Tanzanian Singer, Ali Kiba is one proud man and father of 4 kids that he rarely flaunts on his social media pages.
Just recently the Bongo star blessed the internet with a new photo of his youngest baby boy, Keyaan just to show how big he has since grown.
Unlike other times when the singer posts half cut out shots of Keyaan, this time around he went all out sharing an adorable photo of his grown son on his Instagram page.
Daddy’s twin
Judging from the recent post, it’s evident that fans were amazed by the insane resemblance baby Keeyan and his daddy share.
The singer also went on to caption the photo saying;
King Kiba has a new song dubbed Mshumaa that has left Bongo music lovers addicted to his new project.
Just like Cinderella and Mwana King Kiba’s new project Mshumaa is definitely what fans were waiting for after his long silence.
This song has however left many speculating that he dedicated it to his ex wife Amina Khalef who apparently walked out on the singer due to personal reasons that also involved the singer’s sisters and mother.
Mshumaa
Well, the lyrics in this song are self explanatory and if anything, it’s obvious to see that this might have been based on a true life story.
In the second verse Alikiba goes on to reveal that his lover (probably ex wife) left him all in the dark after leaving him. Not quite sure whether this is just another project or a way to woo his wife back home!
Diamond Platnumz has responded to Alikiba’s post that left many talking on social just a few hours ago.
Well, it all started after Diamond Platnumz went on to sarcastically ask Harmonize and Alikiba to perform for the upcoming Wasafi Festival event.
Judging from how Diamond Platnumz put it, it’s evident that he used this strategy to strategize his marketing skills for the popular WCB festival.
Alikiba on the other hand did not want to be dragged into any WCB attention seeking plot and for this reason went on to publicly call out Diamond Platnumz for the first time! He wrote….
Diamond Platnumz response
Seems that Diamond Platnumz also decided to respond to Kiba’s post and through his Twitter handle the WCB boss wrote saying;
A lot has been said about Alikiba and his latest failed marriage.
From the posts making rounds on social media is that Alikiba’s Kenyan wife is said to have rubbed her in laws the wrong way which forced her out of the Kiba family.
Apparently Amina Khalef had been looking forward to living like a celebrity’s wife only to realize that Alikiba preferred hosting his entire family; which then led to the complications in their marriage.
Alikiba divorces his wife?
Well, Alikiba and his Kenyan wife are said to have divorced following their differences.
Ms Amina couldn’t stand the fact that Alikiba’s siblings and fellow artists were living in her home; but Alikiba seems to have had other plans!
Word making rounds on social media is that Alikiba’s mum and sisters are the reason his marriage to Amina Khalef.
Apparently the lady walked out on her man after several scandals involving the Kiba family.
As reported by Tanzanian gossip tabloids, Amina Khalef allegedly went through a lot including being accused of bewitching Kiba’s eldest son who had been fainting from time to time.
Anyway, Kiba’s family no longer wants anything to do with the lady and all they want is for her to raise their grandchild.
Kiba’s family hits back
Well, others claim that Alikiba’s family has been too much involved in their son’s life.
In a post shared by one of Kiba’s family members, they are now urging people to stop dragging Kiba’s mum to the messy scandal that has left many talking. She wrote saying;
Tanzania as always have a way to sway their vibe down our hearts . This time Rockstart Entertainments boss Ali Kiba has featured in fellow artist Aslay’s Song dubbed ‘Bembea”
The song starts with an Indian-Arabic blend of sounds coupled with Kibas’s signature ‘YO!’ Aslay takes up the first part of the song with the Swahili lyrics rolling off his tongue with ease backed up by his captivating voice while Kiba picks up the last part of the song at the same pace and carries it to the end. The transition is smooth and the two voices well blended.
Lyrics
The lyrics delivered at a slow pace gives the listener enough time to listen. Aslay states his contentment in the love he is receiving and how he can go lifeless in the event that he misses out on that love.
‘naridhika ridhika, naridhika na huba lako, Nakuahidi ntakufa nikija kulikosa hilo penzi lako’
Further on , Kiba emphasizes the need to be able to keep the love,regardless of the negativity surrounding it.
The duo are well known to reach the hearts of many ladies and this song is just about it.
The song is an embodiment that carries all that is their about love and its secrets.The urge to always be there for each other despite the hustle in life.
“Beiby, tuifiche hiyo siri Tusionyeshe dhahiri Huwanga wanasubiri Waone utavyonimwaga”
This to ask the love of his life to keep their love a secret especially from those that posses negative energy.
Production
The music video directed by Hanscana features two main scenes. One in the serene coastal atmospehere(aqua blue ocean, green grass and trees, white sand, plush white beds and seats) that gives a calm relaxing effect.
The second indoor set up is open, with a good blend of cool colors. There isn’t any serious dancing which gives enough room and time to enjoy the tune which is close to a Mexican serenade staged by Alejandro outside Maria-Clara’s bedroom window. Yeah right!
Well the song was averagely doen as compared to the duo’s track record this was not their best collabo.We want more guys.
For rating I will go for a 5/10.Watch and tell us what you think.
Singer Ali Kiba doesn’t live a flashy lifestyle because it’s a choice. Speaking to Global TV, the hitmaker noted that should he decide to lead a flashy lifestyle, everyone would be shocked.
Ali Kiba said that leaving a simple life helps him interact with his fans and also keep a lot about his life away from the media.
“Kwa sababu tunaishi maisha ambayo yako real, mimi naishi kama nyinyi mnavyo ishi, mimi siishi ki-star. Nikisema niishi ki-star mtaniogopa kwa sababu naeza kuishi ki-star,” said Kiba.
Beefs
Kiba, who has been beefing with Diamond for a long time now, also went on to say that artists should put their egos aside and work together.
“No niliji-engage na football kwa sababu ya business, I’m a businessman now, lakini vile vile nafanya muziki, niko serious kabisaa, I’m a musician not a footballer. Niliji-engage tu na football kwa sababu ya business yangu ya energy drink,” he said.
Alikiba seems to be taking time off music and is now more focused in his football as seen on his social media pages.
Despite his busy schedule the fella however ensures to spend some quality time with his family and wife.
After finally settling down with his Kenyan wife, the couple was blessed with a handsome baby boy that they both kept off social media; until just a few hours when the Bongo singer finally unveiled his face.
Through his Instagram account, Kiba uploaded a new photo parading his two sons that look alike despite having different Mum’s.
9th birthday
He did this to celebrate his eldest son, Kiba Junior’s birthday as he now turns 9 years. This time around the birthday post was however different as the youngest son was also featured in the photos.
Judging from how the boys look alike, we can agree that they definitely got it from their papa. Check out the photos below.
King Kiba, the man with many talents, born Ali Saleh Kiba was born 26th November 1986 in Iringa, Tanzania to Tombwe Njere and Saleh Omari. He is the first of four children and is followed by Abdu Saleh Kiba, Zabibu Saleh Kiba and Abubakar Saleh Kiba. He is a recording artist and singer-songwriter. Alikiba is the director of Rockstar4000. Kiba became a household name in 2007, when he released the album Cinderella. The album broke record as the best selling album in East Africa. He is known for his hit songs Mwana, “Aje” , “Chekecha Cheketua” “Cinderella”, “Nakshi Mrembo”, “Usiniseme and Dushelele”. .He has also done a collaboration with R Kelly.
Family and Marriage

Education
Alikiba attended Upanga Primary School in Dar es salaam before proceeding to secondary school. Although he has a passion for music, Alikiba developed interest in soccer. He is a left legged.
In 2004, he started pursuing a career as a songwriter and a music artist and wrote his first song, Maria. Later that year, Alikiba started working on his first album. In 2007 he released Cinderella Album. This was the album that introduced Alikiba to the music scene.

King Kiba has recently released a song dubbed Mbio. Further, it is a song that he claims to have written 10 years ago while he first visited Muscat Oman.
To watch the video click on the link below.
In addition Alikiba has given bongo music a great feel. His is some good work that has seen him travel the world. Finally, his music is loved in Kenyan and has a large fan base here.
Mbio is the newest jam by Alikiba the Africa King. You are not gonna miss this. He wrote this song 10 years ago when he first visited Oman as he says on his Instagram page and has released it in 2019. Alikiba returned to Oman for a Grand Concert at The Intercontinental Hotel and got inspired to finalize the song and shoot the Music Video at Jebel Sifah, one of several great destinations in Muscat.
Mbio is a “love gone wrong” song that explains the feelings of a man who is still in love with his woman, who has fallen out of love with him. Mbio has been directed by Kevin Bosco Jnr. Mbio takes us back to those times of Cinderella. Also the jam is done in Swahili and English.
Production
The setting is amazing. The beats are on point and the sound is great. The background of the video is attractive. The audio is in sync. Also the costume was well thought of during the production. The actions brought out in the video relate to the words spoken. In this case you can tell that the lady is not into Alikiba when she refuses to get the gift.
This is not a good sign and it clearly shows that the vixen is not in love. It is a good thing when the message of the song is well thought of during production. Generally the video has met international standards.
Lyrical Representation
The lyrics of this song depeict the true Alikiba. Damn! This bongo artist has a way with words. The feelings he has brought out are so clear that one is hurt. The title Mbio is clear through repetition. In the Chorus; “Mi siwezani bila wewe Mbio ooh ooh, mbio ooh oooh, mbio Moyo unadunda, moyo unadunda Mbio ooh ooh, mbio ooh oooh, mbio”. I can only imagine of the pain that the guy will endure without the person they love.
He goes ahead to question their love in this stanza; “Are we still dating? Mariela waky Ama ndio nimechokwa Ama umetekwa”. This shows that he already has that fear that the girl is not into him. In this song he depicts what the boy child goes through to find love but instead is rejected. “Nawaza nakufikiri Majibu sipatii Na moyo unachosha akili Kwa mapenzi ya ku fosi Kupenda pasipo dhamani Kwangu taabani sio sawa Ni bora unipe Moyo wangu niufiche”. In this two stanzas he says that he tired of forcing love that does not exist and only asks for his heart to take care of it. This means he walks away and thus the title “Mbio”.
I know by now you agree with me that Alikiba is the king of lyrics. The song is good and I give it a rating of 7/10.
Alikiba and his new wife are the newest parents in town. The two have welcomed their first born together just a few months after they walked down the aisle.
The Tanzanian singer who already has four kids; Amiya, Jamal, Sameer and Chamy has added yet another baby.
Although he is one who likes to keep his private life on the low, the singer couldn’t help but announce the birth of his new baby.
He shared the news through his Snapchat account where he shared two photos of the baby; but as expected he did not unveil the baby’s face.
Kiba’s new wife
Kiba seems to have to have relocated to Mombasa where his new wife lives. The two are believed to be close family friends with Mombasa’s governor Ali Hassan Joho.
His baby arrives a few days after Jamal Gadaffi’s wife welcome a healthy baby girl.
Alikiba’s father mzee Saleh Kiba has died, the deceased passed on while receiving treatment at Muhimbili National Hospital in Dar es Salaam.
Tanzanian media report that mzee Saleh died today Thursday 17th January. It’s however not clear what Alikiba’s father was suffering from.
Burial arrangement
Alikiba’s younger brother Abdu Kiba told Global Publishers that his late father will be buried later today in the evening according to Muslim tradition.
Abdu revealed that his father’s body had already been moved to their home in Kariakoo in preparation for the burial. The deceased will be laid to rest at Kisutu Muslim cemetery at around 4pm.
Tanzanian socialite Sasha Kassim has come out to brag how she has bagged a rich influential man who is spoiling her with nothing but the best this world has to offer.
Kassim, who was in the news last year for claiming Ali Kiba has been pestering her with pleas for sex, shared that a minister is head over heels in love with her and he just bought her a brand new Toyota Harrier that goes for roughly 4 million(2015).
Settling down
https://www.instagram.com/p/BgdLfhVlSc4/
Speaking to Tanzanian newspaper Wikienda, the controversial socialite claimed that the minister delivered the car to his doorstep.
She also said that the two might be getting married soon but all through the interview avoided naming the minister.
‘You know he is a minister and its not good to just expose him because he intends to marry me soon. I will reveal him soon because I hate this hiding stuff.” Sasha revealed.
It’s no the first time the curve socialite has promised she’s settling down. She has shared in the past several times that she’s about to get married but the plans end failing miserably.
Alikiba’s dream of becoming a professional footballer finally came to fruition after Coastal Union F.C. signed him for one season 2018/2019
Alikiba signed a non-payable one year contract with Coastal Union sometimes in June this year. The contract with Coastal Union does not bar him from doing his music or going on tours to perform.
Number 7 jersey
Coastal Union played its first game of the season on August 22nd but Alikiba didn’t play in that game. It took three months for the Coastal Union coach to field Alikiba for the club’s game.
The 31 year-old musician/player made his debut after missing 15 matches since the new season started. Kiba played for his club last Sunday December 9th donning the number 7 jersey (popular with Cristiano Ronaldo).
Coastal Union faced Mbeya City in a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. Below are photos of Alikiba in action for his club:

She is so understanding and I’m sure she has no fear and I love her so much. I have known her to be a respectful person and that is why we have not had drama for the eight months we have been married.”
Diamond Platnumz sought to end years of rivalry with Alikiba by inviting him to perform at the forthcoming Wasafi Festival set to be held in Kenya and Tanzania.
“Na kwa kudhihirisha kwamba hili ni Tamasha la Kwetu wote, Mpaka Kaka yangu @officialalikiba ningependa kumuona anashiriki katika @wasafifestival_. Lengo si kuonyesha nani mkubwa bali ni kuuleta Mziki wetu pamoja and huifanya dunia kuona kwamba , kumbe na sisi Tanzania tunaeza shikamana na kufanya vitu vikubwa,” wrote Diamond Platnumz.
Wasafi festival is set to kick off on November 24, 2018 in Mtwara, Tanzania. The show will then end in Mombasa and Nairobi on December 26 and 31st respectively.
Mockery
Alikiba took to social media to make a joke out of Diamond’s invitation for him to perform at Wasafi Festival. The ‘Seduce Me’ singer shared a meme of Mr. Bean with a message written ‘Thank you for listening to my presentation’. He further captioned the meme ‘Thank you’.
Alikiba is seen to be sending a coded message to Diamond, telling him that he didn’t ask for the invitation to perform at the forthcoming Wasafi Festival.
Bongo singer Barakah The Prince signed to Rockstar4000 in 2016 before he quit a year later. Rockstar4000 is the first Pan African 360 Music & Entertainment Company and Record Label.
In July 2017, Alikiba was confirmed as one of the co-owners of Rockstar4000 after working with the record label for six long years.
Barakah The Prince’s exit from Rockstar4000 in 2017 was not without drama, he accused Alikiba of sabotage saying that he deleted his songs from YouTube channel which was being managed by the label.
No reconciliation
In a recent interview with Millard Ayo, Barakah The Prince revealed that he reached out to Alikiba seeking a truce but the ‘Seduce Me’ hit maker gave him the cold shoulder.
Prince says that he has texted and called both Alikiba and his manager Seven Mosha but they ignored his calls and failed to reply to his texts.
“Nilishawahi kumtext nikamwambia brother kuna hichi na hichi na haya ni maisha na haya mambo ambayo yanayoendelea tuachane nayo tudeal na maisha mengine, mimi bado ni kijana nahitaji muongozo wao ili nifanikiwe. Hawakuwai kurespond,” Barakah The Prince said.
Kidoti Baby claims Alikiba slid into her DM to ask her for sexual favours only for him to bolted when she demanded for cash in return.
The Tanzanian singer-cum-socialite says that Alikiba was impressed with her twerk videos on Instagram and he decided to DM her.
“Alinifata kipindi kile napenda kujirekodi rekodi, nakata kata mauono nahisi alielewa game. Akaja DM mtoto sijui nini eeeh ati nimemvutia navyocheza na kuwa anapenda wanawake wenye matako makubwa…” said Kidoti in an interview with MidOne TV.
Stingy man
Kidoti Baby claims that she asked Alikiba to pay her Kes 88,200 (Tsh2 million) in return of the sexual favors he was desperately begging for.
The ‘Seduce Me’ hit maker however refused to pay a penny saying that he was famous and that he does not pay to get women he desires.
“Yule bahili sana kwenye kutoa hela. Jibu mimi nililompa nilimwambia kama anayo milioni mbili freshi, akaniambia mimi siwezi kutoa hela hiyo kwa mwanamke, mwanamke yeyote mimi nikimtaka nampata kiurahisi tu bila tatizo lolote. Alishindwa dau,” said Kidoti.
Tanzanian singer Alikiba raised eyebrows when he uploaded a new song dubbed ‘Hela’ on YouTube only to pull it down a few hours later.
The singer announced he had released the new song on Tuesday October 2nd and later posted it on the video platform only for it to be deleted later after some fans showed dissatisfaction.
Inappropriate day
Speaking during an interview with EATV, Alikiba explained that he pulled down the video because it wasn’t supposed to be uploaded online on Tuesday but rather on Thursday October 4th.
“Siku yenyewe haikuwa siku yangu ambayo napenda ku-release nyimbo, ilikuwa siku ya Jumanne, so tukamwambia jamaa autoe, inatakiwa siku kama ya leo Alhamisi, ndiyo maana ulikuta umetoka kwenye YouTube, ila sasa hivi ukiingia utaikuta,” said Alikiba.

Alikiba signed a non-payable one year contract with Coastal Union sometimes in June this year. The club played its first game of the season on August 22nd and Alikiba didn’t play, in fact he has never played for the club since he was signed.
Still analyzing the game
Alikiba’s contract with Coastal Union does not bar him from doing his music or going on tours to perform. Speaking during an interview with Spoti Xtra, Alikiba explained that he is yet to play for his club because he is still analyzing how the club plays.
“Ifahamike kuwa haina haraka ya mimi kucheza kwani mpira una njia na kanuni zake ambazo mtu unatakiwa uzijue. Ni lazima uzijue vizuri hizo na siyo unakurupuka na kuingia uwanjani, niko vizuri kabisa ila kwa sasa natafuta kuielewa timu kabla ya kuonekana uwanjani kwenye mechi zijazo za timu yangu,” said Alikiba.
Alikiba has joined the many people sending Ommy Dimpoz a happy birthday as he turns a year older.
Through his Instagram page, Alikiba dedicated a special message to Ommy Dimpoz encouraging him to stay stronger. He went on to talk about God being above any man and how he protects the weak ones from evil.
The message has however raised a few eyebrows here and there as fans now feel that the two artists know who poisoned Ommy.
Ali Kiba’s message
Anyway, it is indeed a blessing for Ommy to see yet another year in his life.
Alikiba’s dream of becoming a professional footballer finally come to fruition after Coastal Union F.C. signed him for one season 2018/2019.

The Bongo singer was away in Canada, for his ‘All Star Music Tour’ that started last Friday, when his club was playing their opening match of the season.
Alikiba has come out to blame some Tanzanian musicians for the deterioration of Bongo music. The singer claims Bongo flava has lost popular appeal.
Speaking during an interview on Nyundo ya Baruan show on Azam TV, Alikiba said that some musicians were responsible for the deterioration of Bongo music because of the quality of music they produce.
“Mwendo wa muziki wa Bongo Flava unakwenda vizuri ijapokuwa kuna watu wanachanganya tu muziki na wengine wanaaribu muziki na wengine wanakwenda nao vizuri lakini hiyo pia siwezi kuichambua kwa sababu kila mtu anakipaji chake. Wengine wanafanya kwa kujifurahisha na wengine wanafanya kwaajili ya maisha yao lakini muziki kidogo umepungua nguvu,” said Alikiba.
Awards
Kiba said he believes music awards are instrumental in improving the quality of music in Tanzania. He revealed that his company Mo Faya plans to start an award to recognize achievement in Bongo music industry.
“Ninaimani kwa sababu ya tuzo za Tanzania zilikuwa zinawahamasisha sana watu, wasanii walikuwa wakifanya kazi vizuri na kwa bidii anaamini kwamba siku moja ataitwa na atapewa heshima unajua tuzo ni heshima tu.
“Kwa hivyo changamoto kidogo imepungua, kasi imepungua ni kutokana na tuzo kwa vijana maana mtu anaweza kujitungia nyimbo yoyote ambayo haina kichwa wala miguu sababu hategemei chochote lakini pia kampuni yangu ya Mo Faya inamipango hiyo ya kuwahamasisha vijana kufanya tuzo baadae Insha allah,” said Kiba.
Diamond’s manger Sallam SK Mendez reveals that his boss’ beef with Alikiba is not real because the management representing the two singers meet on a regular basis.
Speaking during an interview on Times FM, Mendez says the beef was created by the management for the sole purpose of giving the two singers mileage.
“Kati ya Ali na Diamond hakunaga bifu, na haijawi kutokea, na uongozi wa Alikiba na WCB huwa tunakutana mara kwa mara kuzungumza. Bifu ilitengenezwa na sisi baada ya kuona watu wanapenda hivyo vitu tukavitumia kwaajili ya kupromote wimbo wetu,” said Sallam SK Mendez.
Drama at Chris Brown concert
Sometimes on October 8th 2016, Alikiba caused drama at Chris Brown concert in Mombasa. Kiba performed two songs and left the stage. He later blamed the subpar performance on Diamond’s manager.
In an interview with Mzazi Willy Tuva, Alikiba said he couldn’t continue performing because he spotted Diamond’s manager backstage while he was performing.
