Apparently, Huddah Monroe doesn’t date Kenyan men and can’t even remember the last time she did.

The popular girl-about-town, while revealing why she would rather date foreigners over Kenyans, “bro zoned” all Kenyan men. On her popular social media pages, the socialite/cosmetics businesswoman hinted that her countrymen are stingy.

“I don’t date Kenyans. Don’t know the last time I was ever with a Kenyan,” wrote Huddah.

Then came the bombshell, “I consider all Kenyan men my brothers.”

Can you believe this girl? How do you bro zone a whole damn country?

Huddah, who rose to fame over her nudist tendencies, went on to argue: “Coz if you can’t help my business or my life, then what are we?…Siblings,” she answered.

Huddah also preserved some gold-digging advice to young slay queens urging them to raise their worth.

“Slay queens need to stop being worth alcohol only. Start raising the bar because if you ask a n*gga for 5000 Usd in Kenya, he will think you are a dreamer,” posted Huddah followed by laughing emojis.

I think this needs the immediate attention of the President of the Kenyan boychild Association Cyprian Is Nyakundi.

Hide your girlfriends gentlemen, there is a new power duo on social media circles disturbing Kenyan girls’ peace.

Media personalities Samuel Muraya alias DJ Mo and Martin Kimathi have emerged as a formidable pair on the social networking site, Instagram. Over the last one month, the television presenters have been sending their followers into a state of confusion over their uncanny and striking resemblance.

The handsome duo has not made things easier for their followers’ confusion as they continue to fondly refer to each other as ‘bro.’ From what we gather, the award-winning gospel DJ is supposed to be the elder sibling, with the ‘Teen Republik’ show host taking after him.

We also understand the two might be working on something fashion-related after Kimathi captioned a pic with DJ Mo: “Cloth talk with Big Bro.”

About two weeks ago, DJ Mo posted their first picture together, writing: “Evening vibe with Ma bro Martin.”

Since then, the two have consistently continued to stun their followers with their undeniably good looks and stylish fashion sense.

The comments have been overwhelming with some followers believing that they are actually blood brothers.

The pics.

Eric Omondi’s fiancee, Chantal Grazioli, is the envy of city women after the comedian pulled off another romantic masterstroke.

The comedian, who is well renown for his ostentatious romantic gestures, was at it again yesterday as he welcomed his Italian beauty back to the country.

Ms Grazioli was in her home country for the holidays having left Kenya as early as September last year. Her long stay had noticeably taken a toll on the comedian, judging from a series of his social media posts.

The comedian at one time shared a video of himself checking Chantal’s car in their parking and claiming that it had been infested with spider cobwebs.

Eric Omondi had also threatened to camp at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport until Chantal was back.

Well, his long, lonely nights finally came to an end yesterday afternoon after Chantal touched down at the JKIA, where Omondi and some of his friends were eagerly waiting.

The comedian was quick to share his excitement with his over 1 million Instagram followers, sharing a video as he pushed Chantal on a trolley like the pretty princess she is.

In the short clip, the two lovebirds are also seen sharing a kiss.

Welcome home my love @miss.chanty

A post shared by Eric Omondi (@ericomondi) on Jan 15, 2018 at 7:15am PST

But that was not all. Eric Omondi, in his usual unforgiving romantic self, set the standards high for the struggling Kenyan boychild as he partnered with StarTimes to welcome Chantal with a huge billboard along Mombasa Road.

The billboard with Chantal’s picture on full display reads: “Welcome Home Chantal.. Thank You for Upgrading My Life.”

On Instagram, Omondi was kind enough to share Chantal’s reaction as they approached the billboard. He captioned a clip: “Welcome home babyyyyyy”

Welcome home babyyyyyy THANK YOU STARTIMES #TheQueenIsHere @miss.chanty #StarTimes #UpGradeYourLife @bonfireadventures

A post shared by Eric Omondi (@ericomondi) on Jan 15, 2018 at 8:53am PST

The lovebirds also stopped by the billboard and posed for a picture as they embraced looking up at Eric’s masterstroke.

From the comments section, it appears lots of Kenyan ladies have been dating the wrong guys. Some single ladies vowed not to get married unless it is to a Luo guy.

Slay queens claimed that “Hata Sijaskia Vibaya” and the boychild continues to wait for an official statement from ‘President’ Cyprian Is Nyakundi on the way forward after this huge ‘setback’ to the cause.

But comedian Eddie Butita ultimately stole the show with a KDF meme.

High-flying Kenyan Afro-pop band Sauti Sol has a loyal fan in controversial Ugandan activist Stella Nyanzi. The former Makerere University professor has a particular liking for the band’s vocalist and keyboardist, Willis Chimano.

Nyanzi, who is currently facing charges for referring to president Museveni as ‘a pair of buttocks’ and his wife Janet as ’empty-brained’ on Facebook last year, has confessed that Chimano drives her crazy.

The outspoken feminist academic says Chimano’s voice is still her favorite contemporary discovery.

According to Nyanzi, she endlessly replays Chimano’s sections in Sauti Sol’s songs. Stella also confessed that she imitates the baritone-voiced singer with her children.

“Willis Austin Chimano’s voice is still my most favorite contemporary discovery! He is the little short guy among the wonderfully talented members of Sauti Sol.”

“I still catch myself endlessly replaying his sections of the Sauti Sol productions. My children and I even imitate him whenever we watch music videos in which he features.”

“Mmm, that voice is fine. And pure. And magical. And captivating. And, oh my God!” She confessed.

We are not sure if its a case of ‘Njaanuary’ hitting hard or just another Fred Omondi controversy. For years now, the comedian has been courting controversy and has earned the tag “serial bill defaulter.”

His latest controversy involves allegedly defaulting on an alcohol bill amounting to Sh5850.

According to his accuser, a waitress at the Blend lounge on Mombasa road, the younger brother to Eric Omondi left the lounge without settling the bill, leaving her in a precarious situation wuth her employer.

“I am writing this while very annoyed with this celebrity called Fred Omondi. He is on the run with a pending bill he accrued yesterday night (Sunday) at the Blend Lounge on Mombasa road. I looked for his number and called him, but my phone calls to him were not going through because his mobile phone line was offline. I am now forced to settle the bill – Ksh5, 850 – from my salary,” Mary posted on Facebook on Monday, January 15.

Along with the claims, the waitress, identified as Mary Sorty, shared a receipt of the bill and photos she took with the comedian that same night.

Responding to the allegations, Fred Omondi has dismissed Mary Sorty as a publicity-seeker.

“I am shocked by the statement she (Mary) has made on Facebook. The pictures she has posted online were taken when she had requested for selfies with me,” said Fred Omondi.

Explaining what exactly happened, Fred Omondi said the bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label was to be paid for by the party host.

“There’s a lady friend of mine called Lisa Kiki, who threw a white party at the Blend Lounge on Sunday evening. He had requested me to emcee at the bash, and because she is my good friend, I decided to emcee at the event without demanding any pay,” said Omondi.

“Ms Kiki had offered to buy me Hennessy whiskey, but I instead, opted for Johnnie Walker Black Label. Nairobi businessman Gor Semelang’o was among those who turned up for the party. He bought over 50 bottles of Hennessy whiskey. We took enough liquor.”

“So, when I was leaving, I informed Mary, who is a waitress at the entertainment joint, that the party host, Lisa Kiki, will pay for the bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label which I had downed earlier before Mr Semelang’o bought us a round of drinks.

“Lisa Kiki confirmed to Mary that she was the one to foot the bill.”

Fred Omondi further accused the waitress of pulling the same stunt on his brother Eric Omondi.

“I think this lady, Mary, is out to seek publicity. There was a time she’d dragged my brother Eric Omondi’s name to some controversy. There’s even an online user, who observed that she is out for the Omondi brothers. Mary ako na u-star mob. I have already spoken to Blend owner and he said he will settle the matter,” said Omondi.

Well, it appears gospel musician Ringtone is still his usual self in this new year. The controversial hitmaker, who is known for making audacious claims about his wealth, is at it again. This time, he plans to purchase a helicopter.

Five days ago, he took to his Instagram page to ask his followers about a Eurocopter model he has been eyeing.

Should l buy this?????? What do you guys this of this Eurocoptor

A post shared by ringtone Kenya (@ringtoneapoko) on Jan 10, 2018 at 6:30am PST

While some of his followers brushed his “impossible” plans aside, it appears the ‘Tenda Wema’ is dead serious about it.

He claims he has set aside a cool Sh 200 million to make his dream come true.

“I have set aside Ksh200 million for the acquisition of a used chopper. Though, if I can get one which goes for Ksh150 million and it is in good condition, I wouldn’t mind going for it,” Ringtone told eDaily.

“Besides my personal use, I will hire it out to willing people, who can afford it for few hours,” added Ringtone.

When asked where he raised the money, Ringtone was coy with the full details saying he got it from his businesses.

“My businesses helped me raise the Ksh200 million.”

“This country has a very conducive environment for one to do business. So, I am one of those people doing business in this country. I am not an idle musician; I am an entrepreneur, who engages in several trades. I won’t disclose details about my businesses. When one does something good with his life, God blesses the work of his hands. I am blessed. Watu waache wivu. And you cannot judge a book by its cover. Just because I walk around the streets of Nairobi, it doesn’t mean you know the amount of money stored in my bank account. It is only God who knows my worth. I have many businesses not registered under my name; I won’t reveal their nature,” he said.

“Watu waache kujudge wengine kwa kuangalia sura na miaka,” added Ringtone.

The gospel musician, who once claimed that he is the richest musician in the country, said he has already been approached by two people who wish to sell their helicopters to him.

“So far, two foreigners willing to sell their helicopters have approached me. Though, I am still looking around for cheaper options. If I can get one going for very little amount of money, I will be happy,” he said.

Ringtone also noted that he is aware of all the requirements from the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority that would allow his to own and operate the Copter.

“When I decided that I needed a chopper, I was aware of the required documents, which would allow me to legally own and operate the copter. I am following due process in the acquisition. Hopefully, I will buy one which is locally registered so that I don’t go through a long and winding registration process. As soon as I get one, I will alert my fans,” he said.

We will be watching quite closely for any developments.

As we told you earlier this week, ‘Mother-in-Law’ actor Jeff Okello, popularly known for his character ‘Ninja’, married over the weekend.

The actor tied the knot with his fiancée, Katja Maria, in a glamorous garden wedding in Afrosayari hotel Utawala on Sunday.

The ceremony was attended by family and friends and worshippers from Seventh Day Adventist Church, Kariobangi.

Okello, and his newlywed wife, who is an air hostess, thereafter proceeded to their honeymoon in Mombasa.

The lovebirds met almost four years ago in Nairobi’s Kayole estate where Katja, from Finland, was doing volunteer work.

During their time together, they have been blessed with an eight-month-old daughter.

Kenyan top comic Eric Omondi has taken his admiration of Tanzanian star Diamond Platnumz to a whole new level.

Over the years, the comedian, through his popular YouTube channel, has imitated the Bongo star on several of his productions, such as How to Be Diamond.

This time, it gets better after Omondi found Diamond Platnumz lookalike, Patrick, from Mtwapa. The bodaboda rider has been thrust into the limelight courtesy of Omondi as the two have teamed up for the parody of all parodies.

Dubbed ‘Boy From Tandale,’ Omondi and Patrick, now known as ‘The Other Diamond Platnumz’ on social media pages, parody the story of Diamond in hilarious fashion.

The production is also aimed at helping the comedian market his upcoming event to be held at Kasarani Stadium.

“Boy From Tandale” is proving a hit among YouTube users and is one of the trending videos in Kenya.

Fast-rising Pop and R&B Kenyan songbird Rosa is back with some new scintillating heat. The sultry singer broke into the Kenyan urban music scene about two years ago with ‘Stay.’

Over the last one year, she released ‘Unipende’ with Kidis, ‘Mchezo Ni Kwako’, and the latter’s remix ft 125. As she slowly but steadily continues to stake her claim in the industry, the talented singer has teamed up with one of the country’s current biggest hitmakers, Naiboi, on a hot new jam dubbed ‘Inside.’

The urban pop smash love song has bits of Swahili, Luo and English showcasing Rosa’s versatility and growth musically. It’s produced by Jegede (Pacho Entertainment) while the video is directed by VjOne.

The jam’s reception has been wild and positive since its release earlier this week.

We can’t say we are really surprised by Willy Paul’s new project. Just like his “archenemy” Bahati, the singer is set to launch his own record label.

The two have long been known for trying to outdo each other in the gospel music industry. With Bahati already enjoying a one-year headstart with Eastlands Most Beloved(EMB) Records, Willy Paul is about to bring some competition in a few weeks.

“Yes it’s coming..,” announced Willy Paul on social media, adding: “I’m blessed!! God is good, the biggest record label in town owned by me is about to drop!!!”

The ‘Tempted’ singer also appears to have been inspired to start a label by his music role model, Tanzania’s Diamond Platnumz, whose Wasafi stable is proving a big hit in the East African region.

Throughout his music career, Willy Paul has often been accused of “borrowing” ideas from Diamond.

The singer also sent a warning shot to his competitors or rather competitor(Bahati) to be scared.

“You better be ready and scared kidogo!!! Once again God is good!!”

Yes its coming.. im blessed!! God is good the biggest record label in town owned by Me is about to drop!!! You better be ready and scared kidogo!!! Once again God is good!!

The controversial singer has also been hanging out with secular artists such as Timmy Tdat and Khaligraph Jones. In a picture with the ‘Kasabun’ hitmaker, Willy Paul wrote: “Trust me when i say its another very good year for me and YOU my fansssss.”

Willy Paul’s fans seemed certain that a collabo between the two is in the offing. Fans have questioned Willy Paul’s new music direction as he continues to work with secular artists.

“Pizzo/Kibera to the world” is looking ‘realer’ than ever for Octopizzo after the rapper ‘copped’ himself a rare ticket to one of the most prestigious music awards ceremonies, The Grammys.

The rapper, fresh from opening his 2018 discography account with the trap anthem -Red Namba Plate, broke the news on social media yesterday.

According to Octo, this makes him the “first Kenyan Hiphop artist and probably 1first East African to be invited to the Grammys.”

Being such a huge milestone for the rapper who rapped his way out of Kibera slums, Octo intends to “take” his late folks to the international event.

He revealed on social media that he will rock a T-shirt printed with his parents’ image “in hope that mum & Dad will be in attendance.”

“Wish Mum & Paps were here so that I take them with me to the Grammys. 1st Kenyan Hiphop artist probably 1st East African to be invited to the Grammys. I’m wearing this T shirt to the Grammys in hope that mum & Dad will be in attendance. #iDidItForYouMama

Like we always ask, what can’t Lupita Nyong’o, Kenya’s finest export to Hollywood, do? The Academy-Award winning actress is now set to showcase her literary skills in a forthcoming children’s book.

Titled ‘Sulwe’, which is Luo(Lupita’s native language) for “star” is the story of a five-year-old girl growing up in Kenya. In the picture book, Sulwe has the darkest skin complexion in her family, a fact that makes her uncomfortable and determined to find a way to lighten her skin.

As the story unfolds, Sulwe embarks on an adventure in the night sky that, coupled with advice from her mother, helps her see beauty differently.

Like Sulwe, Lupita Nyong’o struggled with her skin colour as a child and candidly acknowledged being self-conscious about it in a moving ‘Black Women in Hollywood’ speech in 2014.

With ‘Sulwe’, Lupita hopes to target children aged between 5 and 7.

On social media, Lupita revealed the book will be getting published in January 2019.

“I am pleased to reveal that I have written a children’s book! It’s called “Sulwe”! Sulwe is a dark-skinned girl who goes on a starry-eyed adventure, and awakens with a reimagined sense of beauty. She encounters lessons that we learn as children and spend our lives unlearning. This is a story for little ones, but no matter the age I hope it serves as an inspiration for everyone to walk with joy in their own skin. Coming January 2019!”

Barnabas Otieno, aka DJ Mantix, is no stranger to rocking super clubs, festivals, high-profile parties, and underground jams on a global scale.

With over 10 years of experience and a string of industry awards like Chaguo Awards 2010 and 2011, Mantix deservedly holds a place as one of today’s most respected DJs.

When Mantixx is not working on the decks, he doubles up as a family man. He married in 2015 in a wedding that approximately cost Sh3.5 million.

During that time, they have been blessed with a son Scofield Okello, 10 and daughter Lulu Waridi, 2.

DJ Mantixx recently opened up about fatherhood and what it means to be a parent.

What do you love most about being a parent?

The learning experience and how it has made me responsible as a dad. In fact, I find myself spending so much time with my daughter and her mum Angela when I’m not busy.

What are some of the challenges you face as a father?

When children are very young it is hard to interpret when they are not OK. They cry unprovoked. So it is hard to figure out when they are sick, cold, hungry or in pain. You therefore have to be very attached to your kid so you can know what is wrong.

My daughter is almost two-years-old now and she already leaves an impression with how she sings and dances. I wouldn’t mind it if she ventured into the entertainment industry in the future. I would also like her to know the difference between good and bad.

How do you spend time together?

We enjoy going for drives, a thing that forced me to buy a car. So every weekend you will find us on the road going to different places because the younger one especially loves seeing new things. And when she wears new clothes, I have to take her somewhere or she will not give me peace.

If your daughter was old enough what advice would you give her?

I would simply tell her what my dad told me, that a bird can’t fly with one wing, and that you need people but choose them wisely.

As a father what are some of the lessons you have learnt?

I have learnt so much especially at this time when she is excited to learn so I give her an extra hand. Also as a father I have to take care of my family so I always find myself doing some side hustles to make ends meet.
