Musician Sanaipei Tande recently addressed online rumors suggesting she is pregnant. In a YouTube interview on March 12th, she firmly denied these claims.

Sanaipei discussed her experiences with various rumors throughout her career. She acknowledged the initial challenges of navigating public scrutiny and learning to deal with fabricated stories.

“When I was 19, when I first came into the industry, I thought everything was black and white but then I learnt from being behind the scenes, that that oh my goodness, people just really create their own stuff.”

“They can fabricate a whole story. So back then there was a lot of fear. I thought everything was black and white. Then I come and figured out that people just create stories, or try and get you in a picture, in a compromising situation and then they blow up the whole thing.”

She emphasizes that with time, she has developed a thicker skin and understands the presence of negativity alongside positive media attention.

Sanaipei cites a recent instance where a random individual spread false information about her pregnancy online. She highlights the absurdity of such claims and the unnecessary focus on her physical appearance.

“And so now rumours don’t affect me. Say it. You say what you want. As recently as last week when I was impregnated by Twitter (now X).

What is that? Just a random chick decided to wake up and say Sanaipei is expecting. And then her body. That’s what she said. Everybody’s picked up on it and asking me is it true, is it not.”

She expresses her stance against engaging with cyberbullies and their attempts to spread misinformation.

Actress and singer Sanaipei Tande has expressed frustration at the lack of communication and delayed payment of her Kalasha Award prize money. Tande won the Best Lead Actress in a TV Drama award (Kina) at the 2022 ceremony, which came with a promised cash prize of Sh200,000 from Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba.

However, several months have passed and Tande has yet to receive the promised funds. She has also received no explanation or communication from either the Kenya Film Commission (KFC) or the Ministry of Sports, Culture, and Heritage led by CS Namwamba.

This lack of transparency and apparent disregard for existing talent raises concerns, especially considering the recent allocation of Sh167 million towards renovations at the Kenya National Theatre (KNT) aimed at nurturing new talent.

“1 year later, no prize money and no communication on the same from The Kenya Film Commission or Ababu Namwamba, but 167M set aside for #KNT renovations in bids to develop and nurture NEW talent! What about the existing talent?” Tande questioned publicly.

This issue highlights the disconnect between promises made and actions taken. Emerging talent deserves support, but neglecting existing award-winning individuals like Tande sets a discouraging precedent.

Originally, the minimum prize money for Kalasha Award winners was set at Sh100,000, but CS Namwamba had pledged to double this amount for the 2022 awards. However, this promise remains unfulfilled.

The KFC introduced the award scheme in 2019, disbursing a total of Sh1.7 million in prize money. It is unclear why there has been such a significant delay and lack of communication regarding Tande’s case.

While KNT undergoes renovations and aims to reopen in 2024, the question remains: how can existing talent be supported and encouraged if promises made to them are not kept? CS Ababu’s appointment of a new board for KNT and his stated goal of nurturing talent seem inconsistent with the current situation faced by Sanaipei Tande.

The government needs to address Tande’s concerns and ensure that promised rewards are delivered promptly and transparently. It is crucial to prioritize and support both existing and emerging talents to create a thriving arts and culture industry in Kenya.

Kenyan songstress Sanapei Tande faced financial adversity between 2015 and 2016 after losing her radio job. She turned to hosting karaoke events in Nairobi to make ends meet, but the reality was far from glamorous. She encountered mistreatment and even physical manhandling from customers, with some events concluding without payment for her services.

“I did it for a whole year in 2015-16, and I realized I could not sustain my lifestyle. I lived in Westlands in a 2-bedroom house, and it just wasn’t working out,”

Despite the challenges, Sanapei persevered for a year before making the difficult decision to move back to her parents’ house to regroup. One friend’s unsolicited advice to find a wealthy man to take care of her financial needs cut deep, but Sanapei refused to give up on her dreams.

“I remember sharing my decision with my friends, and one said, ‘You are going backward in life. Why don’t you find someone to pay your rent and bills?’ I was offended, it was painful, especially when you are expecting to get support,” 

With unwavering determination, Sanapei rebuilt her life and career. She is now a successful musician and has even built her own house. Her recent loss of her father, Manasseh Lemaiyian, who was a unwavering source of support throughout her musical journey, has been a difficult setback. However, Sanapei’s resilience and strength are undeniable, and she continues to inspire others with her story.

Kenyan musician, actress, and media personality, Sanaipei Tande, is grieving the loss of her father, Manasseh Lemaiyian Tande, who passed away on Friday, October 13, following a brief illness.

Sanaipei’s father was known for his strength and resilience, leaving an indelible mark on the lives of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He was a diligent, hardworking, and honest man who taught his daughter the importance of truth.

Mr Tande is survived by his wife, Lucy, Sanaipei’s brother, Saimi, and two grandchildren. He will be laid to rest on Thursday, October 19, at the family’s residence in Matasia, Kajiado County.

Sanaipei Tande has yet to publicly comment on her father’s passing, but she has previously spoken about her close-knit family, which has been a significant support system throughout her life.

Kenyan singer and actress Sanaipei Tande has shared her thoughts on the importance of financial independence, respect, and monogamy in relationships.

In a candid interview with Oga Obinna, Tande said that she believes it is essential for individuals, particularly women, to have their own source of income. She cited examples of couples who have separated, leaving one partner struggling to support themselves financially because they were dependent on their spouse.

“We have seen how many people are splitting and finding themselves in situations where they now can’t cater for themselves,” Tande said. “You must have something for yourself.”

Tande also acknowledged the uncertainties of the future, raising the question of what would happen if a partner were to pass away unexpectedly, leaving financial matters in disarray.

“Even if he tells you that he will take care of you with everything, you never know about tomorrow,” she said. “What if he dies and things were not in order? What will you do? Let’s face it, sometimes even the family takes everything from him after he is gone. You must always have something of your own.”

On the topic of polygamy, Tande said that she would not allow her partner to have a second wife. She acknowledged that such situations often occur, regardless of permission, and highlighted the emotional complexities involved.

“Don’t they cheat always? If you allow or not, some will just do,” she said. “It depends on the dynamics of the relationship and the individuals involved.”

Regarding the possibility of dating multiple men, Tande admitted uncertainty, suggesting that it ultimately depends on the depth of love and the unique circumstances of the relationship.

“I don’t know,” she said. “It depends on how much you love each other and how much you are willing to share.”

Tande emphasized the importance of respect within relationships, regardless of the arrangement.

“You have to respect each other,” she said. “You have to be honest with each other. And you have to be willing to compromise.”

Tande’s views on marriage, polygamy, and financial independence are sure to spark debate. However, her message of self-empowerment and respect is one that is worth considering.

Still rediscovering herself

“I think I just decided to figure out who I am. I was in a relationship for 5 years and when I got out didn’t know who I was. I didn’t know where I was going or what I wanted. I dated Manga for 5 years. And when I got out of it I was like ‘Sana you need to figure out where your life is going, who you want to be and the kind of things you want in your life,” said Sanaipei.

I would love to have a baby

Sanaipei says that at times she feels lonely and that she would love to have a baby and a family of her own. The ‘Amina’ hit maker however states that she does not necessarily needs a man to have a baby.

The 32-year-old singer explains that she will resort to other means if she doesn’t find the kind of man she needs to start a family with. She insists that she must have a baby with or without a man because her biological clock is ticking.

“I would love to have a family, have somebody to take care of because. Let’s be honest about it, as a woman when we get past the age of 30, you start to feel a sense of loneliness and there is a lack of meaning to your life because there is nobody to live for, nobody to do things for. I look forward to that,” said Sanaa.
