up with a non-official anthem alongside the the official 2014 FIFA World Cup anthem, which was released Monday.
After revealing the news, Octo posted;
“Whatever beginning goals you set for yourself, following through on them will build momentum and a sense of achievement and those small success will point the way to bigger ones,Content Isn’t King, It’s the Kingdom.”
World Cup kicks off on June 12.
One can not underestimate the power and influence of Big Brother Africa. In 90 or less days you are exposed to Africa and the world at large and you are expected to play your game right and make a lasting impression not only on the fans but also the corporates.

Why do people take selfies? Trying to answer that question is like trying to answer why do people tweet the same story that everyone else is tweeting?
Anyway, as you try to figure out an answer the trend is going on. After seeing Machakos Governor, Dr. Alfred Mutua, taking a selfie, it was now time for President Uhuru to do it before the selfie craze dies down, because there’s a new craze which asks participants to stick sellotape all over their face to create gruesome pictures has taken the internet by storm
It was Citizen TV’s political and current affairs reporter that convinced the CIC to take a selfie after an exclusive interview at State House; and there was no way he was going to turn it down. Besides, who said presidents are only confined to handshakes?
Here’s that selfie of the year;
But why take a selfie with the head of state? You ask. Well, because the Presidential selfie is a much bigger deal than people realize.
Here’s the exclusive interview she had with Jacque;

Last week, Lupita Nyong’o made history by being the first black person to sign with French beauty company Lancome.This move has sparked a war on Twitter from nemesis Dencia.
This is because Lupita has signed a deal with a company that sells bleaching cream; the very thing Lupita was condemning in her speech at The 7th annual Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon.
Lancome’s Whitening cream
The cream Lancome’s Blanc Expert, promises similar results as Whitenicious. The cream is described as “the latest brightening technology designed to regulate melanin production and awaken the luminosity of the skin.”
This move has created ammunition for Dencia,and I bet Dencia will ride on this for quite a while
But they sell bleaching cream tho RT @IamNappyBaby: @IamDencia b—h lupita is the new face of Lancôme!! SHE WINS!! And you’re just TRASH[sic]
Which was followed by this:
Too many hypocrites!! They can’t even keep up!!! Most people hate things they can’t have but will jump on it if they had the opportunity.

Some fans even agreed with Dencia
Dencia has a point about Lancôme’s melanin regulating cream “the latest brightening technology” designed 2 ‘awaken’ the skin’s “luminosity.”
