Tanasha Donna, the mother of the youngest son of singer Diamond Platnumz, has defended herself following a story that Edgar Obare shared about the money laundering ring in Kenya. One of the contributors on Edgar Obare's platform mentioned her as one of the beneficiaries. The contributor who claims to have dated one of the launderers, the late businessman Kevin Omwenga alleged he was the one who bought for Tanasha her blue BMW. However, Tanasha dismissed the claims of her involvement in fraudulent activities through a statement that she released on her Insta-stories.  The songbird expressed her displeasure and stated that she acquired all her possessions through effort and hard work. She added that those spreading the fake rumors are doing it for attention.   ‘I’m not one to address things but yo! All these false rumors be getting out of control. How does someone wake up one day and decide to fabricate a fake story just for attention? I work hard and very har...

Vera Sidika recently called out a friend for sending her an outdated news piece about her clash with comedian Akuku Danger after her gender reveal. It seems like her rants about the situation did not turn out well because last night, she took to her Insta-stories to explain herself and blast those calling her petty. Vera said that she did not get angry at her friend for not greeting her. She revealed that she blasted him because he never checks up on her but constantly sends false news stories about her.     She added that she keeps her distance from negative associates and does not entertain them. She also promised to block whoever was mocking her about the situation.  ‘I see people in my DM saying I’m petty for blocking someone because he didn’t say good morning. Na hao pia wamekula block instantly. People are mad crazy. I don’t block people for not saying good morning, could care less. The first thing my husband does every day of his life when he ...

Boniface Mwangi, an activist and photographer this morning, reacted to Edgar Obare’s recent expose on fraud and the deactivation of his Instagram account. Boniface said that Edgar Obare did not do wrong by posting stories shared by citizens who are aware of the criminal activities in Kenya.  He added that criminals in Kenya often walk away unpunished because Kenyans have a habit of defending them and insulting those who speak the truth.    ‘Good morning, I have something small to say and it is about Edgar Obare and his account being deactivated. We live in a country that punishes those who speak the truth, we live in a country that punished those who seek justice. We live in a country where we call activists names, even journalists and people who write the truth, they get punished' 'But they don’t punish criminals, it’s a big shame. Kenyans remind me of the Israelites, when Jesus was caught and they had a choice between Barnabas and Jesus Christ and yo...

Inaonekana kama mchezo wa kuigiza katika kaya ya Mpiga Picha wa Diamond Platnumz Lukamba hauzimii hivi karibuni. Mwana wa Lukamba hivi karibuni alitimiza miaka minne na katika siku yake ya kuzaliwa, Ceccy mpenzi wake mpya, alishiriki picha yake kwenye Instagram yake ikiambatana na ujumbe wa siku ya kuzaliwa. 'Labda hatutakuwa wazazi kamili, lakini tuna bahati ya kuwa na mtoto mkamilifu. Heri ya kuzaliwa, mwana ' Aliandika. Ujumbe wake haukumpendeza Shuu, mke wa kwanza wa mpiga picha na mama wa mtoto. Shuu alimshambulia Ceccy na kumtaka afute picha ya mtoto wake. Aliuliza pia ikiwa Ceccy anajua ni pesa ngapi alitumia kumvika mtoto wake mavazi na kuajiri mpiga picha. Aliwataka wote wawili Ceccy na Lukamba kuacha kutumia kiki kwa mtoto wake. 'Futa picha ya mwanagu dada, tena ukomee komaaa narudia tena komaa. Sio wewe wala bwanako anajua hizo nguo nani kanunua! Hizo picha nani kalipia, komeni kutafuta kiki kwa huyo mtoto’  Shuu wrote. Licha ya kuzuka k...

It seems like the drama in the household of Diamond Platnumz's Photographer Lukamba is not simmering down anytime soon.   Lukamba's son recently turned four years old and on his birthday, Ceccy his new girlfriend, shared his photo on her Instagram accompanied by a birthday message.   'We might not be perfect parents, but we are lucky to have a perfect son. Happy birthday, son'  She wrote. Her post did not please Shuu, the first wife of the photographer and the mother of the child.   Shuu attacked Ceccy and asked her to delete the photo of her son. She also questioned whether Ceccy knew how much she spent on clothing her son and hiring a photographer. She also asked both Ceccy and Lukamba to stop using her son for clout.   'Futa picha ya mwanagu dada, tena ukomee komaaa narudia tena komaa. Sio wewe wala bwanako anajua hizo nguo nani kanunua! Hizo picha nani kalipia, komeni kutafuta kiki kwa huyo mtoto’   Shuu wrote. De...
