TPF6 Judge Quits Even Before the Show Starts
Tusker Project Fame (TPF) now in its 6th season is set to officially kick off this Sunday on Citizen TV. However just days to the start, the show is already experiencing setbacks.
A couple of days after Citizen TV via its Twitter handle revealed that legendary Tanzanian singer, Zahir Zorro will pair up with Ian Mbugua (Kenya) and Juliana Kanyomozi (Uganda), the music icon has since distanced himself from the judging panel.
In a tweet, Zorro said that he’s working on something else hence no longer with TPF6.
@achirex_mtz Thank you Sir, But i’m workin’ on something else now. No longer with tpf6

Zorro was supposed to take Hermes Lyimo a.k.a. Hermy B who has been a judge on the previous TPF seasons. His withdrawal from the show could be due to the hostile reception he got when word went out that he will on the panel of the biggest reality show in Eastern and Central Africa.
