“Wakishikamana, itakua nzito” Ali Kiba emphasizes on the need for unity among Tanzanian artistes following Harmonize and Diamond’s split

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Despite fact that he might be ruling Diamond’s biggest rival kingdom, Ali Kiba is a soft spoken man who only speaks when the need arises.

Apart from his music, football and brand ambassadorial duties that are in the know, we hardly know anything about his private life.

Yes, there are a couple of scandals that strike his territory but being human that is bound to happen. And it is only a few instances that we can attest to, otherwise, he leads a private life.

However, seems necessity has arisen and it is time to address the issue at hand. Bongo land’s most recent and unexpected feud between Harmonize and Diamond is the issue here.

The climate in Tanzania was ruined just by this bitter fallout that masses are still trying to come to terms with.

During a recent Tanzanian movie premiere, the bongo star was compelled to address any wrangles going on between Tanzanian artistes.

Therefore, hinting on WCB’s issue though in a cryptic way.

Sanaa ina upana mkubwa sana. Ila ninachotaka kusistiza ni kwamba, kama wanasanaa hawatakobaliana kukunja ngumi, inamaanisha kwamba sasa hivi wameseparate, hawajashikamana. Wakishikamana, itakua nzito. Kwa hiyo wakikeep kwa pamoja, itamake sense.

Willy Paul should do everyone a favour and quit gospel music

Posted on by David Kingsley

I don’t understand why Wilson Abubakar Radido, alias Willy Paul, is still hanging on the ‘gospel artist’ tag when he goes against that Christianity teaches.

From releasing controversial music to his seductive dance moves on stage to his lifestyle, I’m sure even the man above frowns at the mention of his name.

Also read: Willy Paul has completely lost it, he’s really possessed!

The Tam Tam hitmaker is a talented artist, no one is denying that. However, I don’t get why he prefers to limit himself by identifying with what he’s clearly not.

By crossing over to the secular industry, Willy Paul will have the freedom to live his life however he sees fit because there are no rules on that side.

As he continues to refer to himself as a gospel artist, he makes people who identify with Christians feel like they are also restricting themselves.

They get the feeling that they can also be bad boys and ape Willy Paul’s habits and follow the teaching in the Bible at the same time.

He makes religion look like a joke since he does not even hide his ungodly ways from the public. It’s as if he’s really proud of himself.

As such, I strongly feel it’s high time he does all of us a favour and quit gospel because he won’t be the first.

Ali Kiba says he doesn’t need bodyguards like Diamond and the rest because God protects him  

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Tanzanian singer Ali Kiba has explained why he doesn’t walk around with bodyguards like his colleagues in the music industry.

Speaking to YoFace, Kiba said that he doesn’t need the services of bodyguards like the way Harmonize and Diamond depended on them because God is always protecting him.

“Even if I get 100 bodyguards that will not help. If someone wants to kill me they will just do it. I do not need bodyguards because God watches over me,” he said. 

No cases

We have seen how most artists are forced to travel with a huge number of bodyguards to keep fans and stalkers away. Apparently, Ali Kiba’s life has been smooth without all this and we have never heard of any nasty encounters with any fan.

Listen to him speak in the video below:

Men who listen to Bongo music, have we lost our masculinity?

Posted on by David Kingsley

Tanzanian music is big in Kenya. This is a fact of life and from the look of things, this will be the case for a long time to come. It’s just what it is.

If you are keen enough, you’ll notice that the top trending songs on YouTube (Kenya) are usually Tanzanian songs. As we speak, Diamond’s latest single dubbed The One is occupying the number one spot.

Before that, Harmonize’s Kainama was trending at number one and before that it was probably another Wasafi song or a song the likes of Aslay, Shetta Juma Jux, Darassa or even Ali Kiba. The point is, the biggest song in Kenya on most occasions is always a Tanzanian song.

There’s no explanation for this other than the fact that musicians from that country are very consistent and then there’s the obvious fact that their music is good. From the videos, to the lyrics down to the beat, everything is always top-notch.

Naturally, if you are a music fan, whether male or female, you’ll find yourself vibing to these songs never mind the fact that they are Bongo songs. Let’s be honest, when a song is good, it’s good there are no two ways about it.

I was recently having a conversation with some friends and I thought I should ask them what their thoughts are on men who listen to Bongo music. My question was driven by the fact that Tanzanian jams are always trending in Kenya.

Some of them claimed they would never listen to such songs. If they did, they would come off as weak men. Others, however, admitted that they listen to Bongo music because the songs are infectious. Incase you were wondering, I fall in the latter category. I listen to Tanzanian songs once in a while. Yup!

Truth is, no music genre is a preserve of a certain gender. It’s just the way the society has shaped our thinking. From a young age, men are taught to be tough while ladies are seen as soft. Perhaps this explains why men are drawn to Hip Hop while ladies are drawn to Bongo music, R&B and what not.

This should not be the case. Men should not feel like they are losing their masculinity because they love Bongo music. It’s totally okay to enjoy music that you feel is good. There’s absolutely no shame in it.

Diamond Platnumz

Allow me to say this again, “No music genre is a preserve of a certain gender.” If you enjoy Bongo music, knock yourself out, it doesn’t make you any  less of a man. And no, I’m not telling you to listen to Tanzanian songs at the expense of Kenyan music.

I will never work with Diamond- Ali Kiba tells fans 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Tanzanian singer Ali Kiba has said he doesn’t want to work with Diamond Platnumz and fans should stop pushing him towards it.

Diamond Platnumz’ management recently confessed that the beef between Ali Kiba and Diamond was something manufactured and there was no trouble between them.

In an interview with Tanzania’s Kwanza TV, the singer said he’s not interested with working with Diamond.

“You can’t force me to do a collaboration with anyone I don’t want to. I will be the one to make that call,” he said. 

Fake?

Hit or miss? Alikiba joins the #Githeriman challenge (Photo)

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Githeri man aka Martin Kamotho is not only popular in Kenya but around East Africa. His photo has brought life on the internet and unlike what many thought the fella has actually made quite a fortune thanks to the simple photo.

Well apart from the likes of Eric Omondi and other many Kenyan celebrities – Tanzanian sensation King Kiba has also dropped a photo pulling the Githeri man challenge.

Though I am not sure whether he is holding a transparent paper with popcorns or Githeri. He however managed to pull the over Size blazer and his pose on the photo making rounds on Instagram.

Kiba has always considered Kenya his second home, so it is not shocking to see him pull this stunt.

Ali Kiba has four children with four different baby mamas. The singer’s mother wants her son to settle down with Jokate so that she can take care of his kids.

Ali Kiba’s mother is adamant that her son is ripe for marriage since he had already utilized his youth. While speaking to Global Publishers, the singer’s mother said that her son needed to marry so that his wife could take care of his four kids.

“Mimi kama mzazi, ninaona muda wa Ali kuoa sasa umefika maana kama ni maisha ya ujana amesha­fanya kila kitu, ana watoto wanne na kila mmoja na mama yake, ni vi­zuri sasa akachukua mke ili aweze kuwalea hawa watoto wake. Mimi kama mzazi huu ndiyo msimamo wangu, ninamtaka ata­fakari na kuchukua uamuzi mara moja, maana ingawa siyo vizuri kwa mzazi kumpangia mtoto wake cha kufanya, lakini inapofikia suala la kuoa ni muhimu ukasimama na ku­toa msimamo, wakati wa kuoa ume­fika,” Ali Kiba’s mother said.

Jokate Mwegelo

Meanwhile Ali Kiba’s sister Zabibu stated that her brother should marry Jokate Mwegelo – popular Tanzanian model-cum-actress.

Zabibu explained that Jokate had all the qualities to make the perfect wife for Ali Kiba. Zabibu also threw her weight behind Jokate because she is her friend.

“Mimi namchukulia Jokate kivingine kabisa, ni msichana mwenye busara zake na amekuwa kama mshauri wangu wa karibu mno, ningetamani angekuwa mke halali wa kaka yangu kwa sababu ana vigezo vyote vya kuwa hivyo. Kwa kuwa kaka yangu bado hajaoa, ninaomba kila kukicha na­fasi hiyo ichukuliwe na Jokate kwa sababu ni mwanamke anayestahi­li kuipata nafasi hiyo ya kuwa wifi yangu,” Zabibu said.
