Citizen TV Actor Opens Up about His hush-hush White Girlfriend

There’s something about Coast guys with white girls. Many of them, celebs not an exception, have fallen in love with white women, some of very advanced age (like in the case of CLD). That’s a story for another day.

Today however, camera lens points at Davis Manyurage Luvaha a.k.a. Rojo-Mo, a Swahili rap artiste born and raised in Tononoka, Mombasa. Apart from singing, Rojo-Mo is an actor in a local drama series, “Saida” that airs on Citizen TV every weekend.

He recently had a sit-down with @manuel_ofishal Spice where he opened up about his music and love life. Here’s an excerpt of that;

Take us through your music journey

I started doing music when I was in high school, though I didn’t take it seriously till I cleared my O-levels. A friend approached me and we formed a group. We would compete in rap battles. This was where I met Cannibal. I recorded my first song Kisa cha Visa which did not do well nationally but was received well in Coast. In 2008 I released Mr Dubai which did well and paved way for me. The song made me win the Best Upcoming aArtiste Award in the Nzumari Awards. In 2010, I released Ameke which I did with Chikuzee. It won several accolades. After that there was no looking back, and now here I am working with Cannibal.

Tell us more about your project with Cannibal

This year, I hooked up with Cannibal. He had an amazing proposal about forming Killer Camp. It’s a group of talented artistes based in Nairobi. We have a lady called Tiffa from Tanzania, and Nafsi Huru Mano-P from Coast.

So is it a stable on it’s own or what?

Yes it is, but at the same time it is quite different from what we have seen in the music industry. We can work with any producer who is interested in working with us, but most of the projects we have undertaken are being done by Chili Inc, including our latest track Sababu ya muziki.

Your style of rap is distinct. Tell us about it:

I’m a story teller. I do Swahili rap with creativity from story telling.

Spicers have spotted you a number of times on Citizen TV’s Saida. How did you go about bagging the role?

The director of the programme called me and told me that he wanted to cast me. No auditions, no nothing; he happened to like my image and the rest as they say is history.

An artiste or producer you’ve been dying to work with?

I like the style and lyrical prowess of Kristoff. We’re actually working with him on a track. I am also working with Reina on a track produced by Producer Toti.

White fiancé, how did that happen?

Somehow, I knew that would come up. I am engaged to a white girl from Netherlands. However, I don’t wish to speak much on this matter as I wouldn’t want to put her under too much media and public pressure. We met in Coast, Mtwapa at a friend’s party. She was there with her friends. The attraction was instant. From there on, one thing led to another.

It’s been insinuated your relationship is more of a “get ahead” kinda deal. That true?

Ours is true love and I wish people would stop projecting me as a gold digger.
