<\/p>\nMr Nice is not a new face in the entertainment industry. The Tanzanian singer has been in the music industry for more than 10 years and before he went missing in action, he had dropped several club bangers that saw him top on most music charts in East Africa.<\/p>\n
However, he disappeared for a while but when he came back…rumors claiming that he was seriously ill and was living in poverty started making rounds on social media.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Online news outlets also reported that he was drowning in liquor and had lost himself in this life. The singer, however chose to respond to these rumors while speaking to edaily where he went on to say that the rumors were baseless and had been cooked up to ruin his career. He said,<\/p>\n
“Kaka, niko freshi kabisa! Hivi tunapozungumza niko kwangu hapa Nairobi; hata ndiyo naamka. Ni mwili tu ndio umechoka kwa sababu nilipiga show kubwa Mtito Andei last weekend. Unajua ili mtu achape show nzuri, lazima atumie nguvu nyingi sana.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
He went on to add that,<\/p>\n
\u201cHivi mimi ni kuchoka tu; si ati naugua ama ulofa umenimaliza kama vile watu wanvyosema katika mitandao ya kijamii. Na ningependa kusema kwamba wanaoneza uvumi huo ni mahaters tu; hawanitakii mema.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
