Tanzanian Musician Mbwana Yusuf Kilungi popularly known as Mbosso has cleared the air concerning his newly acquired white Toyota Land Cruiser Prado.

The high-end ride has been likened to the disputed car which Diamond Platinumz gifted his ex-girlfriend and Kenyan musician Tanasha Donna on her birthday last year.

Mbosso’s new car sparked online whispers as fans insinuated that he might have endowed Tanasha’s car after the latter and Diamond severed ties and since it was revealed that Tanasha was reportedly forced to leave the car in Tanzania.

Speaking to True Love Magazine recently, Tanasha said she left the disputed car which was supposed to be her memorable 2019 birthday gift in Tanzania.

“I am not going to leave a relationship saying I am taking the car or a certain thing. You (Diamond) can have all that. I can get myself all I need,” she said.

Mbosso, however, has dispelled the allegations and termed them as of false.

“I was told if I am not careful, this car will be mistaken for Tanasha’s. This is my car and I thank God. It is a month old,” the ‘Hodari’ hit-maker told Wasafi Media.

The Wasafi signee would later on produce receipts as proof of ownership to completely debunk the claims.

Mbosso also intimated that he blessed his parents with a brand new car and a luxurious house.

“For me, this is a big achievement being able to gift them a car and a house,” he said attributing his recent success to multiple abroad stage performances.

He also intimated his relationship status after breaking up with her recent and fourth baby mama Rukia.

Rukia who has been Mbosso’s better half for quite some time birthed a baby boy July last year but her relationship with the WCB signee has recently hit a bottom rock.

Asked on whether he misses Rukia, the “Hodari” hit-maker said  he doesn’t miss her very much but they are co-parenting.

“We have never been close the way people think,” Mbosso told Wasafi Media adding that they have been living apart even when they were romantically involved.

He downplayed possibilities he might being someone else at the moment.

“My first and second baby mamas got married. The third passed away and the fourth (Ruki), we have been having frequent misunderstandings. But now we talk and when I get a chance I check up on my kid.”

Mbosso affirmed that he is currently not dating.

Rabai Leaders Defend Kilifi DG Saburi

A section of leaders from Rabai sub county in Kilifi County have defended embattled deputy governor Gideon Saburi against the flak he is receiving from Kilifi residents and country at large.
 
The leaders said Saburi's political enemies are now taking advantage of his woes to try and finish him politically using bloggers and other keyboard warriors.

Saburi has served Kilifi well and deserves forgiveness for his one blunder, they said.
 
Led by Rabai based political activist  Philip Mbaji, the leaders said Saburi has already been punished enough a d talk of his impeachment is unnecessary.
 
"The boy has suffered a lot. That is enough. Spare him this impeachment shenanigans being pushed by his political enemies," said Mbaji.

Health CS Mutahi Kagwe on Thursday declared the DG had recovered from COVID-19 but said he will have to face the law for refusing to self-quarantine upon return from an official trip to Germany on March 6.

Watch 'Jana' on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R01i-KYZ_mc

In this Woud Omollo produced track, Ms. Sunshine sings her heart out explaining different love paths experienced by different people. 'Jana' is a Swahili word translating to “yesterday” and in this context, it has been used to celebrate all types of love & it’s attraction towards it. 

The video was shot in the coastal shores of Ukunda showcasing the breathtaking beach under the direction of the Kenyan film director VJ One.

Ms. Sunshine said “On a personal level... Jana is like my love quest that is my own personal serenade. My hope in meeting and loving again".  

"I am a single mom raising 2 boys and I must say the hustle is real when searching for that soul mate while balancing my career life. Love is everything and everything is love”

 

Diamond Platinumz’ ex Kenyan girlfriend Tanasha Donna has told the “Jeje” hitmaker to keep all possessions they shared when they were fervidly in love before their recent bitter split.

Speaking in an interview with True Love Magazine barely a month after the two former lovebirds called it quits, Tanasha categorically said she is disinterested in taking a car gifted on her birthday in July last year by  Diamond.

“I am not going to leave a relationship saying I am taking the car or a certain thing. You (Diamond) can have all that. I can get myself all I need,” she said.

Tanasha was responding to claims that Diamond’s mother Sandra Kassim forcefully took her posh birthday present ride, Toyota Land cruiser V8. Dispelling reports suggest that Diamond had registered the car under his mother’s name.

The Kenyan musician now says she is unconcerned and uninterested in claiming the car.

She said: “The car is in TZ. I have no interest in taking it. I have my BMW here. I can get myself a car.”

Tanasha who also spoke in details about her estranged relationship with the Bongo star which was marred with allegations of infidelity and manipulation revealed why their accord hit a snag.

“You may have certain expectations when you get to a relationship and things don’t turn out exactly the way you want them to,” she said

Tanasha intimated that Diamond lost taste in her at some point hence her efforts to rekindle their amour ran aground.

According to her, she had no choice but to knock off the hanky-panky that left her with a son.

Tanasha avers that it was not an easy decision to make but she is certain that hanging the towel was best for herself and her son since she was the only one fighting for the survival of the relationship. 

“At some point, I was a bit lost especially with the child involved. Things were getting rocky for the last six months but we were trying to see how we could make things work.But it got to a point where the other person (Diamond) is just not interested. It’s not his fault...,” said Tanasha.

She added: “I would say it is because of not living to certain expectations he had. I wanted to be my own person as well as being in this relationship.”

As a parting shot, Tanasha urged those courting to respectfully set some boundaries and withdraw from any of their partner’s superintendent attempts.

“Respect them (partners) but when it gets a point where they try to be controlling, that’s where you set your boundaries and say I am the wrong person to control.”

Tanasha believes in the postmodern era where women do not have to do everything their men want to make them good partners terming it as toxic.

“A lot of women do not know what love is and I was one of those women. Try to look at things from a logical perspective. Women tend to think and feel with the heart but take your feelings aside for some minutes or an hour and look at the thing with your mind from a logical perspective,” she said.

Tanzanian crooner Diamond Platnumz's manager Sallam Sharaff is now out of danger from the coronvavirus.

In an instgaram post, Sallam revealed that he has now fully recovered from the disease after successful completing 14 days of quarantine.

“After 14 days got tested twice and both results came negative and now I am out of isolation centre. Thanks to Allah. Thanks to doctor’s nurses and the government,” posted Sallam.

Adding "Nimshukuru Allah, na pia niwashukuru wote mlionitumia msg, comments, DM na dua zenu. Bila kuwasahau Temeke Isolation Centre kwa kuwa bega na bega pamoja na mie bila kunichoka pale nilipokuwa nimezidiwa, na shukurani zangu zingine ziende kwa Madaktari bingwa kujua maendeleo yangu mara kwa mara na pia Serikali yangu na viongozi wake husika Wizara na Mkoa walikuwa hawana ubaguzi kutujulia hali na kutupa moyo na kutupa mahitaji tutakayo.

“Naomba niwape taarifa ndugu yenu, kijana wenu nimechukuliwa vipimo mara mbili na nimekutwa NEGATIVE na kwa sasa nipo huru. Ila naomba tuendelee kujikinga na kufata ushauri wa viongozi wetu na kuacha maelekezo ya utashi yasiyokuwa na uhakika. ALLAH IS GREAT.”

On 19th March, Sallam revealed that he had tested positive for the disease after a trip from abroad. This prompted his artist Diamond Platnumz and crew to go on self quarantine.
