Posted on by Elizabeth Musyimi

Kenyan actress Serah Teshna and her partner Victor Wanyama welcomed their child last year.

Most fans also came to learn about her pregnancy when she posted on social media.

“It was just an intimate moment between my man and me and we just wanted to share the journey by ourselves.”

She also said that she didn’t want the noise from outside on what to do as a new mother.

“There are so many things I didn’t know as a mum-to-be. There are also expectations from people telling you, ‘Do this, do that,'” she said.

Teshna also revealed that they welcomed a son and dedicated her new Showmaz thriller series ‘Igiza’ to him

“I was excited about both roles and coming to realize I needed to put more extra work kept me going,” she said, adding that having amazing directors and casts on the set helped her execute the roles so well.”

“The dual roles made me watch different shows from different countries since I needed to be natural while playing the two roles.”

The thriller is set against the backdrop of Nairobi’s fashion industry and the money laundering business, ‘Igiza’ is a story of revenge between twin sisters Linda and Nicole.

Twelve years into serving time, Nicole breaks out of prison and takes the place of her identical twin sister Linda, who framed her.

She is now managing to balance work and motherhood.

“Motherhood comes with so much pressure.”

“I was taken through the script and my roles but I was not sure I was going to do it since my attachment with my son is on another level.”

‘Igiza’ is set to premiere on Showmax next week on Monday.

Why Meghan Fox is not able to remove MGK’s engagement ring from finger

Posted on by Elizabeth Musyimi

Machine Gun Kelly says the ring he engaged Meghan Fox with has thorns, which will make Fox feel pain if she removes it.

In an interview with Vogue, MGK said;

“Of the ring itself is a thoroughbred Colombian emerald, with no treatment. It was just carved into the teardrop, straight out of the mine. And the diamond was directly from Stephen. The concept is that the ring can come apart to make two rings.”

“When it’s together, it’s held in place by a magnet. So you see how it snaps together? And then it forms an obscure heart. And you see this right here? The bands are actually thorns. So if she tries to take it off, it hurts…”

“Love is pain!” He said

MGK said he released the footage of the engagement to control the narrative.

“As opposed to someone just catching a weird cell phone picture of a ring on our hand and being like, whoa! But yeah, I didn’t expect it. I just recorded it on my cell phone. And it wasn’t like we had photographers or anything. It was just like me setting my phone against a cup.”

In his engagement post, Kelly described the meaning of the place he made the engagement to the meaning of the ring leaving out information about the thorn.

‘…In this life and every life’ beneath the same branches we fell in love under, i brought her back to ask her to marry me. i know tradition is one ring, but i designed it with Stephen Webster to be two: the emerald (her birth stone) and the diamond (my birth stone) set on two magnetic bands of thorns that draw together as two halves of the same soul forming the obscure heart that is our love.”

Diamond’s brother Romy Jones has now shared a video of the singer saying that he is lonely. He also asked whether they are still together.

“MDOGO WANGU KIPENZI AKIWA ZAKE MPWEKE NCHINI NAIJERIA. SIJUI ATALETEWA LINI TENA MABUTI NA MPENZI WAKE AU SIJUI WAMESHAFARAKANA” (My younger brother is lonely in Nigeria. I don’t know when he’s going to be given another pair of shoes. I don’t even know whether they are together or have already split.)

The media personality’s father, Peter Raburu was a Provincial Commissioner. In a past interview, Raburu remembered growing up with a tough father.

“We were suspended (from school) for two weeks. In my head, I couldn’t imagine going home to my father. A teacher told my father, he sent a Land Rover 110 with two police officers.” He told MC Jessy

“I sat like an inmate, in between two officers as I went home. I was scared and I was also the Organizing Secretary of the Christian Union,”

He went on to give credit to his dad;

“What my dad has helped me with is two things; work ethic and spirituality. My dad used to wake up, actually still wakes up, every day from 3.30 am-4.00 am. You hear him praying, and he prays loudly so you can hear what he’s praying for,”

Jose Chameleone supports Eric Omondi in music industry debate

Posted on by Elizabeth Musyimi
Jose Chameleone has shown his support to Eric Omondi after the comedian stirred a music industry debate asking Kenyan creatives to wake up.
The comedian sent a message on Instagram describing how the ‘Tubonge’ hitmaker refused to perform at a Ugandan event where Nigerian star Wizkid was headlining;
“In 2017 Jose Chameleon refused to perform in a Heavily Advertised Concert in Kampala after a Billboard in Kampala City had a HUGE Wizkid Image and a Tiny Image of Chameleon beside Wizkid. It’s called Subliminal Messaging!!!” wrote Omondi

“Such attitude is very demeaning and disrespectful towards the players who keep the industry flourishing to be placed as underdogs before their own.

I can guarantee to you such a manner happens only in this region where the host artists are only used as bait to submit their fans.

If you are drawn as small on an advertisement that to me means you are better off staying home or in-studio to do your work than being misused.

Well, I hope your message reaches out to the concerned. It’s such a pity that greedy fellas are rooted in our darling industry without passion. Bless you, bro.”

This debate came after comedian Eric Omondi termed the Kenyan entertainment industry as dead. His sentiments have received reactions from artists among them Femi One, Jua Cali, Bien, Savara among others.

Eric Omondi exposed as deadbeat, he responds

Posted on by Elizabeth Musyimi
Eric Omondi says he has impregnated former Saldido signee Miss P. But fans aren’t having it as many believe that this might just be another stunt.

Omondi shared a photo that showed him holding Miss P’s “Baby Bump” and wrote’

“I met this Beautiful Woman 5 months ago in an event I was hosting. Whatever happened and I promised her I would take every Responsibility.

Children are a blessing from God,”

Media personality Jacque Maribe who sired a son with Omondi took a jab at the comedian;

“Responsibility? @catewamaribe come I can’t speak.  7 years of responsibility?”

Jacque’s sister Cate went ahead to reveal that he (Eric) tried to call Maribe, while live on air.

“Eric Omondi, now you have been exposed you are calling my sister while live on air thinking she will play along,” she wrote in part.

She added;

“Umemuanika kama nguo baridi kwa fence ya sengenge (you’ve aired him on a clothesline to dry)…good job, mama. Do not use our baby to chase clout.

Baba ni ule analea si sperm donor (fathers are responsible ones, not just sperm donors). PS bado nangojea umalize kupark gari unitumie fees ya mtoto wako (I’m still waiting for you to park your car and send your son’s school fees), oh sorry, was that last year?”

Sauti Sol’s Polycarp drops wisdom about fatherhood

Posted on by Elizabeth Musyimi
Music producer and composer Polycarp Otieno, aka Fancy Fingers, has released his debut solo single, ‘How I Met Your Mama’, which is off his album ‘Father Studies’

In a statement, the Sauti Sol member said, “The song is a fusion of Kenyan and Burundian sounds and optics to show my son his roots. Because that is part of his identity.”

Adding, “We need to tell African stories to our young ones. I chose to start from how I met my son’s mother, my wife. Conversations with my friends also proved that most of us don’t know the full story of how our parents met.”

Fancy Fingers press pic 1

The music video features cameos by his wife Lady Mandy, their son Sulwe and the celebrated Burundian drums, Ingoma.

This marks the start of his individual journey as a solo entertainer and singer. Written, sung and produced by Fancy Fingers, the new single is a heartfelt dedication to his son and a real life story, relaying how his Papa (Fancy Fingers) met his Mama.

The poetic single is an enticing entrée into Fancy Fingers’ 10-track upcoming body of work. He reveals that;

“Father Studies’ is a concept came to me after the birth of my son, while I was on paternity leave. I realized just how being  fully present was impactful to my small family, it gave me the chance to develop a special bond with my son,” adding, “ It’s sad that the Kenyan law only gives two weeks leave to the father, leaving the chunk of the parenting to the mother, which should not be the case.”

Fancy Finger press pic 2

The album is more than a reflection of the life and times of an African father from different viewpoints. It’s Fancy Fingers’ way of breaking stereotypes and an intersection of his strong belief in pan Africanism, intentional fatherhood/ parenting and wellness. He says,

“My hope is to inspire young African Fathers to understand that dad is destiny. Your presence physically, but more so emotionally is what your child needs to be the best they can be in life.”

Posted on by Elizabeth Musyimi
Gospel singer Rose Muhando has slammed a social media user using a fake account to slam other social media users.

The ‘Yesu Nakupenda’ hitmaker warned fans against the fake user, ‘Rosee Muhando’, on TikTok, clarifying that her social media handles are ‘Malkia Rose Muhando’.

“Hii ndio akaunti yangu ya TikTok. Puuzieni hizo akaunti zingine zinazosambaza taarifa za ovyo nakudai kwamba ni mimi. Nawaomba sana mpuuzie taarifa yoyote itakayotolewa na akaunt ingine tofauti na hii yangu. Ahsanteni sana na mbarikiwe sana.”

This comes after the fake account shared a video of Pastor T, who was talking about how Muhando lost her star.

The account wrote “Huyu Pastor na alaaniwe, ameninenea vibaya sana,” Rose Muhando wrote.

In the viral video, Mr T was giving a sermon on Rose Muhando’s failure after signing a deal with a record label.

“They signed contracts but they did not know they signed life. There is a gospel artiste from TZ who was signed by Sony. She was big, now she is trying to come back, it is difficult.”

Adding, “She has been through all kinds of deliverance but nothing. She had started a music revival in Tanzania, she signed a deal with Sony Records and she went silent. She is trying to come back, but we do not recognise her.”

“She thought it was a deal of fame but it was her destiny being held. And at the time she was at the top of the charts,” Mr T said.

The preacher, who was known by his music stage name Mr T, now identifies himself as Pastor T Mwangi.

He has been giving hard-hitting and controversial sermons in his church.

Kenya is home to numerous breathtaking natural wonders such as the Rift Valley, Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru National Park, and Hells Gate National Park.

The Most Popular Online Slots Among Kenyan Players

Kenya was one of the very first African countries to legalize casino games and various forms of betting. More specifically, gambling activities were legalized with the introduction of the Betting, Lotteries, and Gaming Act in 1966. While gambling activities were legalized fifty-five years ago, the gambling industry in Kenya has taken off not so long ago after international online gambling sites emerged on the scene. The online slots industry has been on the rise as well, and the best options available in Kenya are:

Players also benefit from an expanding symbol that upon hitting the gaming grid takes over respective reels and helps them with scoring top winnings of 5,000x their stake.

Starburst

Over the years, NetEnt has produced numerous amazing video slots and Starburst is one of them. Starburst has an unusual space theme. The game’s design is rather simple yet very sophisticated and visually appealing. Across 5 reels and 10 paylines the game features, players can across beautifully rendered colorful jewels. Kenyan players also appreciate the game’s wide betting range that goes from 0.10 to 100 credits per spin.

Starburst gaming sessions are all about special replacing wild symbols. These wild symbols make their appearance on the three middle reels and upon appearing on the grid, they can fully expand. Once they expand, respective reels turn into wild symbols and players benefit from re-spins during which players can scoop maximum winnings up to 500x their stake.

Jungle Jim

Jungle Jim is yet another beloved Microgaming video slot that has its loyal fans among Kenyan players. Jungle Jim El Dorado is playable on all devices including mobile devices from 0.25 to 25 credits per spin. As suggested by its name, Jungle Jim is an excellent option for fans of adventurous games as the main character in the game invites everyone to join him on his treasure hunting quest.

Players who join Jungle Jim benefit from a couple of super rewarding in-game bonuses, and one of these is the Jungle Jim El Dorado Rolling Reels mode that can bring loads of continuous winnings. Winning multipliers are also available, as well as a great Free Spins round. During the Free Spins bonus, winning multipliers rise up to 15x to bring top winnings of 3,680x players’ stake.

Gonzo’s Quest

Kenyan players are also huge fans of the NetEnt-powered Gonzo’s Quest video slot that, just like Immortal Romance and Book of Dead, is one of the flagship slot games. This Mayan-theme NetEnt game houses 5 reels and 20 paylines, and it can be played on standard and mobile gaming devices with only 0.20 credits invested per spin.

Gonzo’s Quest boasts an unusual Avalanche Reels mode, thanks to which successive winning combos grant awesome winning multipliers that rise up to 5x. Joining Gonzo on this journey also grants access to a Free Falls round and during this bonus round, winning multipliers are even more rewarding as they go up to 15x. With top winning of 37,500x of players’ stake featured, there is no wonder why Gonzo’s Quest remains one of the most beloved games of this kind among Kenyan players.

Break da Bank Again

Last but certainly not least on this list is Microgaming’s Break Da Bank Again slot. This is an upgraded version of the Break Da Bank slot. Its gaming grid boasts 5 reels and 9 pay lines. As suggested by its title, players hop on an exciting reel adventure and the main goal is to break into a well-secured bank vault, without all the risks that a real-world heist would carry. To start their gaming journey, players need to invest between 1 and 10 credits per spin.

Break Da Bank Again benefits from a rewarding Free Spins mode that triggers as soon as three or more scattered bonus symbols land on the reels on the same spin. The bonus grants up to 25 free spins. In addition, rewarding winning multipliers are introduced, and players can scoop top winnings up to 37,575x their stake with the help of replacing wild symbols
