CMB Prezzo

Popular Kenyan rapper Prezzo had disclosed that he is not in contact with his seven-year-old daughter.

Speaking to Kalekye Mumo, the King of Bling stated that his relationship with his estranged ex-wife Daisy Kiplagat was complicated.

“Marriage life was good because I got a beautiful baby girl out of that. But Daisy loved Jackson Ngechu Makini but hated Prezzo but I couldn’t let go of the brand since I took so long to build it,” stated Prezzo.

Prezzo said that he did not file for the custody of the child and did not want the nasty divorce struggles to hamper his relationship with her in future.

“I never ever went to court to claim (my daughter) because whatever is put on Google will never be erased. I don’t want my daughter to go on Google and see this conflict between her mum and her dad,” said Prezzo.

The rapper added that he was optimistic about the future but noted that he wanted to give Daisy her space.

“It’s complicated. I think Daisy just needs some time to exhale. I would never ever talk ill about Daisy because she is the mother of my child,” he added.

On whether he was violent to Daisy that necessitated the breakup, Prezzo said that he never beat her up.

“There was no violence. She gave birth to a beautiful girl for me so I have never laid my hands on a woman.”

Musician Mr Eazi spoke about some difficulties he faced before the spotlight finally found him.

Speaking as a guest on The Beat FM’s Morning Rush,  Mr Eazi said; “After I came back from Ghana, I got a job in oil and gas in Port Harcourt that paid about six thousand dollars per month but I quit because I was not finding fulfillment in it. I mean it was the same thing everyday, the same routine over and over again. The decision to quit the job finally hit me when my boss’ wife left him even with all the money he had.

“After I left my job, I got my Masters degree and with all that qualification I started selling phones in computer village and everyone thought something was wrong with me. Even my mother started praying special prayers for me but my father didn’t add that final voice that would have decided my fate.

“My break finally came after I got an invite to do two shows in London that made me twelve thousand pounds which I used to shoot two videos. When I told my mother what I did with the money she stopped talking to me for about three weeks. I had to move in with a friend because even my relatives didn’t want me around but everything finally changed when I went back to London for shows that fetched me really good money.”

The ‘Leg Over’ crooner also revealed that he charges N10million for shows and admitted to being in a relationship with Temi Otedola who is the daughter of billionaire Femi Otedola.

ABS TV is back on the airwaves!

We have learnt that  Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) has lifted the suspension on the Pastor Yiga owned TV station.

This follows negotiations between the regulator and the station’s management that saw the station given a second chance. The suspension has been lifted on a six-month probation during which period UCC will evaluate and continuously monitor all programs and content broadcast to ensure they are in line with the law and also meet the minimum broadcasting standards.

UCC had recently revoked ABS TV’s broadcasting license for repeatedly breaching the law and the minimum broadcasting standards. This after the TV station shocked the nation with a sensual news program. It had also previously come under fire for its controversial show, Kalondozi, where UCC slapped it with a fine of Ugx 25 Million.

Here’s a letter announcing the lifting of the suspension.

I slept with over 30 women to get over Wema Sepetu — BBA star Idris Sultan

Idris Sultan and Wema Sepetu

Idris Sultan and Wema Sepetu during their happier days.

Former Tanzanian beauty queen Wema Sepetu is one lass we can say has dated a lot of celebrities. Her most recent boyfriend was big brother-winner-cum comedian Idris Sultan.

The two dated for months and later broke up, citing irreconcilable differences. Idris has now come out to say he was the one who dumped Sepetu, but it was not an easy decision.

He says Sepetu broke his heart many times and he decided to walk out of the relationship, and it took him six months to get her off his mind.

He went on to tell the Tanzanian-based site, Dizzim Online that he got involved with more than 30 women to get Sepetu out of his system.

“When I was trying to get her out of my mind, I slept with or dated more than 30 women. Honestly. So I grew up!” He said.

It seems everyone who has dated this Tanzanian lass finds it hard to get her out of his mind. Diamond, who also dated Sepetu, said that it took him long for him to get over her. He said when he was with Zari, he still had a soft spot for the beauty queen.

So, why is this so? “She is a very beautiful-hearted person.” Idris said.
