“At one point, I was seeking new management, so I approached the most renowned manager in Tanzania,” Mdee began.

“I expressed my interest in being managed by him and his team, and he responded by saying, ‘If you join our management, you must be aware that we practice occultism, including witchcraft and black magic. Before releasing any music, we perform certain rituals.’”

Taken aback by this revelation, Mdee questioned the manager’s practices and their alignment with her Christian beliefs.

“Do you not believe in God’s sufficiency?” she inquired. The manager’s response was, “We do, but this is also a part of our culture, and we incorporate it into our work.”

Resolute in her faith, Mdee opted against joining the management team.

“I didn’t pursue the conversation further. I credit my parents for instilling a reverence for God in me from an early age because I wasn’t willing to compromise my faith,” she affirmed.

This disclosure adds to Mdee’s previous remarks about the music industry.

In 2020, Vanessa described the industry as “demonic” and attributed it to leading her astray. On her podcast Deep Dive, the mother of two elaborated on her decision to exit the music scene.

“I chose to leave the industry because I needed to prioritize my life. The music industry is rife with demonic influences,” Vanessa asserted. “Now, my fans may be wondering, ‘Will you never sing again? Will we never see you perform?’ Let me clarify. I adore music, I cherish creating it, and I love performing. I am a vessel. This is my calling, but perhaps I was meant to go through my experiences to share with you the unfiltered truth about things you may not hear elsewhere.”

Vanessa Mdee has shared a personal journey of transformation – leaving behind alcohol and finding peace through faith. After revealing her four years of sobriety, she took to TikTok to explain her reasons.

Mdee described a period of heavy drinking to cope with stress and depression in the demanding world of entertainment.

“I was a functional alcoholic,” she admitted, highlighting the outward success that masked an unhealthy reliance on alcohol. However, by 2018, her nightly dependence had become unmanageable.

A turning point came through faith.

“As I got closer to God, the Holy Spirit convicted me to stop drinking,” she shared. This spiritual guidance, coupled with a personal trauma, prompted her decision to quit alcohol for good.

Mdee, now residing in the U.S. with her fiancé Rotimi and their two children, has openly embraced Christianity. In a previous TikTok video, she declared accepting Christ as her savior her best decision ever.

“I was at my peak professionally, loved by fans, but deeply unhappy,” she recalled. “Something needed to change. I surrendered to God and found healing and peace.”

Mdee’s story speaks to the challenges of coping with pressure and the pursuit of true happiness beyond external validation. Her choice to share her journey candidly can inspire others facing similar struggles, offering hope and a message of faith-driven transformation.

Tanzanian singer Vanessa Mdee has taken to social media to encourage her followers to be kind to others. In a post, she said that healing is a daily process and that small progress is still progress.

Mdee’s post is a reminder that we should all be mindful of the people around us. We never know what someone else is going through, so it is important to be kind and compassionate. Even small acts of kindness can make a big difference in someone’s life.

Despite her challenges, Mdee has always been an advocate for kindness and compassion. She believes that these qualities are essential for creating a better world.

In her post, Mdee quoted a passage from the Bible that says, “My grace is all you need, my power works best in weakness.” This passage is a reminder that we are all capable of overcoming our challenges with God’s help.
