The Thundersound Records signed artiste is yet to confirm whether these allegations are true or false.

SUSUMILA CRITICIZED FOR COPY PASTING VIDEO CONCEPT

Susumila

Mkikuyu Mjaka  
 
The Mombasa based musician has been mulikwad a good one after analysts narrowed down his video of the song Ngoma Imezima ,to a copy pasted version of the song Chura by Tanzania's Snura.Wait a minute do you think Susumila is to blame for this or its a common practice among our Kenyan video directors who are fond of sleeping on their jobs .Its believed most  Kenyan video directors have fallen short of creativity and would rather rush into youtube to get samples of works done by other directors after consuming the money paid in by their clients.

Apart from just getting social media praises, Pauline earlier today 29 October 2016 was paid a visit by the Safaricom CEO,  Bob Collymore.
In a few photos shared on the Safariom’s social media pages, Pauline is seen enjoying her boss’ company. The two are seen taking selfies and in another photo the two having a serious conversation. Her compassionate and selfless actions have opened greater doors for her. The customer care attendant can now say she wined and dined with a millionaire.

GENGE MUSICIAN BADLY ASSAULTED BY UNRULY BOUNCERS AT A MASENO UNIVERSITY GIG

King Lang'

By Mkikuyu Mjaka 

2016 has been a rough year for Kenyan Genge Musician Lang ’ Katalang’. The Maseno University student of Drama and Theater has faced quite a number of shortcomings this season with the worst being a death threat issued by a former member of his music gang mid this year. Soon after the matter was settled ,the rapper opted to lie low with many Kenyans not really certain of his actual movements other than his limited interactions with fans via social media that is . Last Saturday evening of October 29^TH the Ka Zote  crooner found himself in a difficult position trying to convince drunk bouncers at a campus gig that he was actually a musician and not an ordinary comrade. This however fell into deaf ears as the mob of unruly bouncers pushed the self proclaimed King of Showbizness down a few staircases at the entrance before they quickly rushed to beg for apology immediately one of the event organizers identified the star  though it was rather too late. The damage had already taken place. Speaking to Bonyeza Star on Sunday morning, a very loyal fan  of the musician who witnessed the whole scene had this to say.

Spoken Word Artiste CEO to perform in Kisumu next weekend

“King Lang arrived at the venue at around 11.00 pm .I wanted to go say hi to him but I noticed he was on a long conversation with somebody on his cell phone. He grabbed a seat and went to a corner just outside the entrance to Equator Fm studios .My efforts to chat him out bore no fruits since the conversation went for longer than an hour. I noticed it was him because he was putting on his usual green and black college jacket, and everything else was white from his cape to T-Shirt to his pair of trousers and rubber shoes. I decided to divert my attention to my friends with whom we were dancing outside the hall. Then suddenly I heard an argument between the security at the entrance and the artiste who even went ahead to remove his cape in order to be identified was being assaulted instead .After a few seconds the legendary Maseno rapper was being pushed further and further away from the hall until he slipped down the staircases though he did not fall. All through there was commotion with everyone else being harassed whether you had a ticket or not, or even wanted to make your way back after leaving the hall shortly. It pained me so much that I had to apologize to King Lang this morning through his facebook inbox even though I was just a witness to his humiliation. I mean K’Lang deserves some respect, come to think of the far he has come and how proud Maseno should be of him ,” said the unidentified fan before we interrupted to call the rapper.

King Lang'

This is what Lang Katalang had to say about the Saturday Night scene ,”I love Maseno University so much and such things happen to every other celebrity out there .Honestly this was not a club event or even an outside campus event so there was no reason to go to the show with an entourage or even security. That’s why I went alone .I was not in the list for any performances last night but I wanted to pass by and say hello to a few colleagues before retiring to bed. I may not blame the bouncers or the organizers but my humble request is that comrades attending night events be treated with utmost respect.”

One of the apologetic messages sent by one Jefferson  of Splash Entertainment of Sunday morning at 09:44:  30-Oct-2016 read

“Bro am sorry sikua na phone and am very sorry for what happened…”

The rapper must have tried to contact the event organizer the previous night after the incident but seemingly the two did not have a clear communication

Lang’Katalang is a showbiz analyst , rapper, emcee and event’s organizer  at Relevant Deejayz Entertainment .He began his music career in 2012 at Calif Records under his very first rap group Watiaji before disbanding the group and going solo. He worked with both Grandpa Records and Thundersound Records in 2013 and eventually settled at Alka Music Production in 2016. He has three singles namely  Ile Siku Nitahit ,Ka Zote and Made In Kaluo .Other songs participated in by the star include Olago Dance ft Kaybee (Ghana) ,Nataka Kuwa Nawe ft Chege Chigunda ( Tanzania),Barua Kwa Magufuli ft Sir Guy and Teargas ft Critical Kondishon. Agochoni,An A Jaluo,Kimandazi Mandazi ,Crown Imenyakuliwa and Unafeel Aje  are just but a few of his other songs.

He boasts of having introduced Kisumu’s youngster rapper Balulu into the game with the song Gonga Wall and also participated in the making of another hit “Gimochiek” alongside other Nyanza superstars like Babu Gee, Dogo Ateeh,Queen Hecky,Robi Crystal, Robatoz The Badman  and Atomy Sifa .

King Lang's daughter Princess Marion Tafana

I must say ever since he stepped foot into fatherhood after the birth of his daughter Marion Tafana ,King Lang has devoted much of his time on being a great father other than pursuing his degree program at Maseno University .That explains why he has appeared on few stages from the onset of this year. At one point the rapper is said to have dropped out of the University , only to resume 2 years later on a new program. The former former student of Applied statistics  must have found Drama & Theatre more compatible with his talent.

Bottom-line  ,treat your celebrities right when they are still alive. To the organizers of this event; ENGLISH ROYAL NIGHT by Muelisa and Splash Entertainment, I still believe the modest rapper deserves a special apology. Do not take a persons Kindness for weakness. 

Other reknown Genge Artistes in Kenya include Juacali,Nonini,Mejja,Madraxx, Bobby Mapesa ,Frasha,Gabu and Boneye

EXPOSED: FAKE BETTING PAGES ON FACEBOOK.KENYANS LOSE 5 MILLION DAILY TO THESE SCAMMERS

By Mkikuyu Mjaka

Betting is all about gambling, of course with new betting companies emerging on a daily basis, and with the likes of Sport Pesa, Betin ,Betika, Betway, Betyetu, MCheza e.t.c at the forefront. So far many people have emerged Millionaires from their routine betting with some earning few thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Today we expose a few scammers or call them con men /middlemen for lack of a better word. Usually to win a client they begin with the catchphrase “I’m No Scammer” if you have met such a guy in your in box. Below are the few scammers we have been able to round up within a period of two months .This list should not surprise you.

1.       Russian Fixed Matches

2.       Genuine Bet

3.       Classic Bet

4.       VIP Betting Room

5.       Imperial Bet

6.       Imperial Fixed Matches

7.       USA Fixed Match

8.       Free Fixed Matches for All

9.       Guaranteed Wins 100% Fixed

10.   Fixed Matches 1X2

NORMAL BETTING PROCEDURE: Many people prefer to bet online while others use sms as the remaining few buy tickets and submit eventually.

The scammers in essence influence their clients to purchase their tickets as away of short cut to pre meditated wins which in turn turns to be unsuccessful in most cases.

Usually they do post free matches on their timeline which they refer to as “Free matches for confidence” or “ Free matches for trust” and are mostly quite predictable even without their help.

Different scammers have varying price tags for their tickets .For instance a ticket which consists of two games costs between   100 Euros to 150 Euros .This is an approximate equivalence of Ksh 11,000 to Ksh 18,000 .

WHY THEY USE EURO CURRENCY : These scam organizations are purely East Africans with most of them Kenyan based but they use the Euro currency to confuse Kenyans since it’s  not easy for Kenyans to trust fellow Kenyans even on genuine missions .For their transactions they prefer platforms such as Western Union, PayPal, Money gram and skirl whereas M-Pesa is hardly used

In most cases if one is able to convince the scammer beyond reasonable doubt that they have difficulties using or accessing the above money transfer avenues then M-Pesa becomes an alternative and that is how we got to know these scammers are mostly Kenyans.

The worst part of it comes when you lose from the ticket you bought and they still make you believe you can recover your money by acquiring a Recovery Ticket meant to dupe you an extra Ksh2,000 ,besides neither trusted nor helpful.

In one notorious case we followed up on a complain raised by a victimized client to VIP Betting Room where we found out that they have a tendency of hiding their timeline whenever they are about to post the free matches. They usually post the target matches after hiding their timeline though with doubtful scores which are believed to be edited after the end of the actual matches. We assume they deactivate their account hence no one can view it only to resurface later with the actual scores in those matches. Anyone who might have been asleep and woke up early in the morning after the page has been activated would think the predictions were successful yet they were edited. This practice has spread into other African countries with the latest complainant being Nigerian, who also fell a victim to VIP Betting Room. Check screenshot below.

IN THE CASE OF CLASSIC BET & OTHERS

They hide the game ids and the tips at first display to show their followers that the ticket of the day is ready. Soon after the ticket is bought by the client ,it’s sent to the client via his or her whatsapp with the Game ids and tips visible .

In case of a loss they then edit the ticket with matches different from the ones in the original ticket sent and post it on their timeline captioned as “My Yesterday Ticket was a BIG WIN”  yet they lost .The scammers do this to convince others who haven’t fallen victims of their dirty tricks to buy the next available set of tickets .Fake facebook accounts are also party to positive comments alongside the posts.

OTHER THAN THE SCAMMERS: International clubs also play a big role in what we call match manipulation .Some of the teams good at match manipulation include Toluca and Necaxa from Mexico and Tolima from Colombia. In the case of a past free match posted by Classic Bet on the 23^rd of October  in a clash between Monterrey and Toluca ,the match ended in a 1-1 draw as it was in the prediction.This means the scammers collude with certain club presidents, match officials and players to fix matches against FIFA laws.

FREE ADVICE TO ALL: Stick to old betting traditions and never give scammers attention since they are out to enrich themselves without you getting a value for your money. Always remember to bet responsibly.

According to reports, the news presenter was found dead in her apartment

Capital FM confirmed the news saying “it is sad morning for them “ :   “It's a very sad morning for us at @CapitalFMKenya as we mourn the demise of our former @thejam984 presenter Grace @makosewe. #RIPMakosewe”

DIAMOND UNGRATEFULLY SKIPS AFRIMMA ONLY TO END UP LOSING AT THE MAMA AWARDS

Diamond Platnumz

By Mkikuyu Mjaka 

DIAMOND PLATNUMZ MISSED AFRIMMA AWARDS INTENTIONALLY : There is no such thing as Diamond Platnumz failing to attend the AFRIMMA because he missed his flight. The African icon had    high  hopes in  the outcome of  his category long before the D-day so it wasn't that important considering MAMA was on the way too. Being nominated with Wizkid in the same category at the MAMA AWARDS though was a clear indication of doom for the Tanzanian Star much as  he couldn’t open his eyes wide enough  to see . This is because of the   mere fact that Wizkid has lately been on top of things .Wizkid’s worldwide tour with Chris Brown and his recent works with Drake are just but a few to mention. MAMA  could be the reason Diamond decided not to board that flight to the AFRIMMA   thinking MAMA had something for him , save for Willy M Tuva’s lame  yap about the artiste missing his flight. He considered AFRIMMA worthless with a category as junior as East African best which he won of course. I mean Diamond is past East Africa according to him  , he was probably scheming for a higher level, the MAMA, where he lost terribly .

Wizkid

Diamond at the MAMA 

Despite being nominated in the African Musik Magazine Awards (AFRIMMA) 2016, the top singer was nowhere to be seen in the Dallas Texas ceremony.

Diamond Platnumz won the Best Male East Africa category at the AFRIMMAs, though he wasn’t present to receive the trophy.

A lot of speculation has been said about him missing the event but according to Willy M Tuva, the singer was supposed to attend the event but missed his flight to Dallas.ooops !! According to Ghafla He was to travel in the same flight with Tuva.

Diamond Platnumz was also on the list of performances for the AFRIMMA night, and a week ago, he had even put the event as part of his scheduled performances for October which leaves us with  the question of what happened for him to suddenly skip the event  the last minute.

Diamond wasn’t the only artists who missed the flight. His dancers also missed the flight despite the fact that they really wanted to attend the event .Rubbish, anyway we are not talking about dancers here, its was all for the same reason, save us the flight thingies. Diamond wanted to have his usual show off at the MAMA much as all he could get was a platform .Too bad Platnumz maybe an award awaits you next time .

AT THE NTV MAMA AWARDS

Sauti Sol won  best group award at 2016 MTV MAMA as Wizkid beat Diamond Platinumz

THIS PHOTO OF MIKE SONKO'S DAUGHTER KISSING ANOTHER GIRL WILL LEAVE YOU TONGUE TIED

By Mkikuyu Mjaka

They say the apple never falls far from its tree.Now you know what this means,two girls kissing each other.Maybe Saumu Sonko  aught to talk about her sexuality soon enough before it becomes an issue too tough for her father Mike Sonko to deal with.Remember politics is not just a game of numbers but image too.Meanwhile looks like Kidero has a reason to smile after all when Sonko goes down twice,one for disregarding protocol when the President was away and two for his daughter's controversial photo.Too bad for you Sonko,all we can do is wish you all the best.
