Kenyan dancehall producer and beat maker Magix Enga has finally won the war that ensued between him and Tanzanian star Harmonize over a beat he claimed Harmonize stole from him.

Harmonize’s recent hit ‘Uno’ has finally been pulled down from You Tube.

According to the Kenyan producer, Harmonize used a beat he created for the famous club banger, ‘Dundaing’ where he featured King Kaka and Kristoff.

The music producer who launched his studio worth approximately Sh5 million about four months ago, took to his Instagram account and shared a video of him singing with the Uno beats but with ‘Dundaing’ lyrics.

“Harmonize nakuona sana bro. Dundaing Refix King Kaka, Kristoffmwb. 4million views on YouTube,” he wrote.

Taking to Instagram, Magix told Harmonize to take down the song within a week or face unspecified consequences.

“Like nothing happened @harmonize_tz Gat some free beats for you bro… I’m giving you 1 week take down the song otherwise… Natoa mwenye let me put it in Swahili so that you can understand what I’m trying to say,” he wrote.

Insisting that it took him a day to come up with the ‘stolen’ beat, Magix insisted that he is not letting Harmonize off the hook.

“It took me a day to come up with the Vibe G you get. #BeatKing254 ? This s** has happened before but this time things will be different… I’m not going to allow that to happen not in 254,” he continued.

written by Mustafa Juma

Kenyan rapper Jackson Makini, alias CMB Prezzo, has refuted reports published in a section of Ugandan and Tanzanian media that he is receiving treatment at the Karen Hospital after he was recently sexually assaulted by three women in Nairobi.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with K24 Digital, Prezzo denied the allegations, citing that a section of media in East Africa have been bent on tarnishing his name since 2004 and that it is time he has to take action against them.

“I do not know where the false allegations have come from. I am well, and currently at home. From my tone in this call, you can tell on your end that everything is okay with me. (Laughs). I will ensure I dig deep into these claims so that I find out who started peddling the falsehoods. Sections of the media in East Africa have been bent on tarnishing my name since 2004. It is time I take action against them,” he said.

The reports first appeared on Uganda’s gossip tabloid xclusive.co.ug on Tuesday evening and carried afresh on Tanzania’s The Citizen on Wednesday, November 13.

The Citizen says the Mafans rapper, 39, was injected with an overdose of cocaine and Viagra before being sexually abused by three youthful women.

The publication cited “sources” as saying that the women, identified as Ruth, Vivian and Patricia, were arrested, and are being detained at Karen Police Station in Nairobi.

written by Mustafa Juma

More troubles are seemingly brewing for Kenya’s music group Ethic Entertainment.

Just a day after moral cop Dr Ezekiel Mutua spitting venom over their new jam ‘Tarimbo’ which he said was advocating for violence against women, Kenyan socialite-turned-entrepreneur Huddah Monroe has taken the musicians’ woes further after accusing them of vanishing into thin air with her deposit after striking a business deal.

Huddah who took to her Insta Story on Saturday claimed she asked the controversial singers to record a song appreciating women and their beauty.

The Huddah Cosmetics propretor went ahead to point out that she also wanted her business featured in the song.

However, the project didn’t materialize as the group, she claimed, disappeared with her deposit never to update her on the progress.

Huddah, born Alhuda Njoroge, was reacting to Kenya Films and Classification Board (KFCB)  boss Ezekiel Mutua’s post disapproving Ethic’s new song titled “Tarimbo”.

Mutua said he had spoken to google to pull down the song from you tube.

Ethic’s new jam ‘Tarimbo’ lands them in deep trouble

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Music group Ethic Entertainment have found themselves in deep trouble after releasing their latest jam dubbed Tarimbo that premiered on You tube Friday morning.

The song which has got the attention of moral cop Eziekiel Mutua is set to be pulled down from you tube.

The seemingly angry Mutua took to his social media account on Friday morning to notify Kenyans that he had spoken to google to pull down the song which he has termed as crap.

According to Mutua, the song advocates for rape of women.

While noting that promoting violence against women is a crime, Mutua has called for George Kinoti-led Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to arrest the entire bunch of musicians under Article 33, for going beyond the prescribed delimitations on freedom of expression by advocating for violence against women.

I have spoken to Google to take down the damn crap called Tarimbo by Ethic Entertainment which advocates for rape of women. Promoting violence against women is criminal. The DCI should arrest the entire bunch of musicians called Ethic, under Article 33, for going beyond the prescribed delimitations on freedom of expression by advocating for violence against women.

He says the current musicians and performers have defied everything decent societies holds dear and thrown morality to the four winds in the name of money and popularity.

He has cautioned all the clubs and DJs not to play such type of songs.

“When we banned Wamlambez people said we were killing creativity. I asked these nincompoops if they could shout Wamlambez to their mothers and they said they could. I was baffled. These so called musicians and performers have defied everything decent societies holds dear. They have thrown morality to the four winds in the name of money and popularity. My interpretation of Wamlambez and Tarimbo is that these are not artists. They are demented circus thugs hiding behind art to promote indecency. Any self respecting DJ should not play these songs. No club should allow music that advocates for violence against women. Unless decent people rise against the wave immorality in Kenya, we are going to lose a generation in the name of creative freedom. No freedom is absolute. This time round we must draw the line!” Mutua posted on facebook.

This is not the first time Mutua is engaging in a tussle with the new generation artists.

Takataka hit maker Alvindo and Gengetone singers Sailors gang are among the artists that have found themselves in trouble with Mutua over the content in their songs.

A few months ago, Mutua banned Sailors Gang’s Wamlambez from playing outside the clubs.

Controversial music artist Willy Paul is no longer new to controversies! After confusing his fans with his ‘lamba nyonyo’ hit, the gospel-turned secular musician has a new hit dubbed ‘bure kabisa’ and in its teaser video, he has paraded fully naked women.

Taking to his instagram account, Pozze posted the video captioning it “THE BEAUTY OF THE EYE CAN BE SO DECEIVING, INSIDE NI BURE KABISA!!! NEW SONG LINK IN BIO “.

“Would you like to be in my next video?? Are you a female with a big a**** and sexy body??? Speak up tumalizane,” he said.

Well, Kenyans reacted with some wondering with Willy Pozze’s smooth transition from gospel Industry to the world of secular as he featured twerking ladies in the video.

Rayvanny, just a few weeks after Willy Paul’s Chuchuma premiered on You tube now decided to premier his. Oooh Yes! It is a hit and Kenyans and Tanzanians fell in love with it.

The Bongo Star kept the conversation alive with his fans as the song hit half a million views on you tube in less than 20 hours. So whose song is Chuchuma?

written by Mustafa Juma

A few months after Kenyan Hip-Hop artist Khaligraph Jones promising a fight with Kenyan Afro-Pop band Sauti Sol, the singers seem to have honored Papa Jones’ promise and turned up for a fight.

In a video shared by Saut Sol on Instagram, the band members led by Bien Baraza are seen fighting Khaligraph, accusing him of being “emaciated”.

“Na umekonda budaa,” Bien is heard saying as they rough up the OG.

Sauti Sol said that Khaligraph had paid the price on Friday night.

They captioned the video ” Tonight @khaligraph_jones paid the price! THE REAL OGs SHALL BE RESPECTED!!! King Kaka you’re next B!t@!!! ” in what looks like a clear warning to another Kenyan rapper King Kaka.

Three months ago, Khaligraph Jones had picked a fight with Sauti Sol after bragging that he has more muscles than the group. 

In a post on his Instagram account, Jones who seems to have been hitting the gym showed off his muscles that have heavily grown before comparing them to Sauti Sol’s. 

“My one hand is same size with Sauti Sol’s legs when combines (Mkono Yangu Moja inatoshana na Miguu Za Wasee wote wa Sauti Sol Kama zimeshikanishwa pamoja, OG is OG, kitaeleweka, Meanwhile Leave Me Alone is Still Banging, The OG shall be respected),” he captioned one of his photos taken with his gym trainer.

Raila Mourns Legendary Rhumba singer

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga has send his heartfelt condolences to the family of legendary rhumba music singer Juma Toto following his sudden death.

In his message of condolences posted via his official twitter handle, Raila described Toto as a most gifted and prolific musician.

He said death has not only robbed the family but also the country, Africa and the music industry.

“The death of legendary rhumba singer Juma Toto has robbed the country, Africa and the music industry of one of its most gifted and prolific musicians. I join Juma’s fans in mourning his sudden death. May God grant peace and strength to his family at this moment of grief,” Raila wrote.

Toto will be fondly remembered by many older music lovers for a popular song ‘FC Gor Mahia’, which he composed in honour of the Kenyan soccer giants in the early 1970s.

Until his death at the age of 70 on Tuesday night at the Kenyatta National Hospital, the soft-spoken Toto, who mentored many into stardom, was the chairman of the Kenya Musicians Union (Kemu), an organisation bringing together both long-serving and up-and-coming artistes.

Toto died of suspected brain haemorrhage after he accidentally fell and injured his head last week

Toto was in the class of a few surviving veteran musicians, who in the 1960s and into 1980s excelled with performances of popular dance beats at various hotels across the country.

His contemporaries include David Amunga, Shem Tube, John Nzenze, Fanuel Amimo and Peter Akhwabi.

Citizen TV Boss Defends Journalist Who Fumbled During Live Reporting

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Victor Kinuthia, a Citizen TV reporter from Murang’a County has been the talk of the internet since last night when Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro was arrested.

Kinuthia who was put on a live link during prime time breaking news fumbled with his English while trying to explain how Ndindi Nyoro was arrested.

Kenyans flocked the internet with criticism, laughing off Victor for lacking good command of English language at such a prime time.

Some went ahead to do a challenge on the same, but was this right?

Well, some argue that the Inooro TV reporter was just ambushed to do the live link.

But Citizen TV’s editorial director Joe Ageyo has come out to defend the reporter, saying that he did his best. Ageyo argues that he has bone live links for 21 years and it is no walk in the park.

He says Victor found himself in a breaking news situation and gave it his best, being his first live report ever.

” I’ve done this for 21 years and I can tell you it’s no walk in the park. Victor found himself in a breaking news situation and gave it his best- his first live report of that kind. He’s destined for greatness. Truly proud of him,” posted Joe Ageyo.

Ageyo was replying to a Kenyan who had raised concerns over Victor’s live reporting.

“I’m nt a jrnalst, bt frm a layman’s point of view, this is a very poor feed. Ur reporter dsn’t hav gud command of Eng lnguage, fumbled a lot. I couldn’t quite make wht he was trying to explain. Wth the likes of @LinusKaikai, @Fchurii, @YvonneOkwara @jageyo i thnk RMS can do beta,” Samson Owiti, a twitter user had posted.
