Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Like the norm, the paparazzi were set and the two first answered to the audience about their recent personal and music life.

Her music journey

During the interview, with Ayo TV, the bongo songstress shares:

Well kwenye swala la album hamna kitu kirahisi.

Na album inakuwaga inaandaliwa kwa mda mrefu.

So, ata hapa tumefika saa hivi, nyuso zetu zinaonyesha tuna furaha.

Lakini tuna uoga kwa sababu sio kitu kidogo tunachoenda kufanya humo ndani.

However, why did the young beauty opt for Nairobi and probably not Kampala?

Because, Nairobi ni second home yangu.

Nandy´s expectations from her album launch include:

Nachokitarajia hasa apa ni uwepo wa watu kwa wingi.

Sijaingia ndani nikajua lakini naamini watu wa Nairobi, Kenya, wamekuja kunisupport kwa hali ya juu.

Kwa sababu naamini tuna mafans wengi sana.

The ¨Njiwa¨ singer then adds that the two do challenge each other pretty much, when one is faulty, they say it and when one´s done their best, they express that too.

Nikiwa na nyimbo, akiwa na nyimbo pia, tunatumiana.

Hatuogopani.

On stage

The reception in terms of numbers was quite humbling for the youthful artist and so did the cheer from fans applauding her and her adored love-themed music.

The on-stage launch kicked off with Kenya´s Willy Paul flexing his dance styles.

Fans went into a frenzy with the angelic, sweet female voice coming through the mic, let us not mention her sultry moves on stage, with her eye-catchy attire.

In red pumps, blue mid-thigh dress and yellow earrings, the beauty sings to her jams, dancing along to them, freely moving on stage.

Left and right, she moved her hips, waist and feet in place.

Down to earth, she graced the glass platform, mic in hand and bongo high-pitched voice in tune.

Her energy on stage was definitely impressive.

The instrumentalists neither let her fiery launch down.

It was definitely all love for the glamorous African beauty with lights flashing across the platform and cameras on set.

Songs she performed include Ninogeshe, Aibu, Hallelujah, Hazipo and much more.

¨The African Princess¨ album launch was held at Golden Ice Bistro in Kenya´s capital.

Celebrities and artists also in attendance were: Prezzo, Naiboi, DJ Shiti, Gabu, Hassan Mugambi, Masauti, Rashid Abdalla, Chris Kirwa among others.

Chris Kirwa was behind the steering wheel in ensuring the successful launch of Nandy´s album, as their host and event manager.

To ice it all up, Nandy´s cousin and Dogo Janja purchased her album at exclusive prices, making her way overwhelmed by the extra love.

She comes third after Vanessa Mdee and Diamond Platinumz who previously graced the Kenyan soil to launch their albums.

Congratulations to the beauty!

It´s now a sibling-affair. Willy Paul dismisses claims about love affair with Nandy

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Controversial ´Hallellujah´ hitmaker, Willy Paul dismisses claims that he is in a love affair with fellow female artist, Nandy from Tanzania.

´Hallelujah´ artists: Willy paul and Nandy

According to the gospel-cum-secular artist:

Nandy is my older sister, whom I respect so much.

This comes in shortly after the controversial Kenyan artist was compelled to explain the message in his most recent release with Nandy, ´Hallellujah´.

In response, according to Willy Paul, the song is just a ´love song´ and being an artist, he ought to sing:

It´s not a gospel song but ni Love song.

Alafu you know mimi ni artiste naruhusiwa kuimba.

Having a gospel-themed title, ¨Hallellujah´s¨ video depicted something completely different, with the two artists, getting too close for the gospel industry.

This has brought confusion among Willy Paul´s fans and followers who want him to clarify which path he is actually following: Gospel or Secular?

This is the second collabo between the two, after previous controversial song, ´Njiwa´.

Additionally, Willy Paul feels that his fans are losing too much energy raising their eyebrows because, he says this is just but the tip of an iceberg:

Unajua kwanza nikifanya na Rayvvanny watu walishangaa sana.

Nimefanya na Nandy pia wameshangaa.

Sasa jua wameshangaa ya kutosha sijui next project watafanya nini sasa.

Willy Paul however announced that he is in the process of signing in two male artistes under his record label, ´Saldido´.

He however declined to respond to the consistent attacks he has been receiving lately from fellow controversial gospel artist, Ringtone.

Willy Paul finally reveals whether ‘Halleluyah’ is a gospel song

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Controversial singer Willy Paul recently dropped a new song dubbed Hallelujah; however looking at the video it’s quite hard to tell whether this is really a gospel song.

Well, for sometime now Willy Paul has been releasing confusing songs and for a minute fans started assuming he had officially shifted to making secular music.

His latest song Halleluyah has also left many wondering where to categorize it. However thanks to an recent interview where he was asked;

“Watu wengine wamezungumzia nyimbo yako ya Halleluyah featuring Nandy kuwa Jina pekee ndo gospel hili unasema aje?

Willy Paul responds

He then went ahead to explain that this is a love song by saying;

“It’s not a gospel song, but ni Love song, alafu you know mimi ni artiste naruhusiwa kuimba, unajua kwanza nikifanya na Rayvvany watu walishangaa sana, nimefanya na Nandy pia wameshangaa, sasa jua wameshangaa ya kutosha sijui next project watafanya nini sasa”.

 

This is however not the first time the controversial artist is showing sings of shifting to the secular side.

So far he has worked with a few secular artists including those signed under Wasafi records and probably soon he will announce his retirement from making gospel singer.

Wambui Katee, the beautiful voice behind viral song covers (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

Wambui Katee’s cover of Patoranking’s Suh Different went viral late last year. At the time of publishing this article, the song had 457,132 views on YouTube. That’s no mean feat!

But this does not come as a surprise, the cover was meant to gain traction from the get go. Everything was executed above par. From the instruments, the arrangement, down to her vocals. Nothing was out of place.

Her rendition was so good so much so that many people felt that it was way better than the original. And I agree, this is one of those few cases when a cover is better than the original.

The song’s success has made Wambui more aggressive in doing covers. In the last few months, she has uploaded covers of various songs including; Najua Hutaniacha by Makena, Hazipo by Nandy, Toast by Koffee among others.

All her covers are so well-executed. I’d dare say that she is the Kenyan queen of song covers. I’m sure you are noding your head in agreement.

A few days ago, she uploaded a cover of Harmonize’s Kainama and, as expected, Wambui’s rendition was so good that I had to hit the replay button a couple of times.

Watch it below and tell us what you think.

Willy Copy! Willy Paul’s new song ‘Alkaida’ angers fans more than ‘Sikireti’ did, copied from singer Nandy

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Willy Paul is really getting good at annoying fans. Fans believe also his music is getting worse.

Days after the singer flew all the way to Jamaica to collabo with singer Cecile for “Sikireti” which ended up angering Kenyans to an unbelievable levels, the singer has released yet another song dubbed “Alkaida” which has brought out mixed emotions.

Copied

The song, which has a totally different style from what Willy Paul fans are used to, doesn’t sound gospel at all but that doesn’t shock us at all. Again, the beat of the song has been lifted from Tanzanian singer Nandy’s song “Aibu” which was released a few months ago.

It’s the second time Willy Paul has “copied”..or should we say “stolen”, a song from another artist in just three months. The singer was also accused of stealing “Bora Uhai” in November.

Fans believe he’s running out of ideas a reason why he has been copying and repeating old songs so much lately.

Listen to the new song below:


james.lukes

For real pozee ,if I was u I could just turn to secular and accept that, u can’t worship God and still Bragg how good u are than secular artist, where even compare yourself to diamond platinumz, am telling because God doesn’t like hypocrites and pretenders

Tanzanian singer Nandy reveals that collabo with Pozze was her idea, says men derail women’s career 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Tanzanian singer Nandy, who made a name in Kenya after her collabo with Willy Paul dubbed “Njiwa” has revealed that the song was her idea and it all started after he bumped into the singer.

“I met Willy Paul when I came for a media tour here in Kenya for my song ninogeshe. He had a conversation with my manager before so when i came, it was the right time. He gave me a song from his studio and I told him that he had to change so I gave him a song. So we did njiwa, he loved it and then we shot it,” she said. 

The singer also opened up of how men tend to derail women in their careers when making advances on them. According to the singer, all female musicians meet with hungry men or are always asked to dish out their cookies in exchange of support.

“Women go through a lot of hell in the hands of men who want to have something with them before extending help and support. Most women find themselves giving in because they need help from these male counterparts.” she said.

Character

Nandy, who was recently in Kenya for Coke Studio Africa, then added that a woman’s character comes into play during such trying times because no one is ever forced into such deals.

“It depends with a woman herself, if you really want it or not because at the end of the day, no one will force you, although they will put the offer on the table. Most female musicians do it because they are desperate and want to be famous overnight.” she added. 

Willy Paul sets the record straight about dating Nandy

Posted on by Martin Oduor

Willy Paul has always flirted with female musicians he collaborated with. He made everyone believe he was dating Alaine before they dropped ‘I Do’ hit song.

The controversial gospel singer did the same thing with Nandy when worked together. The duo dropped ‘Njiwa’ which is the most successful collabo Pozzee has ever done. The song has garnered 6.6 million views on YouTube in just five months.

Brother and sister

Willy Paul opened up about his relationship with Nandy during an interview on Citizen TV’s 10 Over 10 last Friday November 16th.

He dismissed claims that he was dating the Bongo songstress, Pozzee described his relationship with Nandy as a brother/sister kinda of relationship.

“Kuna a group of people that walikuwa wananizuia kuingia Tanzania but then God akaleta Nandy through na tukafanya song. Sahii inaelekea 10 million views so tunashukuru mungu sana kwa Njiwa. Other than that, hakuna kitu inaendelea kati yangu na yeye. Mimi na yeye ni kama ndugu na dada,” said Willy Paul.

 

Popular sassy singer apologizes after an intimate video with ex boyfriend emerges online

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Tanzanian singer Nandy has left many talking after a video with her ex boyfriend Billnass emerged online. Well, judging from the videos content it’s obvious to see that this was 18+ rated.

Anyway apparently the video was taken back in 2016 when the two were together. Not many knew about their relationship since they opted to keep it on the low until just recently when the video emerged.

video leaked

According to the two parties, they are not aware of how the video landed on social media. The guy who also happens to be a big Tanzanian artist went on to say that the video was taken by Nandy using her phone which he had no access to.

Nandy on the other hand has been left confused; however she has issued an apology to fans and Tanzanian government for the inappropriate clip. She wrote saying;
