From Kanye To Jay Z: This Is How Much It Will Cost To Get These Top Stars To Perform In Kenya

While trawling the internets for an interesting story to put up and  decided to find out why Kenya is no longer a hot destination for top rated celebrities -we only seem to attract Jamaican artists and let’s face it, they aren’t particularly the creme de la creme of international stardom… I actually believe they are cheaper than their Nigerian counterparts.

 

And I know that the ratchet hoipoloi guys will begin to say that the likes of Vybz Kartel and Konshens are international acts but alas! They only come to Kenya for free concerts! Some may argue that 500/- isn’t free… Slap them. I just slapped Vincent Omondi for that argument!

Now, onto the real celebrities and how much the cost:

Kiss TV’s Curvaceous Grace Msalame Remembers Her Prominent Late Dad

It’s been four years since the country lost one of radio and TV greatest talents, Tony Msalame, who passed away on June 28, 2010.

The King of Radio lives on through his lasting legacy. There are few of today’s radio stars who can’t say they’ve been influenced by him in some way. Many radio hosts today would be nowhere had it not had been for the influence, inspiration and radio & TV genius in which the late Msalame shared with them.

Msalame trail blazed modern FM Radio entertainment in Kenya with his Sheki Legi program. His ilk includes the evergreen Freddy Obachi Machoka (the blackest man in black Africa), Khadija Ali, John Karani, Jeff Mwangemi among others.

His daughter, Kiss TV’s Grace Msalame commemorated the day with a quote from legendary revered poet and author, Maya Angelou, who unfortunately passed on last evening.

Here’s Grace’s message;

This Is What Happens Behind the Scenes at ‘State House’

Ian Mugoya Blasts Kenya’s Comedy; “Jokes Are Mostly Tribal”

For a while now we have been subjected to an endless stream of  tribal comedy .We have been treated to never ending jokes about Kikuyu’s love for money, jokes about laziness at the Coast, accent jokes and jokes on Kamba’s love for bright colors.

Don’t get me wrong, tribal jokes can be funny, even international comedians such as Trevor Noah and Russell Peters know that ethnic humor can be funny and employ them once in a while. But when the theme is overplayed the jokes slowly become fusty and that is what is happening to Kenyan comedy right now.

Tribal jokes are no longer that funny, witty humor, dirty jokes and situational humor might just be what your audience needs. This is a sentiment echoed by Ian Mugoya who thinks that the tribal humor card has been overplayed like Pharrell ‘ssong “Happy”. He reckons that Kenyan comedians lack content and keep recycling the same old jokes, and lack other aspects of humor such as double entendre and paraprosdokian. (I had to google that)

Find out more on what he has to say about Kenyan comedy in the clip below

This Is Too Funny: Musalia Mudavadi Gets Treated To The Aromat Effect By KOT (PHOTO)

Musalia Mudavadi is one of Kenya’s most prolific politicians and given just how much Kenyans are prone to hero-worshiping politicians, I never thought the day would come when i would see Kenyans make fun of him but alas! And it’s not that Ghafla has become a site for political pundits, this just a thing for all things LOL!

 

And so, my funny bone was tickled when I came across a picture of Musalia Mudavadi before the Aromat effect and for everyone who happens to know Cleveland from the Family Guy animated series or later from the Cleveland show, then this will be quite a treat:

Talia Oyando Steps Out Looking Sexier Than Ever, Showing Off Her Thighs On A Night Out! (PHOTO)

Talia Oyando was once known as the night nurse back in her youth. That was when she was a supple, seductive, sultry voiced young lass on Easy Fm (now defunct and replaced with Nation FM). Then she had to grow older, get married and have a child. Sigh! And I had written her off because let’s be honest, Kenyan celebrities grow older, have children and acquire the same shape as a plastic bag of Kerosene.

 

But God’s Chosen Blogger has recently discovered that everything I thought I knew about Talia Oyando is wrong! She is not happy to sit on her laureals as she gets more and more out of shape, if anything, she is looking sexier than ever having gotten thicker in all the right places. Hai!

This lass looks like life and love have shone their graces upon her! This lass would make a man empty his bank account trying to win her! Her husband is one unfortunate man! Because now, he has to contend with all the unwanted attention being paid to his sexy spouse!

“A Woman Has Nothing More To Give To A Man In Appreciation Apart From Sex.” Maina and King’ang’i in the Morning

When you tune in to Maina and King’ang’I in the morning you will either get shocked, angry or having a good laugh.

Well today when i tuned in and heard what was being discussed i was maddened by  a man who called in and arrogantly alleged that that the only thing his wife could offer in return for his gifts was sex.

Adding that”A woman has nothing more to give to a man in appreciation apart from sex….”

Yell

 

I was super pissed, beyond vexed, irritated and I felt that making such a statement was not only disrespectful to his women but all women.

Tune in to contribute and shake your fists at this unbelievable topic.

And for the record, not everyone who goes on telly gets their make up done. Personally, I always refuse because make up is for the birds. I keep it straight gangsta -not that I am gangsta, I just say that because it sounds cool. Now for the picture:

Nigerian Actor Jim IYke Dropped from John Kiriamiti’s “My Life in Crime

 

Nigerian movie bad boy, Jim Iyke won’t get the chance to play the lead role in a Kenyan movie.

This was revealed at the just concluded Broadcasting, Film and Music Africa Conference where Serah Mwhihaki, a panelist, was responding to questions fielded by delegates. Mwihaki, a screen writer for ‘My Life in Crime‘, a movie adapted from a book of the same title revealed that Iyke may be dropped from the movie.

According to Mwihaki, the Nigerian was dropped from the movie due to high production costs.

Iyke was cast as John Kiriamiti, a hard core criminal who is now reformed. The movie was set to begin shooting later this year.

My Life in Crime is a 1984 novel by Kenyan author John Kiriamiti. It is a fictionalized account of Kiriamiti’s criminality in Kenya during the 1960s and 1970s.

The Journey That Is Fatherhood: DJ Kaytrixx Opens Up About Fatherhood

Fatherhood, one of the most under-appreciated institutions there is. Motherhood is celebrated but fatherhood? Fatherhood is often relegated to being celebrated in secret with a poster. But I can relate why halfway; it is hard to say these three words to our fathers: “I LOVE YOU”. Why? Because fathers are the bastion of authority and it’s hard to get mushy with them.

But I refuse to let this opportunity to celebrate fatherhood pass me by. Especially because Johnnie Walker has given us the best way to show our love for anyone who has commenced their journey into fatherhood.
And so today, i would like to celebrate DJ Kaytrixx who embarked on his journey by scoring a double whammy -twins. And so I asked him to tell us about how he felt when he was informed that he would be embarking on his journey:

 

 

Fatherhood is one of the most amazing gifts that you can be given by God.

Since the day I knew I was going to be a Dad, I’ve been very excited.
I started planning immediately and got everything in order for their delivery at MP Shah.
Wifey had to have an emergency CS because one of our boys was underweight so he stayed in the incubator for a few days but thank God everybody came out of hospital fine.
They’ve been growing ever since.

 

There’s a feeling of pure love that you get from a child that is priceless.
I believe that a person determines what kind of life their kid(s) will have so for me it’s hard work all the way.
I know I will spoil them but they will deserve it because they’ve brought a lot of happiness in our lives.

A happy fathers day all the father’s out there who take care of their people and always remember, do not educate your children to be rich, educate them to be happy so that when they grow up, they’ll know the value of things and not the price.

 

And what would I get to appreciate this father? I’d get him a bottl;e of this:

 

Why? Because…
