Nairobi is gradually losing its spot as the biggest entertainment spot. After Masaku 7s and all the madness that went down, the next crazy party goes to Hippo Camp, Naivasha where the inaugural Great East Africa Marathon will be held.

August 9th will see 2014’s biggest line up of artists troop to Naivasha for the after-party of the marathon. Experienced athletes and Olympians from across East Africa are said to have confirmed participation.

According to the organizers, Candy n Candy Records, the Hippo Camp was picked because it provides revellers with that out of town and in the wild feel.

“Our main mission is to create a united East African community that’s united against terror by creating awareness and community watch,” says Candy n Candy management.

The artist line-up is to die for with Kenyan and Tanzanian heavyweights having conformed.  Tanzanian singer Baby Madaha, Atlanta rapper Danny Kay, comedian Eric Omondi, DJ Kaytrixx,DJ Deeskul, DJ Creme, DNA, Wyre, Majirani, Ng’ang’alito, Jua Cali and MC Denis Maundu.

 

 

The OLX Social Media Awards is the premier event to celebrate individuals and organizations that are leading the online revolution that is taking place in Kenya.

From Kenyans on Twitter, to avid Facebookers and bloggers, the awards seek to reward those fresh and daring social media enthusiasts whose wit, charm or revelations keep our eyes glued to the small screen and our fingers clicking.

Last year, they had a couple of sponsors including PRSK (Public Relations Society of Kenya). PRSK made SOMA awards a success and for that, the SOMA organizers are thankful for their contribution to;

• Create a platform that enhanced product & consumer engagement through creativity & innovation.

• Highlight the influence of social media on brand building and encourage companies to intensify online presence.

• Identify and celebrate the best of the best in Social media

You too can be a sponsor for SOMA awards and if you were a last year sponsor, they still need you for this years award. Check out their pages for more info;

Just when you think Avril has reached the peak of sexiness, she raises the sexy bar once again.

The ‘Kitu kimoja’ singer had jaws dropping from here to Timbuktu when she swapped the short skirts and ripped stockings for something very sophisticated. A floor length cobalt blue velvet dress.

 

 

This blue velvet dress courtesy of I Wear Kendra embodies class, softness and sophistication so over accessorizing would be a bit much, so she paired it with tiny earrings and an elegant up do.

Biko brings a new meaning to “African Lady”  with his song ‘African Lady’ where he is celebrating a lady’s dance moves and her beauty he takes the point home when he sings in Dholuo!

He serenades the women while maintaining a high level of versatility comprising of RnB and Pop infused with the ultimate African sensation.

Describing Biko will not be doing him justice, but for all ladies sake, I shall try.  Biko is smart, talented, self–driven and downright sexy did I mention sexy?

Bio

At the age of 10 his family relocated to the UK where he pursued his studies up until high school level upon which he came back to Kenya.

In 2008, Biko nurtured his singing talent through choir practice at his local church which allowed him to take part in an array of church competitions where he won the Best Solo Act category not once but three times in a row. Biko also set up a dance crew with his friend Alfred Mutuku which has enjoyed great success by winning the Rocky Dance Competition and coming in as the 2nd runner up at the highly acclaimed Sakata dance competition.

Over the years Biko has dedicated time to redefining his sound and  BIKO has worked closely with Sub Sahara’s multitalented producer, Big Soul among others and recorded songs as well as collaborations with fellow label mates. His most anticipated singles namely ‘African Lady’ and ‘Tulia Nyumbani’.

Biko’s aim is to share his life’s journey with the world through his soulful vocals and electrifying dance moves. At only 24years his life message is simple; if you believe in something, pray and hold on to it and watch it manifest into reality.

They hang out together, take not many but too many selfies together and were even spotted at the Masaku 7s over the weekend! It’s been scientifically proven that men and women can’t just be friends, but when asked, Comedian YY denied and went ahead to say that they have been friends for  a year now. “I and Zeddy are good friends and nothing more,I respect her and she respects me” He added.  Check out the photos and feel free to comment if you think this two are “just” friends.

So, yesterday, Chairman of the National Authority for the Campaign against Alcohol and Drug Abuse Board, John Mututho, voiced his concerns on how Kenyans imbibed booze at the just concluded Masaku 7s and threatened to ban the popular rugby tournament.

Well, Kenyans (on Twitter) haven’t taken it lightly and reacted to his sentiments the best way they do. Trooping to Twitter, the Kenyans thought Mututho should as well ban other things, that have alcoholic connotations.

For instance;

So, after almost a week of searching for ratchet moments from Masaku 7s, our rummage around have finally borne fruits. And one thing is for sure; Kenyans have successfully managed to bring the ratchet culture into mainstream Kenya as though it were a fancy new handbag.

Ratchet culture has steadily infiltrated pop culture as if it were oil flowing over silk, ruining everything in its path. It’s embrace can be seen all over the internet and at events; from the carefree underdressed teen at the most popular event in town to oversexualization of women by themselves (often through twerking videos) or extreme, petty violence by men.

Anyway, Masaku 7s was where ratchetness decided to take a sit, lean back and sip a glass of wine. And the traffic jam made things worse as guys parked their cars and started showing their weird wild side right on the highway.

So here, ladies and gentlemen are the top 5 ratchet photos from Masaku 7s;

So now we have our own Octopus, famously known as Jua Cali. Check him out doing his thing below;
