Susumila is not a new name in the entertainment industry. In fact he is one of the most talented singers we have come to see from coast and judging from how his previous songs have done in the past – we are certain he is going far.
There are however new reports indicating that the singer is planning to drop a new song in 2 weeks where he is heard praising the illuminati cult for his wealth and fame.
Susumila
The song dubbed Tawire has left bloggers from coast talking since ‘Tawire’ is apparently a phrase commonly used by witch doctors. Apparently he goes on to use words like ‘Subihan’ which are names used to describe ghosts.
In the song he apparently praises the cult for helping him get a car, beautiful women, and fame.
However, speaking during a recent interview the artist brushed off the claims saying;
“I work hard boss, silali nahangaika. Kama umechunguza I’m very consistent in my work, I push my music alot kwa sababu ndio njia pekee inayolipa bills zangu. Hata vitabu vya dini vinasema asiyefanya kazi asile,”
Susumila
His 5 rings have also been associated with the cult but he continues to insist that he is not in any cult.
Diamod Platnumz and Zari Hassan’s kids have lately been kept on the low to avoid exposing them to drama that has been happening online – especially now that it is clear to see that their daddy had another child with Hamisa Mobetto.
Hamisa Mobetto’s son
However, their grandmother (Diamond Platnumz mum) has been sharing photos of the kids since she has nothing to lose even when critics come her way. She is a proud grandmother and her way of showing it is by posting the kids photos on her social media pages.
Just recently she uploaded a couple of new photos showing both Tiffah and Nillan spending time together. Judging from her captions, she refers to Tiffah as her twin and Nillan as her ‘husband’ – something that most Swahili women do.
Anyway checkout the photos below:

George Waweru Kamonye, popularly known as deejay Kalonje is now set to marry the love of his life Sonnie Kangai who also happens to be the mother of his two children.
The renown DJ has however been keeping a low profile on his personal life and if you ask me, he seems to have taken a break from his career to focus on his family since it has been a while since he released a new mixtape.

Away from that, he recently shared a photo to announce that his girlfriend had accepted to marry him after he got on his knee to propose during their recent visit to Dubai where they were vacationing.
He shared a picture of Sonnie flaunting her engagement ring and captioned to say;
“She said yes!”

On Sunday (10th September) Coke Studio Africa hosted an exclusive viewing party at Kiza Lounge, Nairobi, in celebration of the premiere of highly anticipated 2017 edition of the Kenyan produced Pan-African music show, this year dubbed Coke Studio Africa – 2017.
Coke Studio divas: Dela and The Band BeCa joined a host of guests including Coca Cola Executives, Coke Studio Africa band and production crew, celebrities, influencers and Kenya’s top media at the premiere event.

Now in its fifth year in Kenya, Coke Studio Africa continues to display the best of Kenyan music and talent as well as from their African counterparts. The Kenyan artists set to feature on the show this year include “Yego” hitmaker Khaligraph Jones, Kenya’s comeback king of the “Mungu Pekee” and “Malaika” hits: Nyashinski, award-winning music group Sauti Sol, the sassy “Nikimuona” singer Avril and the fast rising girl duo – The Band BeCa.
Coke Studio aims to inspire and introduce Africa’s music talents to a new and wider audience through interaction, collaboration and cooperation amongst musical artists while also building a strong brand connection with Africa’s young and growing population. Coke Studio Africa has given Kenyan artists a platform to meet other artists and top music producers from Africa to share ideas and collaborate. It breaks the wall of both geographical and genre differences by enabling collaborations across the continent and beyond.

Several key collaborations between Kenyan artists and other African acts have been born through Coke Studio meet-ups. Since their inception on the show, Africa’s Best Group from Kenya Sauti Sol have gone on to orchestrate collaborations with artists they have met on the show. These include “Africa” with Nigerian songbird Yemi Alade, “Unconditionally Bae” with Tanzania’s Alikiba and “Oya Come Make We Go” with Nigerian music icon: 2Baba, among others. Bahati, the “Barua” hitmaker was on Coke Studio season 4 last year to collaborate with Lydia Jazmine and Kiss Daniel, after which he followed up on his time on the show and did a collabo with Uganda’s beloved “Sitya Loss” singer and BET award-winner Eddy Kenzo in the song “Barua Kwa Mama”. Other major collabos off Coke Studio include Nyashinski and Yemi Alade (who were paired on the show last year) in Yemi’s new Swahili song “Nakupenda”. King Kaka and Hip Hop Pantsula from South Africa also produced “Tulia Tu”. Self-made top Kenyan rapper, Khaligraph Jones has also collaborated with M.I Abaga from Nigeria in “Black Bill Gates” from his acclaimed mixtape.

Coke Studio Africa – 2017 also promises to deliver and spark more music collaborations beyond the show. In fact, some have already been recorded while others are still in the pipeline.
“Coke Studio Africa provides a platform for our Kenyan artists to express their views to life and spread their wings across borders. Music has a way of conveying messages and uniting people and as Coca-Cola, we are happy to connect with our consumers through music,” said Lucy Odour, Marketing Manager – Kenya.
Dubbed Coke Studio Africa – 2017, this year’s show comprises 11 one-hour episodes. The first 8 episodes will be brand new episodes with episode 9 being the season’s highlights. Episode 10 already dubbed the ‘Global Fusion Edition’ will feature the show’s international guest star: Jason Derulo alongside Kenya’s Dela. The season finale will be a special Christmas episode.
Each one of the show’s episodes will have 5 segments. The second segment will be a Remix/Fusion, a section that will cleverly bring back childhood memories fondly known to Kenyans as TBT. Here artists will select ‘throwback’ music and perform their own rendition of it. The other segments will include Covers, where paired artists do each other’s songs, the Cultural Exchange, the Big Break platform and then performances of original tracks will bring the episodes to a close.

King Kiba who is currently doing pretty well with his latest song Seduce me is proving to be a good man to his family and also the best uncle his brother’s (Abdu Kiba) child.
Nutayla Kiba’s bash
This past weekend the Kiba family got together to celebrate their little baby girl’s birthday and judging from the photos making rounds online there is no doubt that they spent quite an amount to give the young girl the best bash.
For the very first time, King Kiba shared the girl’s photo on his social media pages where he celebrated her leaving his fans amazed since Kiba remains as one of the most popular East African artist who rarely shares personal photos on his gram if it doesn’t have anything to do with his job.
Kenyan boy band Sauti Sol has now managed to join the list of celebrities with 1 million views on Instagram and of course they would not let this go unnoticed.
To announce the good news, they wrote a short message through their twitter handle where they said;
Sauti Sol’s post
#Goodmorning Apparently we’re the first Kenyan musicians to reach a million legit folk on @Instagram. Damn it’s hard outchea. ????????
unlike the likes of Avril Nyambura and many others – Sauti Sol page still remains unverified but hopefully this will happen pretty soon since they are not only big in Kenya but in Africa and other parts of the world.
However, what caught my attention is that they claim that their 1 million followers are legit which has left me wondering whether the likes of Khaligraph Jones who have 200k followers
and are still verified have ghost followers or were the boys throwing shade?
Anyway, as for now they are in Germany where they held a lit show this past weekend for their fans.
Could he be back? A lot of people have been left wondering whether Ivan Don is back from the dead after ‘he’ posted a new photo of his son dining with one of his friends through his gram a few months after his death.
The photo which has raised mixed reactions among social media users who are now demanding to know who is handling Ivan Don’s Instagram page since they all witnessed his burial.
Latest photo shared on Ivan’s page
However, Zari who was among those who commented on the photo revealed that the photo had been posted by Ivan’s management team but the fans could not hear none of this.
Anyway, we are yet to know whether the Instagram account will be passed down to the son’s or deactivated since fans are not comfortable with photos being uploaded on a dead man’s social media account.
Songbird Wahu Kagwia and her hubby Nameless this past weekend 10th September marked their 12th wedding anniversary through their social media pages where they wrote beautiful messages to show how blessed they feel to have each other.
Wahu and Nameless
Nameless and Wahu got married in a white wedding back in 2005 joining the list of celebrity couples from then. They have however been blessed with two lovely girls, Tumiso and Nyakio who have definitely brought joy to the couple.
Nameless and Wahu with their girls
These two remain as the perfect example of celebrity marriages since they have never been involved in any scandals and if I am not wrong, a testimony that celebrities can also stick to one partner.
Nameless through his gram shared the photo below where he wrote saying;

His wife Wahu Kagwi was also not left behind as she reposted the photo and wrote to say;

However what caught my attention, is that most celebrities including Maina Kageni also joined in to leave special messages to the couple. Read their comments in the posts above.
He might be the funniest comedian in Kenya but trust me Njugush also knows how to keep his wife, Celestine, happy despite his busy schedule.
Just recently he celebrated his wife’s birthday through his social media pages where he narrated how they met and how she always stood by him despite knowing that he had no money. Njugush went on to add that at times she would spare her collage pocket money just to make sure he had enough shopping in the house.
https://instagram.com/p/BYxF7ZpB-67/
Their love story left many shocked and impressed with how they held each other through the hard time – I mean, this is something that rarely happens with couples from this age.
Away from that, Njugush made sure he flew his wife to Dubai for her birthday just to show how much he appreciated her. He however shared a few photos from their get away to prove that he was now in a position to treat his Queen the right way.
Below are the photos;

Actress Catherine Kamau who is popular for Sue and John has finally received her engagement ring from long term boyfriend Phil Karanja who also happens to be among the most successful producers in the Kenyan film
industry.
The lady shared a photo and a video showing off her rock that she got this past weekend. According to Catherine Kamau, her fiancé tricked into thinking that they were to attend the Tekno concert – only to find out that Phil had better plans!
https://instagram.com/p/BY2pKPzDNkY/
Catherine Kamau who is a mum of one will be walking down the aisle with the love of her life in a few weeks or months as revealed through her gram but for now she is grateful to have found a man like Phil who has not only proven to be a good boyfriend to her but a responsible father figure to her son.
The couple will be joining the list of celebrities we have seen get married in the entertainment industry and we from the Ghafla team wish them all the best!
Social media trolls are the worst! They can lower a persons self esteem to zero especially if the person is emotional. Well, the latest person to suffer negative comments on Instagram is Churchill’s comedian Mamito.
This happened after the lady shared a photo to announce that she was heading to Dubai where she was accompanied by her fellow colleagues MCA Tricky and Owago ahead of their show dubbed ‘Summer Laughs’ which is set to go down tonight.
However, many of Mamito’s were not impressed by the color of hair she chose to dye her hair. From the comments it’s easy to tell that Kenyans on social media have zero chills!
Not quite sure why they seemed bitter about the new hair so when she has always been dying her hair using different shades. Anyway checkout the comments on the post below:
Rapper Octopizzo has always proven to be a good dad to his kids. Though he prefers keeping his private life on the low, the fella sometimes takes time to celebrate his kids through his gram.
Well apart from Tracy – Octopizzo has other children who he has been open about. If i am not wrong he has two daughters from his different Caucasian women he was involved with a while back.
Away from that, the rapper is jetted into Berlin to celebrate one of his daughter’s birthday. From the photo he shared, he revealed that his adorable daughter is called Akinyi and judging from their smiles – one doesn’t need a DNA test to confirm that the two are related. Checkout the adorable photo he shared; isn’t she beautiful!
Avril Nyambura must be living a comfortable life judging the photos shared on her gram. For some reason her fans have been leaving comments asking what she has been eating since her body is growing bigger at the right places especially her hips which are now broadening like Grace Msalame’s.
Singer Avril
The singer who recently released a new song dubbed babiee featuring Apass has left team mafisi ogling her curvy body thanks to the figure hugging outfits that leave no room for imagination.
Her gram which has already been certified is always active whenever she shares a new photo and we cannot blame her fans since the lady has been sharing hot photos lately.
Not quite sure if she is adding weight but Avril’s figure is definitely giving many sleepless nights. Take a look at her figure in the photos below;
There is nothing that excites people like a song that has good beats and lyrics! So far there are many artistes releasing songs but I bet there is none which can compare to Ijekimora’s latest song dubbed ‘Shakara‘.
Shakara
Ijekimora who is a sassy Nigerian artiste, passionate about music has returned to the music scene with this mid- tempo groovy giving her fellow female artists a run for their money.
The new tune titled ‘Shakara’ was produced by the prolific Demsa, giving Ijekimora the opportunity of taking the music scene by storm thanks to the danceable beats.
Well, if you are a fan of Nigerian music then Shakara is a must have song! Listen to it below!
The Talk Central host Ms Kalekye Mumo is not only popular because she is a media personality but because she is among the very few women who have become inspirational icons to many young ladies.
She has a vibe that attracts many and this can be seen from the number of people who follow her on her social media pages. So far she has taught many on the importance of accepting their bodies not forgetting to love themselves as they are.
Kalekye Mumo with her mum and dad
Away from her online life, Kalekye Mumo likes to keep her private life on the low and for this reason we rarely get to see her loved ones. However she decided to let in her fans just recently while celebrating her dad’s 82nd birthday.
She celebrated him using a beautiful message where she described him as her 1st love and the man that loves her unconditionally leaving her fans admiring the bond she shares with her father. She wrote:
“He is my 1ST LOVE, The one all stand test to, the one who loves me unconditionally and calls me his queen…My father, my beloved dad… None compared to you!
Happy birthday daddy

Comedian Teacher Wanjiku must be one happy woman to have a teenage daughter who will soon be joining high school. She however tries to keep her baby girls off social media due to some personal reasons – which is understandable.
Teacher Wanjiku with her husband
But, her youngest daughter, Zuri, who she welcomed back in 2015 seems to be growing really fast. The last time we saw her she was just a toddler barely 2 months but just recently the comedian new photos of daughter to show how big baby Zuri looks.
Baby zuri

If you remember a few months ago, Reverend Lucy Natasha’s photos caused a stir online as many described her as the hottest pastor they have ever come across.
Judging from how she dresses and carries herself there is no doubt that the lady is quite stylish and for this reason fans cannot stop stalking her social media pages.
Just recently she shared her throwback photos to show her followers how adorable she looked back in the day. She has not changed much but I am sure she had no idea that one day she be popular especially because she was raised in a strict Christian family.
Below are her throwback photo.

Much has been said about Tanzanian sweetheart Wema Sepetu ever since she broke up with Diamond Platnumz. She has been said to be among the popular ladies who have dated big names in Tanzania including a politician.
A while back, the lady was rumored to be dating the chairman of Tanzanian opposition party CHADEMA, Freeman Mbowe after being spotted together severally. However Freeman brushed off the rumors saying that he was just friends with the lady.
Wema Sepetu with Freeman
And now Wema Sepetu has finally decided to address the issue since she feels that the world needs to know the truth. Speaking during an interview the lady also denied being in a relationship with the CHADEMA party chairman and went on to describe this as something being cooked by politicians to bring the fella down especially because they are aware that he has a wife. She said;
Mimi mwenyewe sijui kilipoanzia na kwanza ninavyomuheshimu yule baba mpaka namuogopa sasa hili lilipotokea. I was like hizi ni figisu. Ingawa sijakutana na Mbowe toka jambo hili kutokea kwa sababu yupo busy lakini viongozi wengine wa Chadema walinielewesha ni kwa nini watu wanafanya hivyo. Unajua hizi ni siasa. Huku ni upizani na wengine ndiyo wapo madarakani so mambo kama haya ya kisiasa yanatokea.
She however did not explain how her ‘romantic’ audio with Mbowe got online, but as for now Wema
Sepetu says she is just friends with the fella. But is she being honest?

Awinja’s son
The lass went missing in action after welcoming her 1st born baby with the love of her life. From what we know is that she had taken some time off to bond with her child but today being her birthday, she could not help but share a photo with him.
However, just like most celebrities in the country..Awinja did not unveil her baby’s face but looking at the photo she shared it is clear to see that she has since lost the baby fat she gained after her pregnancy.
Awinja captioned the photo saying;
Wohoo!! It’s my #birthday and this calls for a celebration because I get to celebrate it with my greatest gift ever! My son who also turned 3 months old?, I thank God. #Septemberbabies
Njugush is a lucky man to have found a woman like Celestine who happens to be his wife! Just recently the lady turned a year older and to mark the special day, Njugush made sure to pamper her with a short trip away from the city just to have some alone time.
Njugush and his wife
Anyway, this was however not enough as Njugush has now come out to express his love for his wife through a message shared on his gram. From what the comedian wrote we now understand that his wife has been by his side from the very start even before he became famous
The comedian went on to say,
DAY UNO
This woman has been soo good to me.
Starting out bana nilikua nimeparara sana. There was no Njugush just a young guy trying to make it in life. Kuosha masahani kwa hoteli, auditions hapa na pale. This lady always held me down.I was so broke that at times couldn’t afford supper. She’d always save her college pocket money for that.She’d go to githurai market and do some shopping for the house. Lol yani she’s that day one.
He went on to add that;
I was so broke that on her birthdays i used to kill my family members bana “babe nimepigiwa simu kuna uncle wa cousin ya aunt ya cucu wa beste ya mwalimu wangu wa nursery amepass…….. Exams” lol nisiitishwe treat aki. but she understood, the heart really wanted to treat her lakini mfuko ilikua petition.
She told me because we gonna be together for long hizo birthday nitalipia tu loool and she was categorical that she’d want one of those birthday’s iwe dubai.
Talking about one of the most embarrassing moments he faced when she was around Njugush said:
Iv never seen a mgenge lady such as she . I rem one day she came to my kabedsitter pale transami, a neighbours’ laptop had been stolen.physical searches were being conducted house to house, now it was my bedsitter’s turn. Aki the caretaker aliingia akaona nikiwa na matress na stove only akacheka and said ‘pwaahaha hapa ata mtu hawezi ficha” After they left this lady laughed out and said “babe usiskie vibaya, hii nyumba siku moja tutajaza” Thats the moment i knew haendi mahali (also that’s when we started using ata sijaskia vibaya phrase) Yani nyumba ilikua empty mpaka i made sure Abel mutua never entered that house, alikua anaenda kuingia chochoro nameambia huku ni kubaya side mirror zinaenda kwenda lol so he would fret and anasema nitaingia basi kukiwa mchana, i made sure that didn’t happen.lool
For the conclusion he added to say;
For real she kept me on my toes. Yani i had to make it or make it. I haven’t reached there yet but i thank God so far. He’s been amazing like i can’t say enough. I don’t know if there’s nothing i wouldn’t do for her, including kushika room?. Brothers and sisters never get tired of those humble beginnings Happy birthday @celestinendinda thanks for taking care of me,
NOW it’s my time, i got you babe
Age is nothing but a number and you will understand this after seeing how Julie Gichuru dresses up and wears her hair.
The former TV anchor – who is now 43 years has been inspiring many young ladies with how she carries herself (in terms of fashion) and career wise.
She is undeniably beautiful and still keeps getting younger with the years. Well, this can be seen in her new hair do that has left many admiring her. Julie Gichuru has now switche up her hair from dark brown or rather black to blonde with a touch of black and boy does she look beautiful!
Looking at the photo it is easy to say that the lady is still in her early 30’s and I guess this is because she understands the importance of keeping her looks interesting. Checkout the new photo below;
Comedian Njugush will never stop entertaining fans since his life is full of jokes. Though we rarely get to see his life off social media pages, I am pretty sure that his wife enjoys his company more!
After expressing how much he was ‘in to’ Catherine Kamau a few weeks ago…the comedian has yet again introduced a beautiful lady who he claims could have won his heart over if he was single.
Njugush revealed this through his Instagram page where he wrote saying;
Madame wa Kenya ni wa supuu…Nimepatana na huyu mshe…Lazma katambe, kitarudiwo,kitaumana, issa Moto
Nairobi Diaries actress Risper Faith should count herself lucky to have found a man like Brian who is willing to build her house which they will soon call home.
The mansion which is said to have cost millions is located somewhere in the fine Nairobi suburbs. Just a few weeks ago she shared photos of the unfinished 3 story house but judging from the new photos shared on her Instagram story just recently – we have every reason to believe that Brian indeed used a lot of money on the building.
The former socialite could not hold in the joy she was feeling especially because of the pool which was designed using letter ‘R’ for Risper. Away from that, word has it the couple will be walking down the aisle in a few months!
Word making rounds on social media claims that comedian Owago Onyiro was conned Ksh 70,000 by a young university student, Maureen Wanjiku who he shared a few details about on his social media pages before deleting the post. He allegedly wrote to say;
“Kindly be careful in case you get a call from this number 07*******01.This lady is a thief she corned me 70k. She is a bad example for all O***u ladies s****n. #Sharewidely”
However the lady has finally decided to fire back at the comedian since he is aiming at ruining her image. Speaking to SDE, Maureen Wanjiku brushed off the story saying that the comedian had cooked up the story since he had no evidence to show the money transaction.
She went on to add that they have never met in person however they were in the same WhatsApp group, chinatown where Owago used to talk to her before one day revealing that he had slept with her friend.
But after Maureen and her friend confronted him the comedian opted to trash talk her through his Facebook page where he also shared her phone number.
TV host Kobi Kihara remains as one of the hottest television girls we have come to see in our generation. She is not only beautiful but a lady who has brains and skills of entrepreneurship!
She recently shared new photos leaving most of the team mafisi ogling her fine figure which was too visible thanks to the black jumpsuit she stepped out wearing.
What makes her even more beautiful is her dark chocolate skin tone that defines a true black African woman.
Below are a few photos that have left many admiring the lady;
Gospel singer Benachi who relocated to the United States a while back seems to be enjoying his life now that he is married!
