¨It was the best thing to do¨ Diamond forced to defend his philandering ways to Ugandan in-laws

Bongo sensation, Diamond Platinumz  has been compelled to explain what led to nasty breakup with ex, Zari Hassan to his former in-laws.

The Wasafi President set foot in Uganda on Wednesday ahead of his Wasafi Festival performance in the country.

Well, being in his baby mama´s motherland, meant the music heartthrob has to explain himself to his former in-laws.

According to Chibu, their relationship was heading south and in a bid to protect Mama Tiffah, he had to call it quits.

This he expresses while speaking to members of the 4th estate at Mestil hotel where he was questioned about infidelity allegations filed against him.

Children in our relationship with Zari is a blessing because everything comes from God.

But talking about having other girlfriends here, I don´t think it´s allowed.

And I don´t want to bring a lot of trouble because I am trying to be a good man.

Defense

Further disclosing his relationship details with Zari sharing:

Me and Zari had a good time and God blessed us with 2 kids and after, because of some reasons, we could not continue the relationship.

It´s normal that sometimes things don´t work out in a relationship even after having kids and so this has to be taken in a positive way.

We saw that this relationship won´t be good for our kids and this was the best thing to do.

Simba´s message to the world is that since it already happened, nothing can be done other than looking at it all in a positive way.

Adding that with fame, comes added responsibilities, which if not carefully handled, can mess up a relationship.

Probably why his relationship with Zari had to collapse at some point.

In a famous relationship, there are a lot of things that come in every day and if you don’t know how to control them, they can take you out of the line.

But to me, I don´t think it´s good to talk about it so much because it´s nagging

but what you need to know is that we love our kids and we try to be the best to them as much as we can.

Lest we forget, just like Zari, Tanasha is also famous but basing on Diamond´s recent confessions, he is trying his best to be a better man and a loyal husband to his heavily pregnant, Tanasha Donna.

Engaged! Jaguar proposes to Tanzanian lover, Lulu Diva [photo]

Starehe MP, Charles Njagua goes down on one knee to propose to Tanzanian lover, Lulu Diva, in Dubai.

Lulu Abbas alias Lulu Diva and Jaguar have been dating behind the scenes for close to 4 months now.

This was revealed in a confession made public by the Tanzanian singer.

It has been hardly days since the couple opened up about their relationship. One that has been blooming away from the public eye.

We have been dating for the past four months, we wanted it to be secret but now we have decided to go public. It is not abrupt as people think.

Furthermore, the family man-cum-politician has kept his family life under wraps, only recently unveiling the faces of his 3 children on social media captioning:

……blessings

https://www.instagram.com/p/BZnM8yelkl9/?utm_source=ig_embed

Despite his kind of untamed past, seems the Kenyan MP is now setting his eyes on the future and plans to settle down with his 4-month girlfriend, Lulu.

The couple is set to have their nuptials any time soon.

Congratulations to the duo!

Kumbe! High chances that Kamene Goro is dating Ethic group´s Seska

KISS 100´s Kamene Goro is suspiciously dating one of Ethic´s member, Seska aka ´fire-spitter´.

According to Nairobi´s latest rumor gang, the two are the newest celebrity couple in town.

It stared off, with the radio presenter featuring as a video vixen in the music group´s ¨Figa¨ jam that was all about applauding a woman´s features that Kamene represented pretty well.

Additionally, we could spot the curvy radio personality get flirty with the boys, cooking eggs for ´Mtoto wa Eunice´ as well as grinding with Zilla.

That was the first and masses did not pin as much weight on it, so it was a pass.

However, ´once bitten, twice shy´ and Ethic has done it again.

In their latest release with Otile Brown, dubbed ¨Dala Dala¨ Seska mentions Kamene in a creative yet revealing way, rapping:

Nikukipa silver, Goro [Gold] ntapea Kamene.

Seska basically talks about how valuable Kamene is to him, because if for an ordinary girl he would award a silver, then Kamene has to carry home, the Gold.

This has a higher chance of confirming that the two have a ´thing´ if nothing more.

With the creativity we have witnessed in the Kenyan ´meme-making´ industry, there is already one out, for the duo.

Up on her Insta, Kamene is caught by surprise captioning:

Haiya…..

Unfortunately, only she is because fans already speculated it way before.

Grief as world record holder, David Rudisha, allegedly abandons wife and kids

Olympic champion, David Lekuta Rudisha allegedly abandons his wife and kids.

Through social media, his wife, Lizzy calls out to the Olympic world record holder for frustrating her and their children.

Up on Facebook, Lizzy Naanyu pleads with Rudisha to stop it because she has just had enough of the chase.

David Lekuta Rudisha really stop frustrating me with my kids.

To my family, my heart is heavy I can´t hold anymore.

I love you all.

A post she soon after deleted.

This has raised a myriad questions about his whereabouts as well as the well-being of his marriage.

History

Furthermore, the 800-meters champion has been missing from the athletics´ scene with his last being the 2017 IAAF Diamond League held in Shanghai, China.

However, according to a report by a local daily, Rudisha´s agent, Mitchel Boeting failed to comment on the same, citing that he is yet to come across Lizzy´s post.

Adding that Rudisha is nursing an injury but will soon be back on the track.

I cannot comment on their family matters. I have not even known about the post.

David might not compete this season. The injury healed and reoccurred.

He will be late for the season and I think he will be back next season. We expect that all will be well for him.

Appointed as President of Athletes Commission – the Confederation of Africa Athletics (CAA) – it is reported that he has not been actively serving his role.

Revealing that he hardly responds to urgent calls or messages that require him to attend crucial events as CAA´s President.

A senior Athletics Kenya official is not impressed by this expressing:

Sometimes it is difficult to understand some Kenyan athletes.

Here an athlete has landed a big position in Africa or IAAF but he doesn’t see the importance.

Rudisha was appointed CAA Athletics Commission three years ago, but he is not actively involved.

We here at AK sometimes look for him (Rudisha) to attend some of our critical events but he doesn’t respond to our phone calls or bother to reply our texts.

CAA President Hamad Kalkaba Malboum is not happy.

Pleas

Kenyans plead with the Olympic champion to get his house in order before all hell breaks lose.

How close Wahu and Nameless were from breakup on their marriage day

Wahu and Nameless are so far Kenya´s most celebrated power couple but it has been full of bumpy rides.

The celebrity couple has been serving goals since the day they came to light.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BwgyaX5FNBa/

However, what fans don´t know is fact that their marriage is no different from any other.

And right from the very first day the two tied the knot, arguments kicked in like they had just been welcomed home.

Up and close with ´Samantha Bridal´, the duo speaks about petty arguments that almost sowed distrust between them.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx7kOUQgykj/

It was Wahu´s word against Nameless´.

Flashback

Wahu vividly recalls:

My house was very colorful while his was full of black and grey stuff when we were dating.

I was ok with it at first.

But after we got married I decided to move into his house because it was bigger and I decided to get rid of his grey carpet.

I was like women decide how a house should look like, I was not even thinking that it was a topic of discussion.

His argument was that it matched the TV.

While Nameless´ position about it all was entirely different.

We had just come from the wedding and all I wanted was some little time to recover but she would hear none of it.

She wanted to change everything including the curtain.

She had come to this same house for years so I could not understand where the rush was coming from.

However, Wahu did not feel the vibe, generating second thoughts about the man she had just said ´Yes´ to.

I was an independent woman and I felt like he had a problem with my decision since I changed the outlook of his house.

I felt like ´you do not respect my decision and I don´t even know if this marriage will work´.

Njugush´s expose about his wife, Celestine, lands him in trouble [video]

Blessed Njugush ignites a fire with wife, Celestine Ndinda for living a lie on social media.

The popular comedian exposed the wife for faking her life on Instagram at the cost of others.

According to him, not so long ago was the wife busy flaunting their lunch and dinner dates but now it is no more.

She is now busy struggling with maize and beans at home.

Life is hard, is this you struggling this hard with githeri?

It is funny that you stopped posting on Instagram about ´ohh I am having lunch with bae´.

There is something about this house that is just always off.

But the wife cannot take any more of his negativity asking him to mind his own business.

Further blasting her for not being able to afford her own house, let alone the equipment that make up a home.

Additionally, Njugush is taken aback by one of his neighbors, Kinuthia, who is busy going on vacations while he is struggling to put food on the table.

Mara he is in Vietnam, mara South Africa, Dubai, Zanzibar, Samburu…

Why should he waste money that way in these hard times.?

He is busy airing their unkempt past to the public, recalling days when he could not even afford to go to school.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz7ONLwnwWK/

This he does while making a comparison between him and their neighbor who is without denial, living large.

It just does not make sense for a parent to spend so much on their child, just in the name of vacation.

Adding that he will never do that for his kids.

Unfortunately, his wife is not going to fall for any of his traps telling him to stay away from other people´s businesses, and instead invest when the sun is still shining.

And soon after, Celestine comments about her vacation plans too; to go for vacation in Dubai, for her December holiday.

Afraid of being left home all by himself, Njugush begs for wife´s consideration to have him aboard too.

The comedian cites how he has been kept busy just reciting ´Wamlambez´ lyrics and he now needs vacation.

I am doing nothing in December. Do you by any chance want some company?

I am  tired of being left behind to look after our chicken, pets.

But a prepared Celestine Ndinda claps back.

What are you doing? You will wake up the baby.

Go do those things elsewhere and not in my house.

Watch: Ugandans overwhelm former in-law, Diamond Platnumz with massive reception

Bongo flava superstar, Diamond ushered into Zari´s motherland, Uganda like a King, ahead of his Wasafi Festival performance.

Having made several live performances in his own home country, Tanzania, it is time for him to spread his wings onto neighboring countries.

It is now Uganda´s time.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B0QpKCBpKw2/

Flashback

However, with history about the land of matoke, we are all well aware that Uganda remains his baby mama, Zari Hassan´s home country.

The two parted ways in an ugly feud with the blame pinned on Diamond for his philandering ways.

Therefore, we all expect, the WCB King would not enjoy an easy reception in Uganda, let alone a live performance in the country.

Well, the Ugandans prove the world wrong after welcoming the Wasafi Festival top performing artist with open arms.

The WCB President is set to showcase a live performance today during this year´s Comedy Store in Kampala.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz8Gvrbp3r4/

Chibu landed at Entebbe International Airport at around 1 pm yesterday and his convoy set off in a smooth ride yet warm environment.

K24 journalist, Betty Kyallo has no regrets ditching home for the wild

Popular TV journalist, Betty Kyallo might have exited her first home, KTN to the disappointment of many only to unleash a better version of the Lioness in her.

The day she dumped KTN, regardless of whichever station she was heading to, masses had a sure bet she would not thrive as much as she did while at KTN.

However, she proved the world wrong after stepping into K24 and changing the entire mindset Kenyans had about the Media Max-owned station.

Betty took up her anchoring role in K24 and has never looked back.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BzlczZlFsl0/

It has been interview after another, right from the entertainment world to the political world. It is just the who-is-who.

In an exclusive interview with ´Mpasho´ the TV siren shares:

Working at K24 has been so refreshing.

It was indeed the right choice especially after being at KTN for 8 years.

I´ve made new friends, new amazing content and new audiences.

I´m happy and completely settled. Pat on my back.

Further listing her favorite guests whom she has interviewed on her weekly segment, ¨Up Close with Betty¨.

My favorite was Wawira Njiru.

She´s only 26 and has made a huge difference in the life of school going kids.

She provides lunch for over 10,000 kids everyday and that´s just amazing.

She challenged and inspired me.

Interview

https://youtu.be/cnigk5HL18U

That´s just not it, with celebrated comedian-cum-MC, DJ Shiti having captured her spirit too.

DJ Shitti was so lovely because I laughed the entire day!

However all the episodes have been so great and I thank all my guests.

https://youtu.be/C-nl2w8ooc8

And it definitely goes without saying, that Betty is a brand that flourishes and blooms regardless of her surrounding.

Not forgetting she is ranked among the top influences in Kenya.

Diamond Platnumz – Tumesign wasanii wengine wawili na naamini watu watawapenda

Bongo´s top record label, Wasafi records, signs in two more artists amidst mistreatment allegations.

Over the weekend, Diamond´s WCB saw a high ranking manager exit the label over claims of mistreatment.

Furthermore, artists who have ditched the label have time and again pinned the blame on Wasafi for mismanagement as well as disrespect.

 

New signees

However, it is not news that the Tanzanian star is still gracing the record label with artists whether accusations filed against him are true or false.

The Wasafi founder reveals that he is more than excited to unveil the new faces in his record label, but only when the time is right.

Through his social media accounts, Platnumz tweeted:

Signed the new artist today…..!!!

I can’t wait for the world, to hear another WCB_Wasafi voice from the street

Additionally, speaking in a recent interview, Chibu confirmed the news, having signed in two more artists – male and female.

Sadly, he failed to disclose their names nor the date when he is expected to break the news to the world but assures the public, they will love his new artistes.

Adding that Wasafi Festival 2019 has already caught the attention of many.

Therefore, it would not be a good time to unveil his new signees.

Unajua bwana mimi sikufichi sisi watu wa kimasikini na baraka twasipata tukisaidiana tukishikana mikono wenyewe kwa wenywe.

tumesign wasanii wengine wawili, msanii mmoja wa kike, mwingine wa kiume na naamini watu watawapenda.

Tukianza kuwatoa sahi tutavuruga, hawatapata attention kwa sababu ya Wasafi Festival ina makelele sana.

Wasafi Festival ikifanyika shughuli zote nchini hazifanyiki, labda za serikali lakaini sio entertainment, tukiwatoa sahi tutawahiribia.

An untamed Kirigo Ng´arua publicly thirsts for Nyashinski

Former Citizen TV journalist, Kirigo Ng´arua begs for Nyashinski´s attention on social media, through Sauti Sol´s Bien Aime.

Early in the week, OGs in the music industry confluenced in a bid to map the way forward in the Kenyan music industry.

Seemingly, trying to set a firm foundation that allows for growth and creativity for the upcoming generation of youthful talented artists.

Present were Nyashinski, Nameless, Starehe MP Jaguar, Sauti Sol´s Bien Aime Baraza as well as Size 8. Not to forget the very own Ringtone Apoko.

Up on social media, Bien shares snaps of the meeting and in a cryptic manner captions:

I hope one day the future generations will thank us for this.

I’d like to thank my fellow artists for allowing us to be part of this.

Kirigo

However, from the entire gathering, media personality, Kirigo Ngarua, spotted Nyashinski first.

She quickly posed:

 Bien, is your friend Nyashinski single or? Please give me a through pass.

Soon after, Kirigo´s close ally, Terryanne Chebet raised concerns about her thirst.

But in defense, Kirigo cited that the time has come for her to make her bets, so why not?

Unfortunately, Bien is yet to respond on the same but Kirigo should already be well aware that Nyashinski is taken, long time.

A lady by the name, Zia Bett, who is founder of Zia Collection.

Unfortunately, after having such a thrilling moment watching the live remake of the classic film in SA, her pride got into her head.

The TV siren publicly tells off Tanzanians with none of their nationals featured in any of the movie´s events.

Mockery

Eric Omondi decides to wittingly re-create the movie´s story in Kiswahili, incorporating East Africa´s anthems.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Jclvagal3/

Betty then comments alluding to fact that Kenya is actually well represented with a neighboring Tanzania ultimately excluded.

The movie was shot in Kenya!

All the locations. Mt. Kenya, Aberdares, Borana Conservancy home of Pride Rock, Maasai Mara, Tsavo East.

Take it easy???????????????? we as Kenyans (Not Tanzanians) were well represented.????????????????????????

Clap back

Unluckily, Betty´s comment has not augured well with Tanzanian nationals who now give her a tip of their minds.

Evidence that Tanasha started stalking Zari´s territory way before pouncing on Diamond [screenshots]

Zari Hassan is mercilessly on Tanasha´s case like they´ve shared a table but Tanasha´s history is messing her up too.

It is Zari´s word against Tanasha´s after a series of expose interviews lately.

Diamond´s ex bone of contention with the Kenyan personality is who she really is away from what she claims she is to the public.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B0QW0_Agv9H/

Zari has reason to believe Tanasha had been stalking her way before the model started dating Diamond.

However, the 24-year old beauty refutes the rumors, alleging that hackers are to responsible for the mess.

Well, that might make sense because Zari has been in a similar trap too.

Betrayal

Unfortunately, there will always be some kind of history to back up one´s sentiments, which can either destroy or build you.

This time round, Tanasha´s history is not doing her any justice.

The NRG radio presenter has on several occasions hang out with Zari´s inner circle; her brother as well as her close ally.

And according to Zari, Tanasha had been roaming around her territory early enough.

Before getting the chance to attack and pounce on Baba Tiffah.

Additionally, in a leaked screenshot, we get a glimpse of Tanasha´s chat with Nigeria´s Peter Okoye, who was allegedly dating Zari Hassan at the time.

Well, all Tanasha has to say in defense, is let people believe what they want.

WCB´s top ranking manager exits the label over mistreatment allegations

Wasafi records´ top management has been hit by a wave over allegations of mistreating its very own employees.

This time round being Mbosso´s manager, Saandra Brown.

Sandra, who is a vlogger, has allegedly ditched Wasafi records after being Mbosso´s manager for over a year.

She ranks as the second high manager to exit Diamond´s record label after Harmonize´s former manager, Joel Vincent Joseph, left hardly 10 months ago.

Joel alias Mr Puaz accused Konde Boy of being arrogant, disrespectful and offering poor pay.

According to sources, Sandra exited after she could not take any more exploitation and frustrations at the label.

She (Sandra) wouldn’t want to talk about it

but… from what I understand she was being underpaid and having to work for long hours, she couldn’t take it anymore and walked away.

However, speaking to ´Bongo 5´ Mbosso refutes the claims about Sandra´s exit, rather stating that she has moved to another department in an internal restructuring.

One Almah Bronx takes the place of Sandra, and she manages the East Africa affairs of Nigerian artist, Patoranking.

WCB´s structure is that each artist gets assigned their own personal manager.

Who then report to WCB´s top managers; Babu Tale, Sallam Mendez and Said Fella.

Additionally, these top managers´ decisions are unquestionable as they table decisions alongside WCB King, Diamond.

Records

Unfortunately, an ex-WCB employee revealed that the record label exploits everyone including the artistes.

Only those at the high table get their rightful dues, earning way more than the artistes themselves.

Working as a WCB manager is no walk in the park.

You are paid by the label on the basis of how much income the artiste you handle generates.

It’s a small percentage not equivalent at all to the work put.

Further sharing grievances of artistes who left the bongo star´s label for the same.

Why do you think Rick Mavoko left WCB so soon?

You have had him say in interviews his contract was exploitative. Haven’t you?

¨Achana na drama za Tandale!¨ fans plead with Zari to concentrate on King Bae and leave Diamond alone

Zari Hassan´s exposé about her baby daddies is not impressing fans a bit!

She unveils fine details of what did not go right in her past relationships, her view about it all and her experiences.

Just over the weekend, the baby mama spoke at length about Baba Tiffah most especially about his slanderous ways that could not keep him at home.

A relationship she discloses was coated with lies and numerous affairs that left her hurt and broken.

Further speaking about blocking Diamond from his kids´ social media pages which she out-rightly denied, claiming Chibu had lied on live TV.

She even dared Diamond to try and deny the reports she was giving to the media, revealing she still has screenshots of their chats which she will soon unleash to the public.

Trolls

However, according to fans, Zari seems not to have moved on from the past and basing on fact that she was recently engaged, she needs to keep off quite a bit.

Fans´ plea to the businesswoman is that she concentrates on King Bae and lets Diamond sort out his life.

And if she can, she needs to forgive her ex, Platinumz for her to be able to mount a rock firm enough for her to stand on for the future.

If possible, forget that low class who never appreciated to have someone like you, forgive him, please.

Governor Anyang´ Nyong´o – how Lupita´s fame has affected close family

Kisumu Governor Anyang´ Nyong´o reveals how family has been forced to adjust to their celebrity of a daughter´s schedule.

Speaking to Citizen TV´s Lilian Muli, the Governor reveals that Lupita´s celebrity stature forces them as family, to adjust their lives too.

Further sharing that being an Oscar award winner, her daily life movements are no longer the same.

Moreover, the county boss explains how they now have Lupita conceal her identity so that she can have peace of mind whenever she visits home.

At times, covered in a buibui just so that she can avoid the paparazzi.

However, the first time Governor attributes his daughter´s current career path to his own childhood, where he was an actor.

And on noticing that any of his children are interested in acting, he urges them to forge forward, particularly Lupita.

Being a celebrity, she can’t just come home like that.

Otherwise, journalists will be all over her

and she will not enjoy coming home for a short time to be with her family and friends

¨Diamond is supposed to sire as many children as he wants¨ Zari cautions Tanasha

Diamond´s ex, Zari Hassan educates Tanasha on the consequences of being a victim of Diamond´s line of baby mamas.

The mother of 5 offers Tanasha free advice by cautioning her prior to, to be prepared to single-handedly raise her son whom she has sired with Diamond.

The ´Naheasy´ singer is not the first [and whether last, we are not sure yet] to grace the Tanzanian heavy hitter with a replicate.

Zari has been there, and gone through what she had to, we can say her phase is over and done with but it has come with lessons.

And for his current girlfriend, Tanasha Donna, this is her word of advice:

Diamond was supposed to move on and he is supposed to sire children as many times as he wants…

Tanasha being pregnant is a beautiful thing, but she must be ready to take care of her child because all that is happening is the same thing,

If you look at the cycle, with me and other women involved with Diamond, it’s the same thing, there’s nothing new.

However, Zari thinks that this time round he might be a changed man, at least so he claims, and we just need to wait and see.

But we should give him the benefit of doubt because he might change since he might realize he lost someone good,

so let’s not rule out the fact that he will be a good person some day.

Zari additionally refuted claims that Chibu is a father who is present in his children´s life, let alone even provide for needed monthly support for his growing kids.

Diamond reveals his intentions for a heavily pregnant Tanasha Donna

Tanzanian crooner, Diamond did not propose to a heavily expectant Tanasha because he did not want to crowd the day with too many events.

The soon-to-be father of 4 cites fact that the Great Gatsby 707 was a special day for the two most important women in his life and did not want to spoil it.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzq1CrpJdTZ/

For Platinumz, this was his mother´s and girlfriend´s birthdays and that is how he wanted it celebrated, not blow the day with an engagement too.

Furthermore, he does not want to be so predictable to fans.

Because masses expected that to be the day that Tanasha would have a ring on it.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzv60-og7km/

However, this by no means means that there will be no engagement between the two.

Rather with a myriad of events, it really needs critical forward planning.

Additionally, Chibu reveals they are expecting a baby shower pretty soon, with Tanasha hardly 2 months away from delivery.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz_oyZbJ9ZP/

Speaking in the sidelines of Wasafi festival in Muleba, the bongo artist airs:

Mimi napenda kuwa unpredictable alafu hata mimi engagement yangu sikutaka ifanyike sehemu kama zile.

Nilijua Watanzania wanategemea kitu kama hicho ila sikutaka hio siku iishie kuwa vile

nilitakaa iishie ni birthday ya mamangu na mpenzi wangu washerehekee, tukio hilo litakuwa lingine.

By the way kuna baby shower pia tunafanya muda si mrefu, kuna matukio mengi tunafanya

Diamond explains why Harmonize had to be left out of the Wasafi Festival 2019

Wasafi Festival 2019 kicks in with Wasafi artistes performing across the globe but in the absence of its very own star, Harmonize.

Word doing the rounds is that Konde Boy and his boss, Diamond are not in good terms.

However, the WCB King comes out to refute the speculations confirming that everything between the two is pretty fine.

During an interview, Simba shares:

The advantage or blessing of WCB is that we are overly booked.

For example I’m going back on Monday. Tuesday I have a show in Uganda, Saturday I have a show in Mwanza, Sunday I have a show in Burundi,

so we have different shows and getting us together is difficult.

Further expressing that it is not their place as Wasafi to cancel any of their artistes performances just so that they can be part of the Wasafi Festival.

The Festival is for everyone not only for WCB.

You can find we were booked even months prior so it means we will not be there sometimes.

We cannot cancel anyone´s show unless they themselves cancels them.

For example in Mwanza, Mbosso will not be there, Rayvanny will also not be there. In other regions even I won’t be available so….

Sauti Sol´s Polycarp, Vanessa Mdee and Victoria Kimani speak against the exclusion of East Africa in Beyonce´s Lion King debut album

Beyoncé new track album dubbed ¨The Lion King¨ is set to feature a couple of Africa´s artistes but with the exclusion of East Africa.

It features top brass International artistes the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell Williams, Childish Gambino, Beyonce´s daughter Blue Ivy among others.

Additionally, it is to feature Africa´s very own artistes but keeps off the East African region.

Africa

Nigeria´s Tiwa Savage, Mr Eazi perform ¨Keys to the Kingdom¨ song, while Tekno and Yemi Alade feature on ¨Don´t Jealous Me¨.

Burna Boy on the other hand does a solo track ¨Ja Ara E¨ as Cameroon´s Salatiel appears alongside Beyoncé and Pharell on ¨Water¨.

Wizkid from Nigeria, Shatta Wale from Ghana; Busiswa and Moonchild Sanelly both from South Africa feature in the album too.

Origin

Funny thing is fact that the movie´s entire concept is in reference to the Kenyan and Tanzanian scenery yet none of the top East African artistes is featured.

Polycarp

Artistes from the East Africa region come out to shun such a move with Sauti Sol´s Polycarp airing:

This is the Lion King ´New Africa´ Album with soundtracks of the new Lion King movie.

For a movie who´s concept is fully based on the Kenyan and Tanzanian scenery, use of Swahili phrases and references,

you would think they would at least consider artists from this region and not focus on artists from one country/region.

Believe me I have nothing against the artists picked, if anything I´m happy for them.

It´s a lifetime opportunity that you can´t pass by!

I am very much against the people who decide to present Africa with artists from one country or region.

#kunamatata #lionking or maybe am being petty. Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

Vicky

Kenyan Nigeria-based music sensation, Victoria Kimani from her end aired:

As much as we celebrate with our fellow Africans the obvious exclusion of Kenyans and East Africans on this soundtrack is depressing.

The movie was based on Kenya.

Y´all could at least had Lupita or Barack on the outro Kenya since we don´t have artists in. Rafiki, Simba and Nala are Kenyan.

Mdee

Meanwhile, bongo flava songbird, Vanessa Mdee expresses:

Hii kitu ni biashara Poly, na waPopo wako na interests zao.

Wote wanajua filamu iko set in East Africa na kihalali tungestahili kupata kanafasi,

lakini hatuna wanaotuwakilisha huko kwa maExec wa Disney au kwa team ya Beyoncé.

Isitoshe wakipiga mahesabu kihalali watu wa magharibi wanatuzidi kibiashara kwenye ununuzi wa bidha na mziki ndani na nje ya bara la Afrika.

Kihalali kabisa ingepaswa hii album ijae Kiswahili na masound ya pande zetu

lakini kwenye soko la kimataifa bado sisi sio wazito in comparison to watu wa magharibi.

Wangepaswa kufanya research to fully embody the essence of Simba.

Lakini ndio hivyo. Na kiukweli ni misrepresentation na kuna matata lakini ndio hivyo soko linavamiwa.

Shikeni la kwenu. Ownership.

Diamond

Diamond´s message is:

Making me Proud ????????????
However, masses think Chibu is being pretty mean with such a comment.

Because given a chance, he would comment ¨I am proud of you¨ instead.

According to Simba´s message, the world rotates around him and everything done has to be in reference to him.

Anyway, Congratulations to the beauty!

Ali Kiba´s wife speaks days after breakup rumors

Ali Kiba´s Kenyan wife, Amina puts off breakup rumors confirming that their fire of love is still blazing hot.

Hardly days ago, the two seemingly parted ways over Ali Kiba´s philandering ways that his wife has had enough of.

However, none of the two came out to deny neither accept the rumors until Amina decided that enough is enough.

Over the weekend, the Kenyan born beauty who mothers King Kiba´s son refuted the breakup claims citing that their love is very alive.

She expresses her love for the bongo star as well as their son confirming:

Sura na baraka zake ndoa ya haki Allah shahid tumapendana na kulea mtoto wetu.

MANENO YAO YAMEGONGA MWAMBA ???????? Sisi twapendana daima ????????????????

I love All???????? Penzi lingali hai sanaaa bby @officialalikiba ❤❤ na My son ???????????????? @officialkeyaan @officialkeyaan

Unfortunately, it is not that simple to get it out of the King of Bongo, with his social media pages, all about his music and business. Period!

Watch: Zari narrates how Diamond´s pleas to walk her down the isle fell on deaf ears

Diamond´s ex, Zari Hassan speaks up about how the Tanzanian crooner tried crouching back after cheating on her with Hamisa Mobetto.

During an interview with Millard Ayo, the Ugandan socialite narrated events following her discovery that Diamond and Hamisa were hooking up.

Mama Tiffah flew into Kenya to have a talk with her then husband, Diamond after rumors that he was seen with Hamisa Mobetto.

The two cleared the air on the issue before Zari flew back to South Africa but her heart and mind was not settled about Chibu´s philandering ways.

So on giving it a second thought, she decided to sit and pen down the ´Black rose´ letter on Instagram that saw her dump the father of her 2 kids.

Further sharing that Simba failed to show up for Tiffah´s birthday, last year, something the two had already discussed time and again.

Diamond´s pleas

And taking advantage of the situation, the bongo artist tried to beg Zari to marry him, for the cameras and fans that looked up to the power couple.

However, in Zari´s right mind, that was not going to provide a long-term solution, because the problem was not the marriage but Diamond´s wayward ways.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BztaPInpynj/

And after all, it is not like she was desperate to get married to him.

What hurt her most was how disrespectful the Wasafi CEO was to her and their 2 children.

Therefore, in the interests of them both, Zari´s idea was that they take things slow and try figuring things out.

Mama Tee let’s get married you know when we get married we are going to shut them up.

Nikamwambia Naseeb, it’s not an issue of you getting married to me, the issue is you.

Even if you married me today and you are still not changing your behavior, it’s not going to change anything… I’m not desperate…

zilikuwa kwenye chat, sio call so that if today you ask me for evidence itakosa, it’s on WhatsApp and if he says it’s not true I will screenshot for you those WhatsApp messages

For Naseeb it was plain disrespect.

I am a powerful woman I have an image to maintain. The respect was not there.

Not only that so many times I asked him about the things I was hearing from the blogs and he denied everything.

Hamisa´s son

Additionally, Diamond´s plea to the Boss Lady was that she tries welcoming his son born out of wedlock with Hamisa Mobetto, into her heart.

This was a tough thing on the South-African based businesswoman considering fact that Dilan was a result of Diamond cheating on her with Hamisa.

 

This would not be something simple for her to do.

Revealing that she was still torn apart, still trying to get her wounds healed, and Diamond forcing the child onto Zari was never the right thing to try.

Diamond Platinumz´ desire was to bring the kids together, to have them grow like brother and sister because they all are his own flesh and blood.

Mama Tee however, forewarns that if Diamond comes back to refute what she is claiming is true, then she will have no choice but to screenshot their Whats App chats for the public.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B0I24MrnJ_j/

Adding that she will further get back with Millard Ayo on interview number two, that will be fiery.
