Kris Darlin might have lost in the recent ODM nominations but that doesn’t mean he’s now going to whine and cry in a corner. He still has work to do. “Life has to go on and I have to do my job as that was what I was before,” he said in an interview with Kenyans. “I am an entertainer and entertainment never stops. Everyone has to go back to work and live as brothers and sisters by sharing a meal and ideas that will […]
Ethic’s new song “Figa” is no longer on Youtube, Apple Music and other online streaming services because they apparently jacked the beat and are now facing copyright issues. Zilla, Seska, Swat and Rekless, who make up the group, it has come to our knowledge, used a beat from Puri, Jhorrmountain and Adje’s 2017 banger ‘Coño’ and …. it’s a direct copypaste. Almost hitting a million-plus views on Youtube, Figa was huge. Most remember it from NRG’s Kamene Goro’s cameo as the video vixen. Losing Figa […]
Diamond Platnumz has dated the finest ladies in East Africa and impregnated at least one in each country — Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. Tanasha’s baby shower is just three days away and it’s coming a few days after her pregnancy shoot —which was duplicated from model and rap star Saunsu BTW, …. IJTYSK (I just thought you should know). The baby shower thing has really left East Africans comparing who is the better catch among the three. It has been happening since Diamond landed Tanasha […]
Comedian Jalang’o has been investing heavily since making a name in the entertainment business. Jalas has a new investment, a recording label called HeavyJMusic that will focus on giving upcoming artists a chance to showcase their talent and win Kenyans …. like how he did with singer Masauti. If you have been wondering why Jalang’o likes praising Masauti’s music so much, especially on social media, it’s probably because he made those songs. OMG… Masauti is the first artist under HeavyJMusic (maybe not officially signed). Jalas […]

For years, Kibera rapper Stivo Simple Boy has pushed his music career but got nothing but rejections in return. Lately, it seems no one can say NO to him. After releasing his brand new song “I lift you higher” featuring Scheneider Shanny, everybody can’t help but agree Stivo has the talent and desire to be in the music business.

One of the main reasons why upcoming artists fail to reach their full potential is because of the lack of mentorship. With good mentorship, artists are able to avoid a lot of pitfalls and eventually end up being a success.

Raytalk season […]
We celebrated Jeff Koinange being picked as a judge on East Africa Got Talent Show. But I can’t help and wonder how they passed on Ian Mbugua. 9 O’clock news is important. Very. But…. Koinange has a very unorthodox way of presenting news. I hate it 😁. Also, his judging on the show is…. eeeehhh. Remember he’s only a journalist. This should have been Ian’s job. Now hear this… Kenya would have won big. These things need emotional guys and Ian is as emotional as they […]
It has been almost 20 years now since Juacali started rapping. But if you take his 2004 songs and put them right next to his 2019 ones, not much has changed other than the quality of the videos.

Answering a lot of questions this time round on how his life has changed since he got money…well, and getting married. […]
Wendy Weani is sorry. Sorry to anyone she might have let down. She’s sorry for her mum. Heck …. she’s even feeling sorry for herself. But most of all, she’s sorry of how she embarrassed comedian Jalang’o two years ago on social media. During her appearance on Citizen TV’s JKL show, the 14-year-old gymnast told Jeff Koinange how her manager Joe Mwangi has ran away with her social media accounts after defrauded her. And, …. she also shared, calling out Jalang’o on social media was […]
If you’re thinking of booking rapper Fena Gitu for a show then you better have at least half a million in your bank account. The rapper spoke to Betty Kyalo on her show “Upclose with Betty” on K24 TV where she said she might be milking in now with performance fees but starting out –a decade ago– wasn’t easy. “There was a time I couldn’t breath and now I am coming up for air, levitating,” said Fena, who, has been a trending topic regarding her […]

Madd Lion, Ish Artlives and Aluoch, who make up 8town Crew, collaborated with Detail 7 for the mural. “Ken was very supportive of his people here in Kibra and especially the youth and so we thought the best way to honour him was to have his graffiti done here in Kibra,” said Ish Artlives. So sad… Ken Okoth died on […]

Comedian Njugush recently linked up with Standard Media for a sit-down and revealed some very nitty-gritty details of how he endured all the hardship before enjoying stardom in the comedy space.

I had no idea what to do. We got broke. We had been given a fridge during our wedding […]

A Kenyan newspaper has published a list of top gold diggers in the country and ranked socialite Vera Sidika at number two. Sidika, as expected, didn’t like the report …. or the rankings. The Citizen Weekly compiled a list of over 100 women they believe top the list of slay queens and gold diggers in Kenya. The list is full of politicians and other prominent names. OMG… Vera reacted to the post through insta-stories saying it was trash …. but also couldn’t help and wonder […]
Harmonize believes he has two dads, his biological dad and well, Diamond Platnumz who fathered his music career. Therefore he can never leave him …. or his label Wasafi Classic Baby. Journalists wanted to know how comes Harmonize was taking a separate bus branded “Konde Gang” to transport his team members (Konde gang) to a Wasafi event, yet WCB Wasafi had buses doing the same job.

Zzero Sufuri has been doing so well in the music scene since surprising Kenyans with his mega-hit “Zimenishaka” a few months ago. The song went super-viral and from then, it seems, the newbie has been trying to do one of the hardest things one can pull in the music industry: maintain momentum. His new jam “Manzi” isn’t so different from his few recent projects … other than it’s lovey-dovey concept …. and, has had a struggling start. Manzi has been produced by Brayo K Wise. […]
