Ken Wa Maria Gets Himself A Gun! (PHOTO)

Ken Wa Maria has had one of the biggest songs in recent memories and trust that his bank account shows it. And with that also comes a new type of attention. The type which is enthusiastically applied with alot of pressure around your neck as you are relieved of all your belongings.

And upon realizing that he may make friends whom he wants nothing to do with, he decided to get himself a personal bodyguard. One he can count on to be with him on those nights when things get thick and he is in a tight fix. And his friend’s name is 9millimetre. Talk about rolling like a rapper. He decided to pose with his new friend and I have a picture of the pair having some fun times together. Check it out below:

Throw Back Thursday: Check Out Brenda Wairimu When She Was Young And Fat (PHOTO)

Brenda Wairimu is one of the most beautiful women God created. Period. And you can take that statement to heaven or to hell and it will still hold true. At this point, I hope you understand that I am simply trying to win brownie point since she became recently single -but that takes nothing away from the fact that she is hot.

 

 

However, she was not always this hot. As a child, she was the embodiment of the “ugly duckling” syndrome. And by that I mean the fat girl that became hot. I am happy I never knew her as a child because I was actually a terrible little human being who would have mocked her.

K-South Are Done Forever!

For a long time, the duo of Abass Kubaff and Bamboo has been a mainstay in Kenyan entertainment. And even when they went solo, they were still a force to reckon with. These guys were there during the earliest days of Kenyan hiphop and they have done and seen it all. Even when Bamboo flew out to America, K-South was still alive -even if only in spirit.

 

But now, it would seem that Bamboo has decided to exorcise the ghost of K-South and to leave the past behind him. He recently posted this on social media:

 

 

 

 

This is truly a sad day for Kenyan hiphop lovers.

Naswa Actors Nearly Die To Bring You The Show (Photos)

Citizen TV’s Naswa is without a doubt one of the most popular shows around.

The series format is a hidden camera comedy show where funny pranks are played on unsuspecting passerbys while concealed cameras capture peoples’ reactions.

The Naswa actors make you laugh sometimes at the expense of their own safety

Sheer hostility faced by Naswa Actors

 

This stone was  aimed at a Naswa actor doing a prank

 

Papa Shirandula’s Nyaguthii Gets Kidnapped. Kidnappers Demand Huge Ransom.

You know her as Nyaguthii, the best Friend to Naliaka and daughter to the side-splitting Mama Nyaguthii.

The actress now plays a kidnapped wife in Carlos’ new song ‘Money Money’. Carlos is one of the main pranksters in hit reality series Naswa that airs on Citizen TV and employs the use of a hidden camera to capture pranks on unsuspecting members of the public.

The song is basically about how money drives us crazy to a point that we will do anything for it, even if it’s at the expense of someone else’s well being. We see how the woman in the video played by the Papa Shirandula actress gets kidnapped and her husband has to part with a hefty sum of money to get back his wife. The day is saved by some policemen who kill the kidnappers and escort’ Nyaguthii ‘back to her husband.

Newest Hip Hop Queen?

As 2013 came to an end, countless voices in music and specifically in the realm of hip hop projected that 2014 would be the year of the female MC breakthrough.

From a surface point of view, a “breakthrough” for the female rapper sounds as though they have yet to be discovered or haven’t properly developed as artists. However, if at all forgotten, there was a notable eon in Hip Hop when female MCs were not only noteworthy but successful in shows; thus allowing them to be somewhat comparable to the men of the male-dominant industry.

And now there’s a new hip hop queen in town. Even though critics have contested that that a title made in haste, Noti Flow has proven that she has a staying power and has paid her dues before ascension.

Yesterday she unveiled her spanking new video that seems to have quickly gained popularity online.

An Open Letter To All The Socialites Through The Headgirl Vera, And The Two Prefects Huddah And Corazzon: Don’t Be Selfish… We Also Want A Piece Of The Cake

REF: GOD GAVE YOU TO SERVE

 

It’s such a pity to see blessed people using their blessing just for their own personal gain. God has given us all something unique: an asset, a talent, ability… to serve His people. Why do you use yours to satisfy yourself and badly enough, you floss to us? Wewe kununua mafuta ya kupaka uso ya mamilioni inasaidia watu wa Kibra aje ukiwaambia na kuwatangazia? Unknowingly you are adding their agonies and you may be a cause of their suicides…

 

With the BIG FOLLOWING that you got, have you ever thought of changing the mindset of the people who follow you whenever they see you, or read your name, they see good deeds, they see a servant of the people, THEY SEE A NATURALY ENDOWED AFRICAN “MUM”.

Through social media, Ghafla and the likes, so many follow you, www.msupa.com has got thousands of models who aspire to be like you in all manner. IF ALL OF YOU could join hands in starting a campaign to raise funds to help the helpless in the society, the orphans in orphanages and the sick in hospitals that could really bring an impact and your legacy will live on.

 

All these people who follow you will take part in this NOBLE course; all the ladies and handsome men looking for jobs and audition alert in www.msupa.com will all be in the streets to support you. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A VERA, A HUDDAH, A CORAZZON WITH A MOTHERLY HEART BUT YOU ARE USING YOUR BIG BLESSING THE WRONG WAY and I am not afraid or ashamed to say this. Jamaneni, you are using your blessings to your own benefit while it should serve all of us and NOT “all of us with money”.

 

Sisi wenye hatuna hatutawahi enyoy hio blessing? Think of the millions you can raise by having a Charity walk to raise funds for mothers giving birth. Think of the millions you can raise in a campaign to give food to orphans! (hata basi si mfanyie Waititu campaign! Atashinda na atatumikia watu!) All the social sites that write negative Gossip about you will now have something positive to write and will all pass a positive message of you atleast even once. Instead of flossing of buying expensive shoes, ask me to take you the good shoe point in Gikomba and lets save the thousands to feed the hungry.

 

Do you know that if you die today (God forbid) in one month, we will have forgotten ALL about you? Why has Bob Marley not been forgotten? Why will Mandela not be forgotten? Waangari Maathai? Dedan Kimathi? Mahatma Gandhi? and even me! THEY (oh we) USED THEIR (our) BLESSING THE GOOD WAY TO BETTER THE SOCIETY! FYI The society holds a very negative picture of you as a socialite. Let the multitude have a feeling of your blessing. Let them have a touch of it, let them enjoy the blessing? Don’t be selfish my dear… God will see every good deed that you do.

 

 

 

WE ALL WANT A PIECE OF THE CAKE! WE ALSO WANT TO EAT!

 

 

Yours denied of the blessing,

Hague Beckons Kenyan Journalist

The High Court in Nairobi has paved way for Hague-based court, the ICC, to arrest Kenyan journalist, Walter Baraza.

The High Court issued a warrant of arrest for the arrest for the 41 year old journalist who is facing an extradition case. The order was issued following an application by the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Justice Richard Mwongo issued the warrant for Barasa’s arrest yesterday following an application lodged by Keriako Tobiko, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Barasa in August 2013. but under Kenyan law, the local authorities must obtain a warrant from a national court before arresting the suspect or extraditing him to The Hague.

The ICC’s prosecutors filed charges against Barasa for bribing and attempting to bribe witnesses in the case against Kenya’s deputy president William Ruto.

Guess who Juliani was Dedicating to his new Love song to?

Juliani drops a love song as the first single from his new album: Exponential Potential. “Mulipuko wa emotions” as he puts it best describes the song.

He raps about the worth of a woman “Jewel ka wewe usitreatiwe ka jiwe’ “Kama yeye ni man of your dreams mbona anakupa sleepless nights?” and a host of other issues found in relationships.

He uses thought provoking and sometimes funny punch lines to put his message across. He addressed such things as motives in church; taking responsibility, marriage, disagreements, the whole nine yards.

You’ll hear such phrases like “Love inajenga home, lust inatafuta room”; “ “kuinua mikono ukiworship ndio waone chanda haina pete, uattract relationship” and many more, Juliani being Juliani.

Just How Bad is the Music Situation? No Kenyan Nominated for BET. But Tanzania is Well Represented

 

In 2012, Kenya was lucky enough to land a BET nomination, thanks to hiphop group, Camp Mulla

Even though the lads (and chic) never brought home the award, at leasr Kenyan music received an international recognition. Too bad for us because Camp Mulla has since broken up, at the climax of its career, and that seems to have brought us bad luck.

And that seems to have been the closest Kenya could come to the coveted music awards.

Anyhow, Kenya won’t be represented at BET 2014 but Tanzania will, thanks to their “wonder boy”, Diamond Platnumz.

The Bongo crooner landed himself a nomination in the BEST INTERNATIONAL ACT: AFRICA category.

Diamond will square it out with Nigeria’s Davido and Tiwa Savage, SA’s Mafikizolo, Ghana’s Sarkodie, and little known Toofan from Togo.

We hope Diamond will win it because it will be a win for East Africa :-).

 

Easy FM No More. Replaced by Another Station

When Nation Media Group decided to launch its radio outfit, they decided they’re gonna call it Nation FM.

However a few years down the line, the management decided to re-brand the national radio from its name to programming to content. And that’s what we refer to as Easy FM came into being with its main target being the young and the young-at-heart who find smooth RnB appealing to their souls.

Fast-forward to 2014; Easy FM is being revamped again. From last night Easy FM as you know it was no more. In it’s place comes a new baby, Nation FM, complete with a new logo and programmimg but same frequencies.

This is part of the rebranding that began in earnest in December last year that saw some of the biggest names like Sheila Mwanyigha swept aside and Munene Nyagah transferred to Q FM.

According to sources, the rebranding will go for the next few weeks or months that’s aimed to give the radio station a national feel and outlook. The radio station that was formerly dominated by Rhythm and Blues music will now have more talk and conversation on everyday life occurrences.

News bulletins will be transmitted at the top of every hour with comprehensive 15 minutes bulletins at 1pm and 6pm.

Here’s the new logo;

DJ Creme Mourns The Death Of Someone Dear to Him (PHOTO)

DJ Creme last night received some rather sad news: he lost a fan of his who had grown to be more like his friend. And for those of you who do not know, it’s not that DJ Creme is one big sentimental puffball, he just happens to show love to those who show him love and appreciation.

Last night, DJ Creme de la Creme took to social media to mourn the passing of a certain lady and he went as far as to explain how they got to know each other and more than just the circumstance, how they got connected as friends. Check out the message below:

Octopizzo Down In South Africa Shooting A Sci-Fi Video (PHOTO)

Octopizzo is one of the most forward thinking Kenyan artists. He is just one of those guys who you can’t help but be amazed at when he begins to lay out his strategy and gameplan. Why? Because honestly,. I never pegged him to be a cerebral mind -then I received the shock of my life when I spoke to him and realized just how far ahead in time he plans.

 

So it comes as no surprise to me that he has decided to switch things up. He feels it’s about that time when he jostles everyone from their comfort zone. And he will be doing so with his new video which is currently being shot in South Africa and this is just one of the scenes in the video:
