Month: October 2015

I called him  the Don a few days ago. I finished my discourse by calling him the true Kenyan G. The real MVP

 CMB Prezzo stays relevant all the time, like the true entertainer- he is never pressed to release songs every fortnight  in order to stay in touch with reality or his fans like some commoners we know. That is why he still fancies himself as the #Rapcellency or subtly put- Prezzo  is still the Kenyan rap- genius. 

Today on an update he revealed where his recent motivation is stemming from. He wrote: 

prezzo254: Watch me build this empire like Lucious #Rapcellency #TrulyUnruly

He looks up to to Lucious Lyon of the Empire Fame and has vowed to build his Empire just like Lucious. So if you thought you were the only one watching the fox Tv Series, you might want to include his rapcellency into that picture. 

Today’s Ghafla Girl And Fashionista Of The Day: Charlet

I think we have all had that moment, that moment where you send a PG rated message to the wrong person, and it’s all awkward after that.

But one Bro Ocholla probably takes the cake for one of the most awkward episodes yet as he sent a very sexy message to members of his church congregation. A message that has since gone viral. The flirtatious text reads “You seem to love my voice. This voice will whisper asking how you are feeling when you will be having your orgasms at cloud nine.”

 

Tehehe, I don’t think there is anything more mortifying than your ‘oops’ moment going viral and creating memes.

But it’s not only KOT who have something to say about Bro Ocholla’s ‘Oops Moment’. Ciku Muriuri , the self-proclaimed ‘ho-to-cheat’ guru thinks Ochola should have been more tactical as he tried to remove himself from the sticky situation.

Bro Ocholla is an idiot. He should’ve simply said, my brothers and sisters, one of the people in this group has just sent me that unfortunate message. Let’s pray for them.

This year’s All African Music Awards (AFRIMA) not to be confused by the African Music Magazine Awards (AFRIMMA), is set to take place on November 15th this year.

The event has seen over 100 of the continent’s leading musical acts confirm participation form Diamond Platinumz to Yemi Alade and H_art the Band to Olamide and Davido all confirm attendance. With so much glitz and glamour as well as celebrity vibe expected, the eyes will be focused on the winners selected in a rather rigorous process. This year’s award recognizes music that was produced from May 31, 2014 to July 20, 2015.

Quite a number of the nominated artistes will come as a surprise. Here is the full list of the nominated artists who will be flying the Kenyan Flag

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The multitalented Pierra Makena is warming up for a major cast. Perhaps she’s eying more awards come next year.

Pierra Makena has tried her hand in all facets of the lucrative entertainment industry. She is a goddess on the spinning decks (where she made a name for herself), she’s a singer and she is also a dope actress.

The dazzling Kenyan lady has already won an international prize from her acting career which is still picking.

Pierra won best supporting actress for her role in the movie ‘When Love Comes Around’ at the annual Nollywood and African Film Critics awards (NAFCA).

Her win could have opened another window of opportunity for Pierra to exploit her acting career. The actress was seen rehearsing for her next project.

She didn’t reveal the film she will be casting for but from her rehearsal, the hint suggested something scary since she was shouting on top of her voice.

Watch Pierra rehearse in the below video;

Most of the time, politics and entertainment are like water and oil, they do not mix.

Kenyan entertainers Mwongolo and John Kiarie attempted to establish a career in politics but their political ambitions bit the dust alongside their careers in entertainment.

But in Tanzania, it’s a whole different ball game as youthful celebrities are able to cross over into politics easily unlike Kenya. Professor Jay (real name Joseph Haule) known for songs such as ‘Zali La Mentali’ and ‘Joto Hasira’ is now the MP for Mikumi Constituency.

 

 

The rapper clinched the seat on a CHADEMA Party Ticket with 32,259 votes while his closest rival Jonas Nkya (CCM) got 30,425 votes. He beat his opponent with 1834 votes.

Following his epic win, Jay took to social media to announce his win and write“ASANTE SANA MUNGU ASANTENI SANA Wana Mikumi wenzangu kwa kuniamini.”

Apparently a section of ladies have been on Bahati’s neck constantly tormenting him about his inability to raise his kids on his own. Bahati has since hit back.

Bahati, who is in his early 20s, is a father to three kids; Rose (10), Purity (4) and Morgan (4). The gospel singer is yet to convince many he can effectively tender to his children on his own.

In a chat with Ghafla! Bahati revealed people have started to take him serious as a parent with exception of ladies.

He says girls have been a pain on the neck continuously reminding him to consider marrying a woman who will effectively take care of his three kids.

“Siku hizi watu wananichukua serious ispokua tudem dem, wako na ufala sana. Wanadai ohh I can be a perfect mom. Wasichana wanakuanga jokers sana. Wanadhani uzazi ni rahisi. Msichana mmoja …Ule msichana atakuja nimwachie hawa watoto siku mbili atanitoroka.”

The All African Music Awards are set to happen on 15th November this year. The event which is organized in partnership with the African Union will take place at the Eko Hotel and Suites on Victoria Island in Lagos.

In an event which seeks to celebrate African music, over thirty artists from all over the continent have been selected to perform at the awards ceremony. Among those slated to perform is one Kenyan musician whose stoke has been rising high ever since he hit the scene with his multi million debut.

Gospel artiste, Papa Dennis has achieved the coveted honor and will be performing alongside 35 other artists. The red carpet starts at 6pm while the awarding ceremony starts from 8pm. The selection to perform at such a prestigious ceremony comes a few days when the artiste arrived in Dubai to shoot a multi-million funded video by a tycoon based there. Here is the poster for the event;

 

How fast kids grow is usually a common cliche’ but looking at DJ Creme’s adorable little angel, it is quite an apt statement.

You can hardly tell she is six months, what with her lovely eyes, straight and cheery face. The decks master took time from his rather busy schedule and hoverboarding pastime to celebrate the daughter’s milestone( You see ladies even men get touched by such small matters by the way. We are not exactly brutes!)

Celebrating the achievement of daughter Zawadi, the DJ noted ‘

“My Daughter Zawadi Turns 6 Months Today.. 6 Months of Happiness and God’s Favour, We Thank God for You On a Daily. The Smile you put on our faces is Priceless, Sent from Above.. Happy 6 Months my Angel .. We Love You So very Much“

Here is the photo of the little angel and we wish her a healthy and blessed lifetime.

 

Kenya’s number one Afro-pop group Sauti Sol is still riding high on their new hit Isabella, the sixth single off their third album; Live And Die In Afrika.

And before we get the hang of Isabella, the band is already back in studio with Ali Kiba. The talented individuals are doing a song that is expected to feature in Sauti Sol’s upcoming album, set for release this year. Maybe that is why they are back in the studio so fast, to enable them to complete the album by December 31st when the year comes to a close.

And we cannot think of a better collaboration as Ali Kiba and Sauti Sol are known for their prowess in crafting songs and telling a story, so this song should be pretty amazing.

Dear brethren, Feel free to christen me the modern day Moses because today I am going to give you the 10 commandments of clubbing. Dear Israelites, Partylites and Alcoholites. The heavens have spoken. Adhere to these rules that I give unto you and you shall live happily ever after.

1. Thou shall not order expensive liquor for your friends then ask them to contribute to the bill

When you have gone out as a group of friends, there are those guys who always feel like they should order expensive liquor like Jameson or Johnnie Walker for everyone. The only problem is that these guys ask for a harambee when it comes to paying the bills. Come on. Why should you order expensive liquor for me then ask me to pay for it , Behave idiot.

2. Thou shall not have raw lungula with a one night stand

Enough emphasis has already been put on this. People still don’t listen but they should.. Never raw dog a chips funga. I repeat…never raw dog a chips funga. Once again…..never raw dog a chips funga. Now let’s sing……never raw dog a chips funga. X3. Get it? Just because they’re hot doesn’t mean that they don’t have an STD . Whether you are the fungarer or the fungaree, don’t accept it. Love yourself first.

3. Thou shall not hang out with douchebags

It annoys me when my night is ruined because I have to take care of a drunk friend. It’s a major chore that one doesn’t even get paid for.

And you don’t get the gratitude you deserve because the said friend would be like, “Mazeee I was so drunk last night I don’t remember A THING”.

If yes, stop hanging out with people who can’t regulate their alcohol intake. They aren’t doing you any favours. Such friends only serve to bring you down and take the fun you deserve away.

The thing is, a lot of people tolerate such annoyances because they care about how they seem like to others. E.g. they don’t want to come across as petty or a downer in the group.

But they forget what is best for themselves.It’s more fun to be with a group you’re more in tune with. You can even grow as a person. Don’t hold back on your own standards and I’m certain you can find a group where you truly belong in.

4. Thou shall not hit on another man’s girl

Then there are always guys who think that they are excellent pick up artists. They hit on each and every chic they see, even prostitutes. Bad behavior. Always keep off people’s girlfriends.

5. Thou shall not leave without knowing the whereabouts of the people you came with

Care about each other. I salute chics for adhering to this commandment better than men. It’s always nice to know where you friends are and who they have left with. Don’t just assume they are in safe hands. Shit happens.

6. Thou shall not leave your drink unattended

If you accidentally leave your drink unattended even for a minute, forget about I and get a new one. ‘Mchele’ is real. It has always been. Ever since alcohol was invented, people have been drugged, gotten raped or had their valuables stolen

7. Thou should wear comfortable shoes

I see chics at clubs all the time who wear heels that are too high, and they end up complaining the entire night about how much their feet hurt. Another thing that women do that I don’t really understand is that they take their shoes off and think that it’s completely sanitary to walk on the city street barefoot. So unless you don’t want foot fungus or glass in your foot, wear comfy shoes. Wear flats if you want.

8. Thou shall not hit the club earlier than 10pm

If you are a party animal, you know when the insane music hits the club and that’s when you enter the club to groove and get down on the music.

9. Thou shall walk away from danger

Frustration, irritation and anger can be easily built up in a club. And they all seem like they’re justifiable. After all, you didn’t do anything wrong. Does this mean you should start a fight or even confront your supposed adversary?

No.

You simply need to walk away, before you do something you regret.

Walk away, and let it go.

The media may make it seem like you’re standing up for your manhood or that repressing yourself is a bad thing. But it isn’t.

The reality is that, again it’s your own responsibility to take care and watch out for yourself. Fighting, confronting or arguing to “win” isn’t going to stop the world from throwing unfairness at you. A more stark reality would be that you may end up at the hospital or with a ruined reputation.

10. Thou shall not stand on the dancefloor if you are doing nothing

If you need to validate your evening’s experience not by dancing but by constantly updating your Facebook page or posting pictures on your Instagram, then get yourself off the dancefloor. Leave space for the serious dancers.

El Nino is coming people…okay; it has been for the past couple of weeks. The government seems to be taking precautionary measures but are you? Like have you gotten yourself a new pair of boots to manouever the Nairobi streets which more often than not always flood? Didn’t think so…..

Have you even started considering how you’ll handle matatu operators who will take advantage of the situation? They’ll definitely make sure to mint every single coin by charging very exorbitant fares. The more the rain drops, then the more the fares will go up. I bet most of you will start paying double so if you have ever considered buying a car, this is the opportune time.

Actually forget buying one…what if I told I can get you one for free? A really swanky one which will make sure you get the attention you deserve? Yes, through the Smartika na Airtel campaign which is currently underway, you can basically win yourself a brand new car simply by just communicating with your friends. And it doesn’t matter whatever means you use…calls, texts, whatsapp, instagram you name it…

Just to break it all down for you, this is how. Look out for a daily SMS which Airtel will send you, with your 5X target for the day. Once that is settled, make sure you Call, SMS and access data from your Airtel line so as to reach and ‘Fikisha’ your 5X target for the day

Once you FIKISHA your 5X target, you will get a Confirmation SMS on target achievement, as well as a complimentary 500% airtime bonus to use across all networks. You can use the 500% airtime bonus to browse, SMS and make calls across all networks.

You will then be automatically entered into the daily draw for a chance to win a Toyota Axio, as well as other daily cash and airtime prizes.

Dating and finding the right person can be tough; dating in the limelight is even more knotty and complex.

Mostly because one cannot tell the difference between someone who loves you for who you really are and who is in love with the spotlight that comes with your name.

And that is one of the reasons Bahati gives for having not picked the right woman to introduce to the world as ‘the one’ . Bahati revealed that he is looking for a girl who loves him as Kevin the person and not Bahati the celebrity. Saying that it’s really tricky to find a girl who genuinely wants to date Kevin. He also says that he  doesn’t want to rush into dating as he is avoiding that situation where he keeps introducing different girls to the public eye as his girlfriend, like someone we know.

 

Bahati

Another reason he has not settled down yet is because he has to be sure that the woman he is dating loves his kids, as he does not want to introduce a different mum to his kids all the time.

But he says that once he gets the right one, he will definitely introduce her to the public.

Check out more of what he said about dating below:

Last Wednesday, The Star published a story about the Deputy President’s multi-billion shillings home on their front page.

“Ruto building sh1.2bn home in Uasin Gishu” was such a sweet headline on the front page of a leading newspaper that I found hard to resist.

See Also: DP Ruto Builds A Kes 1.2 Billion Home With A Private Airstrip In Eldoret Town

The Deputy President was amused when he saw the amount he was allegedly spending to put up a ‘State House’ in the village.

Kenyans started trolling the deputy president after the news broke about his Kes 1.2 billion palatial home in Uasin Gishu County.

DP then decided to shed light on the whole 1.2 billion house thing after the Star’s story went viral. Ruto was equally shocked that he was coughing out Kes 1.2 billion to put up a house in a bush somewhere in Uasin Gishu while he could use the same amount to build a 100-bed hotel in Nairobi which would return his investment.

“A billion shillings can build a 100-bed hotel in Nairobi. Only a fool would take Sh1.2B to the village to build a house.” The DP tweeted.

The King of Genge may be a veteran rapper but certainly his game is still on check. This was evident when he rocked revelers at a city night club.

The atmosphere was ‘just there’, partygoers shaking legs and quaffing booze. But the moment Jua Cali hit the stage at Dragon Bar and Grill in Githurai 44, them ladies went gaga.

Paul Julius Nunda AKA Juacali could be 36 years old but don’t rule out the fact that he is still an A-List artist who ladies can’t get enough of. Perhaps he’s even better than most of this upcoming young cats.

If you hear Jua Cali bragging about how he’s ‘Baba Yao’, know that indeed he is. So ‘Bidii Yangu’ hit maker takes to the stage then all over sudden ladies get infatuated by his presence.

The irrational excessive enthusiasm from ladies sobered up all the drunkards in the club. Girls were acting like they were possessed by some ratchet demon.

Shouts, cries and all other funny voices reverberated across the hall as Jua Cali hit the stage. The rapper could notice ladies were yearning for a piece of his and he allowed them to join him on stage to shake legs together.

The story can be narrated better by the photos captured during the event. See the pictures in the photo gallery below:

Top Trending Images In Nairobi This Morning

 {igallery id=5054|cid=3104|pid=1|type=category|children=0|addlinks=0|tags=|limit=0}

The Trend host flew to the UK over the weekend in the pursuit of pleasure. But his stay in the birthplace of Shakespeare had its own shortcoming, Larry was robbed.

Larry Madowo has a knack for gallivanting around the globe. Every now and then he flies to the far corner of planet earth for both pleasure and business.

The NTV anchor was spotted in Twickenham stadium watching All Blacks make mincemeat of the Springboks in a hotly contested Rugby World Cup semi final.

It was after he came from watching the New Zealand/South Africa game that Larry sounded the alarm when he discovered something vital was missing in his hotel room.

Larry says his passport was stolen from his hotel in London. Lucky the Kenyan High Commission to the UK issued him with another one just in time.

“My passport got stolen from my hotel in London yesterday so I was in the market for a new one this morning. I walked into the Kenyan High Commission this morning and got a new one in just under 2 hours.” Larry divulged.

 

Just yesternight we heard about the worrying WHO report. Apparently Kenya’s favorite delicacy, nyama choma, has carcinogenic substance that causes bloat cancer. NTV host was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and Kenyan artists have united to see that she get medical help without straining.

NTV’s N-Sonko Property host, Janet Kanini Ikua, was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer a while ago. The TV presenter was bold enough to tell Kenyans about her condition.

Her revelation hit headlines across the nation, and Kenyans having a knack for helping out where they can, decided to chip in their contributions towards Janet’s treatment.

Artists were also not left behind to help the NTV host. United Kenyan musicians and comedians will host a family concert that is aimed at raising funds for Kanini.

The concert will be held on the 8th of November at the Carnivore Grounds from 6.00pm. Octopizzo, Size 8, Sauti Sol, Willy Paul, Churchill, Daddy Owen, Jaguar, P Unit, Rufftone, Khaligraph among others are all expected to attend.

Proceeds from the concert will be channeled to settle the medical bill for Janet. You can also help by contributing whatever amount to Mpesa paybill number 895790, account name Janet Kanini Ikua.

 

Babu’s salvos were enough to send chills up and down the spine of owners of the popular 1824 Whiskey Bar and Lounge.

Yesterday, controversial SoNU chairman, Babu Owino, threatened to carry out ‘peaceful’ demonstrations against 1824 Whiskey Bar and Lounge following claims UoN students were roughed up by the joint’s bouncers.

The popular Langata Road joint reacted quickly to avoid a confrontation with the fierce University of Nairobi student leader.

1824 Whiskey Bar and Lounge confirmed its bouncers viciously attacked UoN students but they assured Babu the bouncers would face the music.

The entertainment joint says the said bouncers have been apprehended by the police and that the club has also settled the medical bills for the UoN students battered by the bouncers.

Following 1824 assurance to Babu, the SoNU chairman opted to cancel the planned ‘peaceful’ demonstrations.

As the Tanzanian presidential results trickle in, some of the parliamentary candidates can start early celebrations. Among this is Joseph Haule well known to music fans as Professor Jay. Prof J is the MP elect for Mikumi constituency.

He was elected on a Chadema Ticket which is one of the opposition parties that formed a coalition to rival CCM. the artist is well known for his social conscious songs many an outcry against the bad leadership experienced in the country especially by MPs. It is thus going to be interesting to see how he is going to lead life in the political arena having carried out a successful campaign that resulted in a hard fought victory.

 

Morning beautiful people? It’s a bright Tuesday morning here in Nairobi City, how are things from wherever you are? Yesternight i realized my TV had an extra channel; Citizen TV’s sister station is up and running. Inooro TV broadcasting in Gikuyu language had interesting programs even though i couldn’t comprehend a word i heard. Next in line is Ramogi TV, RMS is yet to confirm the date when the TV will go on air. That aside, below are the trendy stories we have for you this morning;

Today was Uhuru’s 54th birthday and with the country engulfed in a myriad of political, economical and social issues, you would have thought today is the day people would leave him to take a break.

On the contrary, rather than face long lists of best wishes and be opening numerous presents, the president is faced witha long bucket list. From politicians to activists to KOT, everyone had a message of what the president of Kenya should do. Infact KOT had the #WHATUHURUSHOULDDO trending. However, Activist extraordinaire, Boniface Mwangi chose a different tact, penning a letter.

It is not the first time Boniface Mwangi penned a letter to Uhuru Kenyatta. However, this time he was more hard hitting taking time to trace the current issues from the founding father’s era. He challenged Uhuru to match the lasting legacies achieved by people much younger from Malcom X to Martin Luther King Jr to Bob Marley.

The letter covers Kenyatta’s family riches, to corruption to Jubilee’s policy. At the end note, the letter even had a dedication song, ‘Sheria’ by Sarabi featuring Juliani. Get the full letter here.

 

When it comes to doing big music videos currently few people do it like Papa Dennis.

From his multi-million debut ‘Makekes’ through to the ‘Njoo’ whose launch was attended even by politicians, the diminutive musician is the king of showbizz in the gospel industry. Just recently it became known that a Dubai based tycoon had decided to invest over 10million shillings to the production of his new video.

The high cost of the video means many things will be high end and it now appears even the dancers will be exotic too. Here are the photos of the singer with some of the dancers at a practice session.

 

Victoria Kimani sure has a pretty face, there is no doubt about that. But believe you me she faced discrimination in the US for having a face for the radio.

She moved from the US and settled in Nigeria to pursue her music career. You get to understand why Victoria Kimani fled the land of milk and honey to do her music in Mama Africa, when you hears her revelation.

The ‘Show’ hit maker opened up about her predicament in the US when she was grilled by Coke Studio. She says Black Americans told her she didn’t have the face for music because she was dark in complexion.

“I got into songwriting because initially my songs were good, my voice was good, my image was not cross enough. And the things that everyone loves me for here might be the same thing I was rejected for in the US. You are not white, you are not mixed race, you are not light skin. It was shocking for me.” Victoria divulged.

The songstress says following her discrimination in the US she thought she could have excelled there were she to bleach her skin even though she affirmed she wasn’t tempted to lighten her skin.

Watch the interview in the video below;

 

After a period of lackluster hip- hop releases from some of the leading lights around, Kayvoh Kforce offers something worthwhile in his recent hit ‘Stay Alive’.

In this laid back, hit that covers his struggle to stay in life and music you get everything that has marked him out as one of the best hip hop artists in the country.  A tight flow in both languages, great lyrics and a simple effectively done video are all the hallmarks of the new hit. The intro marks it out that this will be a song the artist will not go ham on.

It is not laden with social conscious stuff but you do not get blank lines either. He seamlessly blends fast rhymes and slower ones taking holding you all through to the cool beat and the lovely performance. However, you get the feeling he could do more but then this is a feel good relaxing song. Here is the video

 

Rabbit Kaka Sunguru has more songs than most artists who joined the industry way earlier before him. Those are just the songs that he had released, you haven’t heard about the ones he’s yet to drop.

To my understanding, releasing a song requires a great deal of time and money. It seems Rabbit has both of them.

Rashid Abdalla sat the rapper down to shed light on his flourishing music career on QTV’s segment, ‘Swali Moja’.

The most interesting part of the conversation was the number of songs the rapper has. Rabbit says he joined the industry way back in 2008 with a complete album.

He revealed he had already recorded over 700 unreleased songs, 6 mix tapes and has 4 albums which have about 16 songs per album.

Even Lulu Hassan’s hubby found his revelation hard to fathom. Rabbit told him he doesn’t drink nor smoke, so most of his time he spends in studio recording songs.

From now henceforth if you hear songs like‘Gerarahia’ and many other jam from Rabbit, just know the rapper has many other songs lined up just about to be released. 700…

Death has robbed Inspekta Mwala crew one of its actors. The hilarious Citizen TV program which airs on Mondays will be without the services of Bokello from now henceforth.

Bon Okello best known as Bokello on Inspekta Mwala has passed on. The actor who also used to work for RMS’ Radio Ramogi died after ailing for long.

The deceased hadn’t appeared on the Citizen TV program for a while. He once featured in an episode of Inspekta Mwala while he was sick and this sparked a long debate on his health.

Bokello used to play a role of a cop at Kona-Mbaya Police station who would occasionally receive bribe from citizens and in the process collide with his vertically-challenged boss, Inspekta Mwala aka Davis Mwabili.

The entire team Ghafla! hereby express our sincere condolence to the family of the deceased and the entire Inspekta Mwala crew for the great loss. May the good Lord rest his soul in eternal peace!

We shall be updating you more on this once we get the scoop.

 

Nyota Ndogo is one of the most accomplished artists from the Coast region.The ‘Watu na Viatu’ hit maker who also happens to be a mother of two, got engaged to her Danish lover late last year and since then, the artist has never looked back. The two lovebirds have been dating for  close to nine months before Nyota paid her in-laws  a visit before getting engaged to the love of her life.

Well, Nyota now reveals the secret she uses to keep her man, “Ametoka kazini amekuta kila kitu tayari,jamani mambo yote haya twayajua, wasiotosheka ndio hutoka nje lakini pia mwanaume huwezi sema wako nimzuri ilamuombee mungu tu” she posted
