Following an explosive sex scandal involving him and his recent ex’s daughter, now enraged Bongo Flava singer Harmonize is set to sue his former colleague Rayvanny and at least 6 others for allegedly sharing nudes and private conversations attributed to him.
Through a statement released Wednesday 14, 2021, Harmonize’ lawyer Jerome Msemwa accused WCB Wasafi’s trio; Rayvanny, Baba Levo and Juma Lokole of a smearing campaign against his client.
Controversial Tanzanian Media personality Diva Loveness professionally known as Divathebawse was also named among the accused.
Others named include a blogger running an online entertainment news page Bongotrending_habari and users behind the accounts Binti Kigoma and Baby_Udaku.
“We are preparing to file a suit against those involved in sharing photos, voices and videos of our client,” said lawyer Msemwa in a statement,
He added: “We will ask billions of shillings” as damages from the accused.
Msemwa also warned those continuing to share the photos asking them to stop immediately.
In addition to his lawyer’s statement, Harmonize hinted at reporting the named personalities’ accounts to be permanently banned from using Instagram.
“What you see here is a short list of people who you could never see again here on Instagram. They will pay me a huge sum of money accompanied with jail term which will serve as a lesson to others,” he said.
The founder of the Tanzanian-based record label Konde Music Worldwide alias “Kondegang” claimed the videos in circulation have been manipulated.
“Videos made and shared online showing my face conjoined with someone else’s nude then edited with my voice to tarnish my multi-billion brand,” wrote Harmonize on Instagram.
Harmonize, however, acknowledged one of the videos that captured the singer shirtless in a bathroom allegedly having a video call with Paula Kajala, the daughter of a woman who Harmonize was dating.
“In the video that I am seen talking from the bathroom, I was speaking with someone I was in a relationship with and it is normal to speak with them from anywhere,” wrote Harmonize.
Recently, Rayvanny accused Harmonize of wanting to hook up with Paula while in a relationship with her mother Frida Kajala popularly known as Kajala Masanja.
This is speculated to be the reason why Frida Kajala broke up with Harmonize. Kajala is currently on vacation in Dubai accompanied by her daughter Paula.
Frida Kajala and her daughter Paula are yet to comment on the matter.
Unverified reports claim that Rayvanny sponsored Kajala and her daughter’s vacation at the posh Armani Dubai Hotel in exchange for Harmonize dirty messages with Paula.
Rayvanny’s camp has, however, denied the reports.
The “Kiuno” hit-maker poured damning screenshots on his Instagram page showing his former colleague Harmonize trying to convince Paula to have sex with him and keep their relationship a secret.
In a long post, Rayvanny shamed Harmonize for sharing nude photos and videos of himself to Paula.
“I have never seen someone astonishing like you my brother Harmonize. What kind of a human being wants to sleep with both mother and daughter?” wrote Rayvanny.
He added: “You even send your nudes without caring about your position in the society.”
His post was seen as a way of getting back to Harmonize after the Kondegang founder exposed Rayvanny, a month ago, for dating a school-going Paula.
Rayvanny claimed that Harmonize contacted high ranking government officials to ensure that he was charged and jailed.
“You telephoned leaders to alert them of my issue which makes me wonder how you will show your face to them?” he asked.
Rayvanny’s explosive post led to an online spat between supporters of Diamond Platinumz’ record label WCB Wasafi and Harmonize’s Kondegang that was kindled after Harmonize quit Wasafi at the end of 2019.
The spat escalated further as artists; Ibraah from Kondegang and Rayvanny, Baba Levo from Wasafi released diss-tracks throwing shades at one another.
However, it was WCB Wasafi’s Baba Levo’s nasty track that earned him a date with BASATA, Tanzania’s National Board for Arts that regulates artistic items in the country.
The board has today afternoon released a statement condemning the online drama.
“We are saddened by the happenings and the behaviour of Tanzania artists for using uncouth language towards each other and sharing demeaning footages of one another against the board’s rules and regulations.” reads the statent from BASATA.
Adding "It is high time that our artists start getting creative and come up with ways of improving the industry instead of seeking for cheap publicity"
