Did You Know That These Two Popular Entertainers Are Cousins?

Recently we did a piece about a family that has dominated the Kenyan entertainment industry as deejays, radio presenters, musicians and others. However, it has just emerged that two of Kenya’s popular entertainers are related by blood.

KTN STR8-Up live show host Miss Tamima and Kiss 100’s Evening Show Drive Shaffie Weru are cousins. The two have managed to keep that out of public limelight until not long ago. Tamima was recently hosted for an interview with Pulse magazine where she opened up on her life history. After telling you how she was bred in Kibera (or Kibra if you like), Tamima also revealed one of the best kept secrets; that she is related to Shaffie by blood.

Tamima is one of the few sassy TV sirens who are self-made and has come from a challenging background to be who she is today. Having been brought up in the sprawling ghetto slums by her grandmother, she had one of the worst childhoods but rose above that into a TV star.
