Kanumba’s Death Was Accidental- Tanzanian Elders


Elizabeth Lulu, Tanzanian actress, says Kanumba wanted to attack her with a panga during a heated argument, after which he fell down and was unconscious. She then ran for her life, only to get news that Kanumba had died.

Elders have leaped to her defence as she is being charged with killing bongo movie star Steven Kanumba in April 2012 who was her then-lover.

A council of elders says according to the hearing of the case, Lulu did not kill Kanumba intentionally.

After Kanumba’s death, Lulu was detained for almost half a year. Her case was finally heard last week, and it took five days.

The next hearing will be on November 13. 

Why Tina Kaggia And JB Masanduku’s Marriage Fell Apart


Why do marriages fail?
This is very evident in many couples these days. Failed marriages and divorces are tremendously increasing. Why does this happen?

Once the couple faces intense fights and bigger problems, they tend to weaken and try to avoid these predicaments. They do not do some serious talking hence they slowly stop loving each other.

Another reason why marriages fail is the lack of spontaneity in the relationship of the married couple. Everything else is in routine and both the husband and wife will fail to have the excitement they once felt when they exchanged their vows. Intimacy lacks its spice and it essentially creates a gap between the two lovebirds.

Last year, radio Presenter Tina Kaggia left her matrimonial home after breaking up with her husband comedian Nathan Kimani aka JB Masanduku.

No one knew why the two lovebirds decided to call it quits. Luckily, we can now have some insight as Ms. Kaggia has come out to reveal exactly what happened.

According to Nairobi News, Ms. Kaggia revealed that her marriage had at some point made her feel suicidal. She confessed how JB Masanduku neglected her, manipulated and served her with constant lies.

Apparently, the anger, made her crumble inside and she started drinking heavily. Her father tried to intervene and guide the couple but nothing changed. Tina ended up taking a break from radio because of depression.

I disappeared for four months because I needed medical attention for depression; I was suicidal at this point.

She says she is now feeling better, although she still battles with insomnia. The former mid-morning show host at Classic 105 is now in the process of finalizing her divorce.

Africa Nouveau - 2017, the music and arts festival that was slated for November (10th -12th) 2017 at Small World Country Club Athi River has been postponed. The festival will soon fall in early 2018. The postponement is due to increased concern with the perpetual suspense and escalating tensions around the election activities.

An official statement from the Africa Nouveau Festival team reads: “We feel it is best to move Africa Nouveau clear of the election period. We are currently working hard on securing new dates for early 2018 and you will be first to be advised when this is done. In the meantime, we kindly request you to put a hold on the plans you had with the festival as we wait for the new dates. Thank you again for your commitment and support towards Africa Nouveau Festival.”

The Africa Nouveau festival will maintain its over 20 music acts drawn from across Africa and the UK to light up it’s live music stage in early 2018.

Known for drawing Nairobi's coolest audience and lovers of lifestyle and arts, the upcoming Africa Nouveau will once again be a platform for discovering some of the most innovative Africans creating new style of music and sounds influencing Africa and the African Diaspora. The next edition will also showcase innovative new art by East African and British talent, thanks to its partnership with the British Council's East Africa Arts program. The program which creates connections between creatives from Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and the UK will ensure that artists brought together at the festival will make and showcase new art to audiences. The artists will also share skills and forge networks between the creative sectors of the UK and East Africa.

Multiple experiences to look forward to will include good music vibes divided into a live music stage and an after-hours DJ stage that will present DJ Suraj, DJ Marfox (Portugal), DJ Spilulu (Congo) and Electrafrique represented by DJ Moma and DJ Cortega. A film stage in partnership with the Goethe Institute will feature filmmakers from across Africa, a style bazaar will feature fashion, accessories and homeware designer products, there will be a wellness zone in partnership with Africa Yoga Project that will feature zumba and yoga classes and wholesome organic refreshments, a renew and recharge zone by Ofgen Solar E-Cycle where revellers will create energy to charge phones by cycling and also a fully serviced camping experience complete with yummy food and drinks stalls. 

Two fresh music albums will also be dropping at the festival. Muthoni the Drummer Queen’s anticipated album ‘SHE’ which features her smash hit singles “Kenyan Message” and “Million Voice” and the album ‘PROJECT GREATNESS’ off Sichangi’s upcoming album.

KAHC, PERAK and entertainment industry strike new deal on copyright tariff.


The Kenya Association of Hotel keepers and Caterers (KAHC), their regional affiliate bodies, the Pubs Entertainment and Restaurants Association of Kenya (PERAK), and the collective Management Organizations(CMO’S)  announced a new agreement regarding tariffs and payment methods for the background use of musical work, sound recordings and audio visual works.
This follows the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding. The MOU Captures the re-negotiated tariff principle based on a percentage of the single business permit (SBP) and where applicable the liquor license (LL) based on the county in which the business operates in.

“The MOU is in response to the concerns raised after a gazette notice published in April 2017. Stakeholders and the relevant CMO’s were hosted by Kenya Copyright Board (KECOBO), to renegotiate the music royalty tariffs payable specifically for the use of background  music by the members of these associations and develop a more professional efficient method of collection,” said  KAHC CEO, Mike Macharia.

The deal was reached between Pubs Entertainment and Restaurants Association of Kenya (PERAK), the Kenya Association of Hotel Keepers and Caterers (KAHC) their regional affiliate bodies and the Collective Management Organizations(CMO’S) regarding tariffs and payment methods for the background use of musical work, sound recordings and audio visual works.

Every establishment that engages in the background use of musical works, sound recordings, and audio visual works in their premises will be expected to pay the amount captured in the invoice raised,” PERAK Chairman, Patrick Muya stated.

“Compliance is mandatory and each user is obligated by law to make a payment towards the use for the benefit of the owners of the rights in the content. These negotiations and subsequent MOU seeks to ensure a significant increase in compliance and collections for the members of the CMO’s,” added Performers Rights Society of Kenya, chairlady Iddi Achieng.

Invoices will be issued by the CMO’s to the respective business and they will have a period of fourteen (14) days to settle the invoice. Failure to pay within this window of compliance will result in strict penalties and the initiation of an enforcement procedure as per the attached document.

“As part of our continued commitment to an improved efficient and transparent collection and distribution process, the three CMO’s have planned to transition from the current manual process and automate the licensing process to enable music users pay for the license to use music,” said Chairman MPAKE Bernard Kioko.

“Members should note that this pilot process will take immediate effect and that an implementation committee representing both the BMO’S and CMO’s has been formed to further clarify any issues that may arise” added Justus Ngemu Chairman KAMP.

As a result of this MOU, the BMO’s and CMO’s will carry out a countrywide awareness campaign on the new tariff changes.

Justin Timberlake To Headline Super Bowl Halftime Show



Justin Timberlake will headline the halftime show at Super Bowl 52 in February, Justin Timberlake and the NFL announced on Sunday.

This will be the third time that Timberlake has performed in the halftime show of the league’s championship spectacular. He performed at Super Bowl 35 as a member of *NSYNC and at Super Bowl 28 in 2004 with Janet Jackson, when an infamous “wardrobe malfunction” caused one of Jackson’s breasts to be exposed.

Timberlake posed a video clip on Twitter announcing that he would be performing at the Super Bowl on February 4 at the US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Timberlake’s third appearance at the Super Bowl will give him the most appearances by an individual entertainer.

Lady Gaga performed at last year’s Super Bowl, traditionally the most-watched television event of the year in the United States.

The halftime show has become a spectacle in its own right. Last year’s halftime show was the most-watched musical event of all-time across all platforms and the most-watched Super Bowl halftime performance in history through broadcast and digital channels, reaching more than 150 million unique people, the league said.

Ed Sheeran Confirms Right Elbow and Left Wrist Broken in Bike Accident




There’s no denying that Ed Sheeran is a super talented musician, but playing guitar with a cast covering his arm may be an issue even for him.

The 26-year-old singer shared a concerning photo on Instagram featuring his right arm in a cast and a sling on his left on a Monday morning. The Sun reports Sheeran was riding his bike in London when he was hit by a car, although that remains unconfirmed at this time.
“I’ve had a bit of a bicycle accident and I’m currently waiting on some medical advice, which may affect some of my upcoming shows,” he captioned the post. “Please stay tuned for further news. Ed x”

He updated fans Tuesday evening, confirming he suffered not one, but two breaks.
“A visit to my doctors confirmed fractures in my right wrist and left elbow that will leave me unable to perform live concerts for the immediate future,” Sheeran dictated to a friend. “Sadly, this means that the following shows will not be able to go ahead as planned: Taipei, Osaka, Seoul, Tokyo and Hong Kong. I’m waiting to see how the healing progresses before we have to decide on shows beyond that. Please stay tuned for more details. PS – Ed isn’t typing this as he has both arms casted/bandaged.”

'I Know What You Did Last Summer' Turns 20: Ryan Phillippe Reveals What You Didn't See On Screen


 Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Freddie Prinze Jr. — in the crosshairs of a yellow-slicker wearing, fishhook-wielding revenge seeker.
Prepare to feel old, children of the ’90s. The 1997 horror hit I Know What You Did Last Summer celebrates its 20th birthday Oct. 17. That’s one year shy of legal drinking age, but the movie could get behind the wheel of a car. That may not be such a great idea, though, because the film’s horror hijinks are set in motion by an automobile accident, one that claims the life of an ordinary pedestrian and putting his teenage killers — played by era-defining stars

As Phillippe told Yahoo Entertainment during a Facebook Live talk earlier this year, there were some off-camera driving errors committed during production as well — though thankfully with less deadly consequences. “One night Sarah Michelle and I decided to take my rental car on the beach,” the actor recalls. “We ended up getting stuck in a sand dune and having to call a tow truck in the middle of the night — all in fear of the producers finding out and we’d be fired!” (Watch the clip from our interview above.)

Sand-dune traps aside, Phillippe describes the I Know What You Did Last Summer set as a dream environment for a young actor. “I just remember us four being so excited we were making a studio movie. That was my dream as a 13-year-old — to see myself on the big screen.” Released one year after the original Scream reinvigorated the horror genre in America, audiences were primed to, well, scream along with the absurdly attractive cast. In real life, Gellar and Prinze — who plays Hewitt’s boyfriend in the film — later fell in love and married, but Phillippe doesn’t recall any inkling of that romance starting on set. “There wasn’t really a sense of that then, but I think it’s really cool and sweet that they ended up together.”

A local Twitter bigwig and blogger who is a well-known skirt chaser was recently caught pants down, about to empty his balls.

The fashion blogger, who is popularly known as This Is Ess, gave birth on June 6 this year but she has never shown her son’s face – save for one photo.
The only photo that’s available on the interwebs shows Sharon’s husband who goes by the Lonina Letaipan resting his head against his son’s with both of their eyes shut.

We now have Kihoro to thank after she posted a photo of the couple’s 3-month old son on her Instagram page.
Although she didn’t show the little boy’s face in the said photo, I’m sure many of her fans could not help but marvel over how much he has grown over the past few months.

Username Investment Issues Over 700 Titles To New Land Owners


Real Estate company, Username Investment Limited, is encouraging Kenyan youth to safeguard their future by investing in property.
As part of its growth strategy, the company is keen to tap into the youth market by offering products at affordable prices.
“We are aware of the challenges that still remain, such as access to finance by many potential homeowners, especially low-income groups. One of our aspirations is to ensure that over the next five years, we settle as many youth as possible into home ownership,” said Username Investment CEO, Reuben Kimani.
Speaking during title issuance ceremony held at the Haven-Konza in Kajiado County, Kimani noted the company’s commitment to ensuring that buyers get value for their money.
The company, which today issued about 700 titles to land owners of its various projects says the company is committed to providing Strategic, quality and affordable products and services that create value for all investors.
“This being the second title issuance ceremony this year proves that Username Investment delivers on our promises, built on our foundation of trustworthiness at a time when the property market is ridden with fraud unscrupulous businessmen “he said.
Statistics from the Ministry of Land indicate that there have been about 7,052 cases of property fraud, which has been made worse by unscrupulous businessmen colluding with professionals mandated to ensure no fraud.
The Ministry further highlighted that the scams could be costing the economy Kshs60 billion annually. This is the estimated cash that the government loses in land rates, court cases and lost investment opportunities when disputed land lies idle.
The CEO further encouraged Kenyans to purchase land through reputable property ownership companies.
Kenyans have to also grapple with the rising cost of land mostly caused by speculation, which is making it impossible for many to own property and eventually homes “At Username Investment, we pride ourselves in making land affordable and therefore accessible for Kenyans from all walks of life. We are currently offering our customers a choice of a variety of parcels of land from as low as Kshs179, 000 for an eighth of an acre.” said the CEO.
He also said that the company was committed to providing value-added land, which includes amenities such as borehole, perimeter fence and internal access roads.   
Username Investment says it will continue to invest in parcels of land that are affordable, strategic, of value to its clients and play its role in restoring confidence in the process of land ownership in the country.
“By creating secure access to land, Username Investment is playing its role towards Vison 2030’s goals to ensure affordable housing for all Kenyans by 2030. Username Investment is doing its part in ensuring that Kenyans have a chance to build sustainable communities through developments in agriculture, infrastructure and the promotion of equal rights of women, minorities and vulnerable groups,” said Kimani.
