Music Journey
“My first passion has always been music,” Claudia shares. She is currently working with a vocal coach to refine her skills, which explains the delay in releasing new music. She notes, “Releasing Shake was important so I could have a reference when I say I’m a singer.”

Preparation for Gigs
Claudia tailors her approach depending on the type of event. For concerts, she collaborates with dancers and stylists to create choreography and a bold stage presence. “On stage, you’ll always see me in heels, dancing, jumping—it’s part of my branding.” Corporate events, on the other hand, require a more tailored approach, aligning her outfit and demeanor with the client’s brief and audience profile.

Industry Insights
Claudia has experienced both the positive and negative sides of the entertainment world. “There are bad people—monitoring spirits and wicked individuals trying to limit my success,” she reveals. Despite this, she acknowledges the support of allies like comedian Butita, who has guided and protected her in the industry.

Personal Life and Priorities
Her team now consists primarily of family members after she distanced herself from close friends. “When you grow, things change. My team understands why we do what we do, so I don’t have to explain my unavailability.” She still lives with her mother, avoiding the pressure of bills and responsibilities for now.

Branding and Image
For Claudia, appearances matter greatly. She often spends significant amounts on her outfits to maintain her branding, even for non-monetary awards. “It’s about positioning myself,” she says.

Finally, she emphasizes her confidence and independence: “I don’t slide into people’s DMs—especially men. Why would I? I’m a babe and a superstar.”

Claudia Naisabwa Shares How Butita Shielded Her from Predatory Advances

MC and presenter Claudia Naisabwa has expressed heartfelt gratitude to her former boss, comedian Eddie Butita, for shielding her from predatory advances by male celebrities and industry figures during her early days in Kenya’s entertainment scene.

Claudia revealed that she was just 19 and still a student when she landed her first presenter role at SPM Buzz, an entertainment platform owned by Butita. At the time, she admits she was inexperienced and unfamiliar with the dynamics of the industry. However, Butita provided invaluable mentorship and guidance, particularly regarding her interactions within the entertainment space.

She credits Butita’s support for helping her avoid falling victim to predatory behaviors. “There are a lot of challenges in the entertainment industry, especially for young girls like me. There is the good and the bad, and I can assure you there are wicked people everywhere. Some people in the industry have tried to hinder my growth and success,” the 22-year-old shared.

Claudia also emphasized that amidst the challenges, there are genuine individuals who offer protection and guidance, with Butita being one of them. “Butita has protected me from so much. He became not just a boss but also a great mentor and friend. Whenever someone made a pass at me, I’d confide in him, and he would advise me about that person. He helped me see beyond appearances because, oftentimes, people aren’t who they seem to be,” she explained.

Reflecting on her early experiences, Claudia noted how much she valued Butita’s advice. “At 19, I was naive. I only knew these people from social media and admired their content, but I didn’t know them beyond what they presented. Butita, having been in the industry for years, understood these individuals at a deeper level as a seasoned mainstream artist.”

Even today, if someone approaches me or I’m dating someone, Butita knows. He keeps all my secrets—he’s someone I can trust completely.”

TV host Claudia Naisabwa has firmly dismissed rumors about dating a former Cabinet Secretary (CS). The speculation began last year after her appointment to the Talanta Hela Committee, made by the former Sports CS. In an interview on the Morning Kiss with Kwambox and Kerry Martin, Naisabwa clarified that she is currently single, stating, “I am not dating anybody; I am very single. In this life, I don’t want stress.”

When asked about her relationship with the CS, she explained, “The CS and I had a professional relationship. He appreciated my work as a creative, and I had requested a meeting to showcase my work, which led to my appointment. I reached out to him to look for work. That’s how I know the CS. There’s no truth to those rumors, and I don’t understand why people like to mix things up.”

The Talanta Hela initiative was later disbanded by the court, although Sports Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba had begun implementing the program by appointing members to the Council for a three-year term. Talanta Hela was established through Kenya Gazette Notice No. 1649 (Vol. CXXV No. 32) by the President in February of this year and includes two technical committees, one for sports and another for creatives. Among the appointed members were Carol Radull and Daniel Ndambuki, also known as Churchill.
