Kenya and Tanzania have been enemies not just in terms of business but also in entertainment.
Kenyan influential rapper Khaligraph Jones and Diamond´s photographer, Lukamba have been two warring territories with no one ready to take the fall.
It started with a mere blame game of why Papa Jones´ photos were not sent to him by the Bongo videographer before both of them slashed each other in a war of words.
So now, Lukamba ´has gone down on his knees´ to ask for Khaligraph´s forgiveness.
Speaking to Wasafi media, Lukamba first admitted to the fault although he had clearly told the rapper about an impediment that arose.
I took Khaligraph a photo with Diamond Platnumz. Later, Khaligraph sent me a DM to send him the photos. But I later DMed him to tell him that it might take time since my SD card had a problem.
Diamond´s photographer and videographer, Lukamba
Secondly, he clarified that Diamond was not at all involved in the delays.
If anything, the Bongo Flava sensation utterly respected the OG in every aspect and would not dare rub shoulders with him.
No, its not Diamond that asked me not to send the photo to Khaligraph. Diamond respects him so much.

Lukamba went ahead to explain that SD card faults are issues photographers grapple with in their everyday hustle.
Photographers can agree with me that SD cards can mess you up sometime.
Speaking of the hilarious yet intimidating cartoon of the artist kneeling before him, Lukamba said this was but on a light note and apologizes if at all it insulted Khaligraph.

Further acknowledging just how much Kenyans had stood in solidarity with the influential rapper following the public humiliation.
I didn´t think that he would take it the wrong way. I ask for his forgiveness if he feels like I humiliated him. I respect him and I didn´t want to disrespect him. I have seen that Kenyan fans are angry about the issue and I ask that you forgive me.
Terence Creative was among the first to comment, holding a brother´s hand and putting himself in the radio presenter´s shoes, urging:
Let God be your vindicator.
Short, precise and to the point, Terence told Jalang´o one thing: only God can judge, forget the rest.
Jalang´o has revealed that him and his ´Boyz´ have lost businesses and top clients, had their families broken, grown apart as friends, had their names tarnished and associated with not so good sentiments.
He went ahead to trash every word associated with him recently, to be false, actually he said ´those are lies.´
Well, for his beef with Edgar Obare, and never ending portrayals of him in bad light he called the vlogger out for ´chasing Clout´.

Further stating he was neither going to sue the controversial blogger or take legal action against him because he has just had enough of the push and pull.
Controversial gospel artist Ringtone might have bagged himself a new woman; that is if the rumors linking him to one Azziad Nasenya are true.
The lass first made headlines after her ‘utawezana’ video went viral showing how flexible she is; and for some reason most of her male fans can’t help but keep shooting their shot hoping they can have her.
Well, Ringtone is no different as word making rounds on social media is that he may be chasing after the young lass. This is after several photos emerged on social media showing the two together.
Although this is not enough to justify why the two were spotted together; by now I am sure fans understand how Ringtone moves.
Tik-Tok queen, Azziad Nasenya
Ringtone and Zari
A few months ago Ringtone publicly declared his love for Zari as he was hoping to wife her down. Things however did not go his way even after claiming he had bought her a Range Rover.

Zari on the other hand turned him down leaving the singer with bitter feelings that he now appears to have let go of. Speaking to Sonko news who highlighted the story, Ringtone allegedly not only praised Azziad for her beauty but her beauty. He opened up saying;
I think that Azziad is a very beautiful lady. She is very smart and very intelligent. When I see her I am shocked at the amount of shade that Kenyans have been throwing her way.
New wife?
Well it seems that something is definitely going on between Ringtone and Azziad who has since become a household name in the entertainment industry. We cannot confirm whether the relationship rumors are true or if the two teamed up to overshadow the likes of the Bahati’s and Size 8’s family who are over currently the richest couples in the entertainment industry.
Kenyan media personality, Jamal Daddafi is one man who has stood by Tanasha Donna since the very day she proclaimed her Islam faith.
Not so much about her conversion from Christianity to Islam. What brought public debate was whether her actions and behavior would as well blend into the religion.
Tanasha never responded to the trolls and Jamal´s advice to her, has only strengthened the fierce woman in her.
Jamal Gaddafi and Tanasha
¨You can´t force people to love you. To accept or even believe in your goodness…because you don´t have the ability to control their minds¨ he jotted.
According to Jamal, as long as it never shakes your spirit, then it just doesn´t matter! Cryptically stating:
But the good news about all this is “IT DOESN’T MATTER AT ALL” Keep feeding well, take enough water without forgetting the oranges. ENJOY life!???????? @tanashadonna
TV presenter and Corporate MC, Jamal Gaddafi
With an overwhelmed Tanasha responding:
Jamal ????????????
Events
Tanasha´s first affirmation of being a fully-fledged Muslim woman came through her photo posing next to the KTN TV presenter and even dining to the Iftar meal together.
Again, the family man called her ´Aisha´ and not Tanasha.
Mother of one, Tanasha Donna
The world finally accepted her new religion but not her dressing convinced masses that she was at all Muslim.
However, it seems Jamal´s unflinching support and open acceptance of Tanasha and her belief, slowly instilled the religion´s customs and beliefs in her and so far, so good.
In her recent charity work alongside the refined media personality, Ms Aisha stepped out in a pink, floral, long and loose dress that spoke volumes.

Tecra Karanja would have turned 30 today, were she still to be alive. A reality turned into a memory for her elder sister, Anerlisa Muigai.

The Keroche family indeed lost an enthusiastic personality who departed the stage in her prime.

Former Tahidi high actor, OJ and KISS 100 presenter, Andrew Kibe have come to the defense of embattled radio presenter, Jalang´o days after his Boyz Club WhatsApp chats leaked online.
Born Dennis Mugo blatantly told off self-proclaimed online life coaches who pretend they are angels on earth – so innocent and without blemish.
OJ blasted Jalang´o´s trolls who could not keep busy with their private lives to avoid pocking their noses in other people´s business.
Dennis Mugo, better known as OJ
On his Facebook page, the renowned Kenyan actor and script writer told critics to back off the Milele FM presenter because they probably lead worse lives.
What ever Jalas does with his private life is up to him. Some of you ‘life coaches’ are worse and most likely envious.
This ignited mixed reactions among his fans and followers, commenting:
Daniel Gachunji Gichuki Private life until ikuwe public. As a public figure he should be more careful the people he shares his private life with. Of course people do crazier things. Tusikifanye watakatifu saaaana
Russell Freeman Jalas is an imbecile, period. He should learn from Peter Kenneth and the likes of Jeff Koinange what boys club is all about. Sio hiyo upus yao ya apartmento na vifaa zimechapa eti madem.
Meanwhile, controversial KISS FM radio presenter, Andrew Kibe – known for his unfiltered words – called every being pointing fingers at Jalang´o ´a pretender´.
Kibe revealed he had been receiving SMS and emails from Kenyans regards the Boyz club and he could only question why anyone was quick to judge.
¨We are all liars…¨ he blasted.
Radio personality, Andrew Kibe
Further explaining that no one is a living saint because all these lodges and exotic resorts we see around in Kenya are for nothing other than sharing those intimate moments even between married individuals who just don´t care.
Why?…because we are all human and we just can´t help it.
I got a lot of SMS and email about the Boyz club. Why would you send me an email regarding the Boyz club? Why I call you pretentious is everyone is pretending like they are not f***ing. If you are not doing the act, then go ahead and criticize. Otherwise, shut up. In these lodgings, who do you think is in them? Everyone else,… women and men. There are husbands and wives inside those lodgings.
KISS 100 presenter, Andrew Kibe
Openly drooling over women residing in the embattled Kileleshwa suburb, the radio presenter could not thank them enough, for their early morning jogs that enliven men´s spirits.
Let me say a big thank you to all the chiqs who go jogging in Kileleleshwa. Have you ever been around Kileleshwa at such times? Around 6:30 am and 7:00 am. Kileleshwa is just heavy behinds all over. Thank you to all Kileleshwa ladies because there are no ugly ladies in tights in the morning.
Advising:
I appreciate you, but remember to remove the masks, we don´t want you suffocating please.
Andrew Kibe´s rant sparked online uproar among Kenyans, responding:
naomyngure That’s not the problem, the problem is exposing those ladies and discussing them in a group…wtf???????? kibe hakosangi jibu
dr.llary Dignity and respect, very important kama umeshikwa tulia bro
bosset.gee It’s not that we ain’t fucking! fucking is not the issue here!we just not publishing our fuck mates!tell those boys to stop utoto mingi!men don’t eat and tell!
Tanzanian fashion entrepreneur, Jacqueline Wolper was irked by a woman who disguised herself as a customer at her clothes shop, only to walk away with thousands of shillings.
The woman in question was allegedly dressed like a Muslim woman, purporting to be fitting clothes, before pocketing thousands of money from Wolper´s handbag.
There was nothing good to feel about the undignified act, especially since it was the holy month of Ramadhan.
Fashion icon, Jacqueline Wolper
And in the face of COVID-19, the woman had put on her face mask, making it impossible for the fashionista to make sense of the her identity.
Plus, it was late into the night and Wolper was just doing business just like with any of her other customers.
Unfortunately though, the movie star´s handbag lay open and unattended to in the shop and the woman took advantage of the opportunity to bag herself some money.
Celebrated Tanzanian actress, Jacqueline Wolper
String of events
Speaking regarding the incident, the House of Stylish CEO narrated through her Instagram:
It was a woman, she came and tried on some outfits at my shop. It was about 8:000 pm. The lady was in buibui and face mask so I could not see her clearly. I had put the money in my handbag and the zip was open.
It so happened, the woman grew creative and like the norm, said she was going to withdraw some money and just like that, she took a boda boda and vanished in thin air.
Businesswoman, Jacqueline Wolper
The Bongo actress had zero clue about what had just happened before her eyes until an hour later when she could not spot her money.
Asking around, fingers pointed at the alleged customer who had fled off an hour ago (sic).
I had KSh 46,000 in my bag and the fake customer lied she had gone to withdraw some money. Then I saw her running and catching a bodaboda. I noticed the money was not there after an hour and after asking around, it led us to that lady.
Efforts to have the lady face the Law were crushed after the entrepreneur´s mom urged her not to report the case and instead let it die down.
I reported the case but my mum asked me to forgive.
Wolper Stylish CEO
However, just like it is said – a thief´s days are numbered – and for Wolper, that is exactly the fate of the woman when her time comes.
She will be cursed especially now that she has stolen in this month of prayers. That is like calling for a curse on yourself.
Diamond Platnumz is a generous man who not only has so much money to dish out and spoil those he loves; but he has proven to do just anything to make the love of his life happy.
Well if you are not aware, Diamond Platnumz adores only one woman and that is his mother. Rumor has it that Mama Dangote controls all businesses registered under her son’s name and will not be letting any slay queens take advantage of her son’s sweat.
Just recently Diamond Platnumz purchased a 3 star hotel in Dar Es Salaam which was to be renovated before the grand opening. Speaking during an interview the singer mentioned that the hotel can be used for quarantine at the moment since business is slow and inactive.
Diamond Platnumz new hotel
Launching hotel
However, thanks to a post shared by Mama Dangote earlier today, fans believe the hotel will be operating very soon.
This may also mean that the 3 star hotel will not be available for any COVID-19 patients as Diamond Platnumz is planning to have the hotel running in a few weeks.
In the comment section Diamond Platnumz not only revealed that the hotel is back in business; but also revealed that it belongs to his dear mother.
Diamond Platnumz gifts his mum the new hotel in Dar Es Salaam
Is Mama Dangote wicked?
Well, many women on social media describe this lady as a mean; and selfish mother in law who doesn’t respect boundaries. However, there are those who feel that the singer’s mum has every right to run her son’s businesses!
If Diamond Platnumz exes including Tanasha Donna think mama Dangote is too much; then they better brace themselves because Diamond is all about his mother!
By now ladies thinking of dating Diamond Platnumz already know what to expect; and for the wise ones, I am sure they want to be on Mama D’s good side even if it’s for a short while before he moves on to the next. But chances are, the singer will not be leaving his mum’s side anytime soon!
Gossip guru, Edgar Obare has now become the punching bag of Kenyans on Twitter after exposing Jalango´s philandering ways that might have wrecked his home.
The known celebrity YouTuber was the man behind the expose that blew up on unsuspecting Kenyans about the comedian and radio presenter.
Through Edgar´s YouTube channel, an undisclosed source leaked intimate screenshots of chats between members of the alleged ´Boys Club´ that Jalang´o and his pals subscribed to.
Corporate MC and media personality, Jalang´o
Speaking to Kenyans.co.ke, Jalang´o said he holds no grudges against the vlogger.
There´s no problem. Let him keep doing what he is doing.
A name that has since been tainted and a brand that not so many are sure will make it across another day, is the aftermath of the MC´s exposed behavior.
Edgar Obare
Now, Edgar Obare is at the receiving end of trolls following his real that has since gone viral.
YouTuber, Edgar Obare
According to screenshots doing the rounds, the Milele FM presenter and his boys sleep around with women in rented apartments in Kilimani, Lavington and Lang´ata, among others.
Through the WhatsApp group, the boys share their experiences and encounters with different women.
Additionally, it is through this platform that the boys compete who ranks best and who ranks last with their women.
Reportedly, Jalang´o ranked the best at it.
Trolls
However, the no-nonsense KOT were not going to table Edgar´s expose of his fellow man bashing:
When you told kisiis don’t keep quiet😂 See Edgar Obare a living example exposing the boys tea🤣 Jalang’o is the best in sipping tea😂 pic.twitter.com/7L6J8Wmeqb

Sauti Sol´s lead vocalist, Bien Aime Baraza and wife, Chiki Kuruka said ´I Do´ more than 2 months ago and it is only fair that we met Chiki´s genes origin.

To that regard, he declared he was going to keep his project intact until Columbia University awarded him a degree today.
I pored over hundreds of pages, visited 5 countries & recorded hours of interviews for the Jumia project. I’ll keep the full thing until @Columbia gives me my degree (tomorrow!) but I published a short & sweet excerpt with the BBC
And to his amazing professor and thesis advisor, Winnie O´Kelley, his humble words read:
Thanks for making it all possible
Larry Madowo´s tweet
It was all a trail of Congratulations to him from Kenyans online, and we at Ghafla! Kenya give him a hats off!

Having previously worked as a Business Editor at BBC Africa.

Tedd Josiah is sick and tired of male celebrities always making headlines for all sorts of wrong reasons and numerous cheating scandals.
Having lost his beloved wife, Regina Katar just as their family tree was blooming, Tedd is one man who does not understand how a man can walk out of his home, go after another woman, leaving his wife back home.
That makes zero sense to him. Zero! And if anything, he is irritated and disappointed with Kenyan men.
Kenyan producer, Tedd Josiah
In his recent ugly rant online, the thriving businessman brutally questioned:
You’re a CELEBRITY meaning you are CELEBRATED…. for what? For deeming women? For drinking yourself stupid? For all the drugs you can consume? Who what????
Thereafter censuring men who think, they have it all in their power to ´misuse, hurt and abuse´ women because their pockets are deep, that their time is coming.
Now brothers when you become predators attacking vulnerable women with your little money just because you know they need it and you can use your cash to hurt, misuse and abuse them know this.
Father of one, Tedd Josiah
Tedd cautioned men on the trivial effects their wealth, ego and short-lived satisfactions, would eventually cause upon them.
Well, probably no man has the capacity to go after these men – because with money, they can buy anything – except one being, God.
Veteran music producer, Tedd Josiah
The very same money and status they are misusing to hurt other people, would all be reduced to nothing and ´Karma´ would take over.
God can and will take that money you are using as a tool to hurt other people. He can and will take that celebrity status you are using to hurt other people. Also, he can and will bring you to your “road to Damascus” and trust me like Saul you will become Paul.
Forewarning:
DONT TEST GOD just because you are a “Celeb” DONT!
Veteran music producer, Tedd Josiah
And to parents, he emphasized the need for daughters to grow up to cherish, find and love better men, who can just treat them like they deserve – a Queen. Nothing less!
Let’s raise our daughters to know better men and know men can be better than this……
This is not his first rant, not even his second, but lemme just be honest, this man is fed up with this caliber of men who cannot afford the least bit of respect to their women.
In the wake of COVID-19, Akothee was forced to stay apart from her three children and French baby daddy but the care he has shown her children is just overwhelming for her.
The affluent businesswoman is now no longer in the capacity to pay regular visits to her two sons and one daughter who stay overseas, amidst a global lock-down.
Despite it all, it still feels like she is part of her three children who are in such good hands and care, that she feels blessed to have her French baby daddy.

Prince Ojwang, Oloo are reportedly now under the care of Mr Dominic Decherf who is the father to one of the boys but still treats them both like his own blood.
Through social media, Akothee showered Dominic with praise, for taking up both mother and father duties to the two boys.
If I would ask God for Agift today Its gonna be My DOMINIC DECHERF PENZI YANGU , see how this man has taken care of my children amidst Corona.
Akothee´s sons, Prince Ojwang and Oloo

Businesswoman, Akothee
Gushing over his untamed love for her and admitting that probably it is time she settled with him and built a home together, out of love.
Your love is constant ,and No man can ever replace you ????????, I think I will end up settling for you otiyana ????????????????
Renowned Tanzanian gospel singer, Christina Shusho admitted she admires Hamisa Mobetto, Wema Sepetu and Jacqueline Wolper, as she begged for their friendship.
Yes, I mean the one and only Christina Shusho, known for gospel hits the likes of Ninang´ara and Tenda Wema featuring controversial Kenyan artist, Ringtone Apoko.
The award-winning gospel musician disclosed during her interview with Wasafi media, that she looks forward to being friends with the three Tanzanian socialites.
Reason being, they are women of power, women who stand head-high amidst the hate and women who trip and fall but get back up soon after.
These are women of strength and the gospel artiste can never feel any prouder by getting associated with the three.
Please, I beg, I need your friendship. If you accept, I will know that God has blessed me in 2020. We can meet, chill and talk. I like the way they get struggles and get back up. I need them more cause I´ve seen in them that they have strength.
Tanzanian female gospel giant, Christina Shusho
Further divulging that she has been keeping an eye on them and their lifestyles and what captivates her most is how they mean what they profess.
I follow their lifestyles. I cannot pretend that I have never come across their stories. They are the ones that are dominating social media and are trending. I love that they stand by their word and action. I love the spirit.
Articulating:
Hamisa Mobetto, I love the lady, Jacqueline Wolper and Wema. They are many. I have met them and they are good ladies.
Gospel artiste, Christina Shusho
However, as much as she may not agree with their choice of dressing, Christina Shusho was more than glad that the three had embraced a more decent fashion especially during this holy month.
Right now, they are decent. If they go on this way, it will be good. It should be a little bit decent. They should know that I love them and that I´m their number one fan. I love their efforts.
Shusho however clarified that this by no means implies that even when the three are indecently dressed, she wouldn´t associate with them.
DJ Soxxy is not a new name in the entertainment industry. In fact apart from hosting gospel shows for TV services on Sunday; he also happens to be quite a comedian.
Away from his busy working schedule; turns out Soxxy is a father and husband in home which he shared with his wifey; Ciku.
Although she is a quiet person compared to Soxxy, the mother of 2 recently left fans entertained as she narrated her COVID – 19 scare just recently. As seen on her post, Ciku went on to reveal that she has been unwell for a while; and looking at all her symptoms Ciku was sure it was Coronavirus.
DJ Soxxy’s wife and Kids
Scary experience
According to Ciku, her situation was really serious to a point where her doctors also thought she was infected by the new virus.
On her post she mentions that those attention to her came dressed in PPE just incase – to avoid being infected by whatever she had. However after a few tests here and there, the doctors ruled out the virus diagnosing her with tonsillitis.
Through her Instagram the lovely lady went on to say:
Mrs Soxxy aka Ciku
When your 3year old tells you, ‘don’t worry mama, you are unwell but I got you’ sweet sleep flows… So yesterday I was almost been admitted because I had acute tonsillitis… Those things are not a joke. I was so sure it’s Corona. The doctors also thought so, coz my fever was up the roof, headache, super painful swallowing and talking.. I was secluded and doctors came dressed in PPE…
After the many tests, the doctors finally prescribed strong antibiotics to help fight her infection. But on the bright side atleast it wasn’t the virus.
After they ruled out all my symptoms.. I was sent home with the highest dose of antibiotics and painkillers. I thank God for good health as now I am eating and even walking around. So when Ethan told me he got me despite his tiny body, I felt home in those hands. Lil blessings!
Soxxy and Ciku
This lovely couple has been married for years now and unlike most gospel celebrities; Soxxy and his wife are among the most humble and blessed persons we have come to meet on social media.
Popular radio presenter, Jalang´o is an embattled man after screenshots of intimate conversations between him and his boys leaked online.
YouTuber, Edgar Obare was the man behind the leakage, out to expose what goes on behind closed doors and in places where no camera finds its way into.
Yesterday, Jalang´o was the topic of discussions with speculations rife that the guy got fired from Mediamax-owned Swahili radio station, Milele FM for his uncouth behavior.
Popular media personality, Jalang´o
This is after his voice on radio could no longer be heard for at least 2 days now and counting and the compass directed fans to his unkempt ways.
He responds
However, word reached him soon enough and in response, he stated he has been on a 2-weeks´ leave since 2 days ago.
Therefore, getting rid of reports he had been fired for being a guy with two different personalities during the day and at night fall.
Milele FM co-hosts, Jalang´o (left) and Alex Mwakideu (right)
He added that his co-host Alex Mwakideu would be taking over alongside stand-up comedian, Wambilianga.

Cheating scandal
Born, Felix Odiwuor was yet to respond to claims he had been a man likened to many women behind the curtains, despite the fact that he has a Taita wife, or fianceé, at least.
Alikiba is currently a married man but word has it that his marriage to Amina Khaleef mighty be over. This is because they both live separately but being private people, the couple rarely airs their dirty laundry on social media.
So far Alikiba has been exposed for his cheating way; and unlike Diamond Platnumz, singer Alikiba has been doing it for the longest time.
Well, this is because Diva the boss recently opened up claiming to have dated Kiba for 15 years; yet before meeting his wife Amina, Alikiba had been dating Jokate Mwegelo who is now a politician.
According to Diva the boss, she was in a serious relationship with Kiba; but had to hide it from social media for the sake of the singer’s career.
Alikiba
Mobetto into the mix!
Well after featuring his former friend’s baby mama on his song Dodo many came out claiming he was now involved with Mobetto. Rumors on social media went on to claim that Alikiba used Mobetto as payback to Diamond for using Tanasha who gained her major popularity thanks to her project with Kiba.
Anyway speaking during a recent interview Kiba went on to say;
Tunachat. Hio mada ambayo umeizungumzia hapainaweza kuwa moja ya mada ambazo tuna zungumzia, ideas, kuna watu ambao walishanitafutaga kufanya kazi na Hamisa nikamlink up nao. Ideas tofauti tofauti as a friend unaelewa. Hakuna kitu kinaendelea mimi na Hamisa, hakuna kabisa,

When every single person had turned their backs on me, forsaken me, given up on me, or walked out of my life, you never left me. You never judged me or my life. Neither did you betray me. Now I don´t know how it is going to be without you because in so many ways I looked up to you more than you ever knew.

Juliana Kanyomozi is the luckiest woman on earth as everything she touches into gold. She is the latest mother in town and after welcoming her bundle of Joy, the singer couldn’t help but announce this on social media.
This came as a big surprise since most of her East African fans lost touch with her after disappearing or rather going private immediately after her son’s death.
As a parent, the pain is unexplainable and not many can understand the pain she went through. 6 years later, and Juliana Kanyomozi is once again a mother.
What many didn’t know is that Juliana learnt to love and at the end met a man that complemented her in ways she cannot explain. Her husband is not only young but handsome – which means the baby boy must be one adorable baby!
Pregnant Juliana
Kanyomozi’s husband
According to reports, Kanyomozi’s handsome husband is known as Habi Moses; a Rwandese doctor and tycoon. The two have been in a serious relationship and seen on Habi’s instagram page; he indeed adores his lady very much.
In one of his Instagram posts the fella went on to appreciate women as a whole; saying they are the reason we all exist. He went on to write saying;
Kanyomozi’s husband
Man is born of a woman. He is educated by a woman. He’s growing up with a woman, he falls in love with a woman. He marry a woman….Woman you are the hope of this life and the balance of the world.
Her close friend Jose Chameleone who has been standing with Juliana for the longest time; also went on to congratulate the lass for the newborn saying;
Congratulations @julianakanyomozi and your newborn.
Isaiah 43:1-3
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name, you are mine.
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, Your Savior.
For you son, Welcome

Well sought-after Kenyan journalist, Victoria Rubadiri had a hard time trying to fit in the USA, coming from an African country and after 14 years abroad, fitting into the Kenyan community proved a challenge as well.
If there is something undeniably notable about the ravishing 33-year old journalist, must be her foreign accent, that only enthralls you the more.
Back on track, Vicky is of mixed race, actually multiple–race, but her ancestry in Malawi and Kenya is proven. Atleast.
Former NTV journalist, Victoria Rubadiri
At just 10 years of age, the then-little girl had to adapt to a different environment – America – amidst her ´funny accent´ and ´funny name´ – that she says.
This saw her struggle to fit into the American culture and community as a whole.
I’ve always wanted to fit in. I’ll admit it’s been a weakness of mine. I guess it stemmed from that insecure 10-year-old Kenyan girl trying to find a place in this ‘New World,’ called America. My ‘funny accent,’ and ‘funny name,’ would ensure my square peg would never fit in their round holes.
Things supposedly went her way and life started becoming normal for her in the States.
Return to Kenya
14 years down, the line, she returned to Kenya complete with a degree and ready to kick-start her career in the East African country.
Renowned TV journalist, Victoria Rubadiri
Well, it wasn´t going to be as easy as she presumed. Remember, she had spent a solid 14 years overseas.
The people she had exchanged thoughts and ideas with and most especially the culture she had inherited was nothing like the Kenyan culture.
She now had to re-learn the Kenyan people, their practices and way of life – if at all she desired to ´fit in´.
Vicky Rubadiri
Funny enough, Kenya was home but everything about her just felt foreign. Okay, at least not Kenyan.
A decade ago I returned to Kenya. After 14 years in the US, I was met with the same dilemma. This time trying to fit in to a culture that was my own but was so foreign. Again my ‘funny accent,’ ????and ‘funny name,’ (Rubadiri is Malawian????????) made sure of that.
Turn around
¨I realised the harder I tried to fit in, the louder my difference would SCREAM¨ she said, opting to take the wiser option – to just be herself and do things her way.
Celebrated Kenyan journalist, Victoria Rubadiri
The way out was in Journalism, which she aptly took and gradually worked her way through the Kenyan culture.
Something helped though and that was becoming a journalist right when I got back home. It turned me into a student of my Kenyan people, language and peculiarities. Every story I told was a lesson.
The mother of one eventually came to terms with who she was, accepted her flaws and actually used it all to her advantage.
Each year I grew in my career, I accepted my ‘outsider’ tag a bit more and used it to my advantage. I gained a unique perspective on the world around me and tried to articulate that through my storytelling.
Every sunrise only pushed her to be better, to be more diffused with the Kenyan people, yearning to tell a story as it is.
TV girl, Victoria Rubadiri
And for every sweat she put in, she has no regrets because through her career in media, she was able to tell her story.
Now proudly a well-blended, idolized personality who is part and parcel of the Kenyan heritage.
Not having the comfort of ‘belonging’ kept me hungry to learn more and strive to tell a story as it is. It is a privilege to do what I do and give my audience a view of their world through my lens.
It was in accepting she was who she is and didn´t need to change that to ´fit in´, that she spread her wings and flew.
Once I accepted that I’m terrible at fitting in and better off working on myself and my craft that changed everything for me.
Tanasha Donna is a woman who means business when she decides on it and this time, she is running her own non-profit organization.
The young mother of one recently launched the Tanasha Donna Community, a foundation that seeks to give back to society especially to the less privileged.
Whether or not she is following in the footsteps of her Bongo Flava maestro of a baby daddy, Diamond Platnumz, we leave that to her.
Ex-lovers, Diamond Platnumz and Tanasha Donna
At least they both agree on one thing: Giving back.
Unfortunately though, it came to the attention of fans that she might have turned her son´s IG page into her own charity foundation and it didn´t end well for her.
There was nothing wrong with giving back, but why did she have to sacrifice her son´s account to that of her foundation really?
Tanasha with son, Naseeb Junior
She edited Naseeb Junior´s Instagram account to read TanashaDonna Foundation, a move she was forced to quickly rethink after numbers started dropping drastically.
Naseeb Junior´s account had 153k plus, followers before she turned it into a charity page. The media personality further put up three photos of her works of charity and fans massively unfollowed.
That was like getting forced to follow an account you weren´t even privy to.
Tanasha Donna
The numbers came down to 152k followers before she deleted the photos and edited it back to Naseeb Junior´s account.
Noting the difference, she quickly undid her move and instead opened another IG account for her foundation where she urged fans to follow back.
Currently, it only has 830 followers.
Meanwhile, her son´s page stands at 151k followers as we speak.
Will she or Naseeb Junior´s account ever recover? That remains unanswered.
Her foundation
Anyway, regarding her foundation, the 24-year old revealed she has always believed in giving back and that through her small team, she hopes to duly deliver.
I have always believed in giving back & I feel blessed to be surrounded by good people & have the small team that I have who believe in the same.
Clarifying that this in no way means she´s got too much in her pockets. Not at all. But it is in the spirit of giving, that comes fulfillment.
Tanasha Donna
For her, giving does not mean you must be wealthy, but in sharing the little that one has been blessed with.
???????????????????????? We are not perfect nor stinking rich, but the little we can, we give back. It starts small. By giving back to your family, friends, mama mboga or even your askari downstairs, to helping children or people with special needs. Its the little things that matter. However small, or big, its the gesture that counts & I believe more blessings blossom from these small kind acts.
The Kenyan singer revealed all her works of charity will also be documented on her page.
Kenyan artist-turned philanthropist, Tanasha Donna
From children´s homes to special needs organizations, she would have it all taken to account.
On this page, I will be posting the different homes that my team & I will be visiting, We will go round various childrens homes, people with special needs, organizations & share THEIR contact numbers as well so if interested, you can also help them.????????????????????????

Ali Kiba has come out in defense of his alleged side chick, Diva from trolls and criticisms of the masses.
Tuesday, 14th April 2020, Kings Music Records´ two signees, Cheed and Killy exited in what they termed a time well spent and an opportunity for new ventures.
Masses were then quick to pin the exit on Tanzanian media personality, Diva who could not handle the pressure, instead exposing her alleged secret affair with King Kiba.
Tanzanian media personality, Diva
She seemingly got tired of hiding the affair, later on opting out of the married man´s life in December 2019.
Now, Kiba has come out to defend the lass, asking masses to stop accusing Diva falsely, instead labeling her ´a selfless and kind-hearted´ woman.
Adding that, he held not grudges against her for acting like she did.
Mnamjua Diva jinsi alivyo anapenda kuapia kwa watu, lakini pia kila mtu anamfanya ajisikie comfrotable na mimi alinifanya nikajisikia comfortable sana.
Tanzanian socialite, Diva thee Bawse
Kiba however trashed reports that he was having an affair with the Clouds FM presenter, clarifying that they are but bosom friends.
Ila kwenye suala la mapenzi sijawahi kuwa naye. Ingawa alishawai kuwa rafiki yangu wa karibu sana.
The Tanzanian singer-songwriter could not insist enough, that Diva needed her space and it was time people moved on to other things.
Diva ni mtu mzuri sana na nawaomba watu wayaache hayo mambo yalivyo na hivi vitu ambavyo vimetokea waviache vilivyo. Pia watu waache kum-criticize kwa hayo yaliyotokea.
Kings Music Records President, Ali Kiba
This comes barely weeks after the Bongo superstar dissed the 31-year old lass on Instagram for badly exposing him, labeling her a´wicked witch´.
Following the ex-lover´s bitter fallout, Diva has now reportedly moved on with one of the recent ex-signees of Kiba´s music label.

Background
Mid-April, Cheed and Killy took to their Instagram pages to announce their termination of contract from Kiba´s record label, thanking him for his unconditional love and support over the years.

After pressure kept building on the Bahati Reality show, the couple saw the red light early enough and started their YouTube channel that is bulging in numbers, I must admit.
On the ´Diana Bahati´ YouTube channel, the couple has been saying it all in black and white from past relationships, to what they hate about each other…you name it.
So on their recent episode, Diana was hear to spill about Bahati´s behaviors that irk her every passing day.
Diana Marua with Bahati
Unfortunately though, Bahati has a couple of flaws his wife doesn´t adore including recycling of his boxers.
Bahati brushed off Diana´s feelings wondering whether there was anything wrong with recycling your inner-wears for however long you felt.
For him, as long as he never pees on himself, then why would anyone care about how many times he puts on the same boxer?
Kwani boxer si hata wiki tunavaa tu? Kwani nimekojoa kwa kitanda? Sijakojoa. How many days should a man wear his boxers before changing because I think this vlog is going south. I have grown up with 2 boxers in my life.
Gospel star, Bahati
This is amidst the fact that a clean, new boxer is laid out for him every morning.
Second flaw
Additionally, turns out that every time food is served, Bahati rushes to the washroom first. Reason being – he needs to empty his bowels before a meal.
Just in case, the next meal is tomorrow.
Power couple, Diana Marua and Bahati
In his defense, Bahati further revealed that his upbringing molded that into him because food was really scarce at the time.
Growing up in the ghetto, my environment most of the time ilikuwa unaweza angukia a very delicious meal like chapo madondo with avocado. After this delicious meal, you don´t know how the next meal will be. So how did I deal with it?
Explaining:
I had to empty my stomach every time if I had been given an opportunity to kula hadi nishibe. And after that meal, I wouldn´t need to eat again until the next day. Even if you are not pressed, you have to go to the loo first.
‘Dine with the Murayas’ is the new show set to air on NTV, seemingly in replacement of the unpopular Bahati Reality Show.
This was after news of the new show went viral on Sunday 17th March 2020, igniting mixed feelings among Kenyans.
A poster making the rounds indicated the show was ‘coming soon’ with details of the particular day and time yet to be unveiled.
NTV’s upcoming show
A show set to feature showbiz couple DJ Mo and wife, Linet Munyali alias Size 8 and everything around their married life, parenthood and basically all the setbacks that come with it.
When reached out to by Kenyans.co.ke, the gospel DJ confirmed the news though seemed shocked that it was already out there yet final touches were yet to be made.
However, he indicated the new show will stretch to a couple of segments but with the main theme basically about couples.
It will have various segments within the show, but the concept is mostly centered on couples. I am not sure what happened with the poster, I think it came out yesterday but as you can see, it still doesn’t have a date.
Spin-master, Sammy Muraya
Explaining why it was still a baby not ripe for delivery yet:
There are some things we were still discussing and then that’s when we can make it official. It’s not even on our social media pages yet. We are still ironing out some things and when we are done we will let you know.
From her end, an emotional Size 8 cryptically inked:
Well, this might easily be a spill off of the celebrity couple’s Valentine’s Day event – Dine with the Murayas – which caused quite a fuss in the love month.
Meanwhile Bahati Reality show still airs on the Nation Media Group television station every Monday night.
Bahati Reality Show
Speculations are rife that NTV will be getting rid of the Bahati show in place of the Muraya’s show birth.
For fans, the Muraya couple was diverting from their Gospel ministry and NTV was here to back them up, because of ‘lack of content’.
Wild reactions
A section believed NTV had ran out of content and instead of even bringing comedians on board to lift their spirits during this pandemic, they were just doubling to the ´headache´.
A different section of fans warned NTV to watch out before they boycott the station and the gospel couple for trying to make money ´the wrong way´.
This one wasn´t a good one, Kenyans backlashed the local television station terming their new venture ´rubbish!´
We can only sit and wait but the heat is already way too much to contain.
