MAMAs UGANDA VENUE CANCELLED

The possibility of Uganda hosting the MTV Africa Music awards this year has gone down the drain. Sources from the MTV UK headquarters have revealed that the venue has been changed after Uganda's capital Kampala, was attacked by terrorists last Sunday, killing over 60 people. It is still not clear where the next possible venue will be.

CHIWAWA IS A PROUD FATHER

Hip-hop musician Chiwawa is a proud father. His son Jabali was born last Sunday. Chiwawa says he's naming his up-coming album after his son. "This album will be clean, no beef songs," he says. However, all the dis tracks have been put in a mix tape called 'Beef and Toothpicks', already doing rounds in music stores and events.

CMB PREZZO'S HEAD SECURITY NOW A FREELANCE!!

Wonder why CMB Prezzo has been spotted in many entertainment joints without his security detail? Wonder no more. His head security, popularly known as Oti, has gone freelance since Prezzo is not able to sustain him on a daily basis as he used to. Oti has been seen in the company of top politicians and businessmen, whom he has been guarding for the past few months. Inside sources say that Prezzo only calls Oti once in a while, especially when going to particular joints, especially in Westlands. More information indicate that a security institution in Israel has sponsored Oti to do a six-months security training course. He's set to leave in September.

AY TO FACEBOOKERS: AM ALIVE AND FINE!

Facebookers have gone crazy! Last Sunday they were spreading rumors that Nameless got an accident in Mombasa, which was a big lie. This evening it's about Bongo musician AY, whom they are saying is dead. AY is so much alive and disgusted by the haters who are spreading bad rumors all over. Among the first musicians to call AY when the rumors started spreading was Uganda's Bebe Cool, who confirmed by posting an update on his Facebook status.

KAMPALA BOMB AFFECTS MTV PLANS ON MAMAS

Sunday night's bomb blast, that killed 65 people in Uganda's capital, Kampala, has affected plans for MTV and Zain to host MAMAs in the country. According to a very inside source, a high level meeting was called yesterday in London, the MTV headquarters, to discuss the matter, mostly because the blasts occurred in entertainment joints. Although it's not clear what was the outcome of the meeting, it's possible that the venue might change.
"MTV is a big event, must be done indoors and the capacity should be over 3,000 people. If the terrorists managed to kill 65, the 3,000 plus MTV fans would be a successful job for them," said the source. "And in MAMAs, we have artistes from all over Africa, Europe and America. The damage would be really bad."
Tanzania is still not a very good venue for the awards since they don't have a good venue.

ABBAS AND CHIWAWA TO FACE OFF NEXT WEEK

It's time to make money! The beef is now on the table and they are taking it on the stage. Next week, Friday 23, the big show will go down. Venue? The Carnivore. They will face each other for the first time, after months of serious beef, accusing each other of all sorts of things. The latest attempt to put the two hip-hop artistes in one room was done four weeks ago, where a couple of hip-hop producers wanted them to declare a truce. Fifteen minutes later, Abbas walked out of Phoenix Studios in Adams Arcade, where the meeting was. He said he could not sit in the same room with Chiwawa, and told the producers to email them if any worthy developments were realised. I wonder what will happen on Friday, where they will have to face each other in front of their fans!
According to the Carnivore, security will be beefed-up to avoid any ugly incidences, coz this one looks real ugly.

HELLON, QUINCY, KUYU AND ARUNGA: THE DRAMA SO FAR.....MADNESS!

Apparently, the house in Kitisuru where the four went after being evicted in Runda, is not theirs. They were not renting it out either. The house belongs to one of Hellon's friends who gave them refuge for some time. And now they are out and they are being housed by Aaron Rimbui, a former member of the Finger of God Church, in Kileleshwa.
The truth is, these guys are very desperate. They need money. The only thing left is their music school in Spring Valley, where they rent anyway. Last month, the school had a rent arrears of Sh300,000, while their house in Runda had arrears of Sh600,000, that's why they were evicted. After eviction, they went to see Kuyu's dad (Kuyu is Hellon's wife), looking for money to settle their rental issues. Kuyu's dad decided to write a Sh300,000 cheque to the LANDLORD, not Hellon or Kuyu. That, prevented them from using the cash to do other things. Further, he advised the couple to use an extra room as their shelter before they sort their problems out. And the worst thing is? Hellon rudely told Kuyu's dad: "We are here to look for money, not advice." And Kuyu said that she will always support her husband Hellon. Very sad.
Now, the Maroon mercedes benz. It does not belong to Kuyu. Actually it's owned by Kuyu's mum, and now they have been frozen to use it. That's why they went to Subru Motors two weeks ago, looking for a way of trading in Esther's BMW for a Range Rover sport. But it didn't work coz they didn't have a log book.
Will these people ever get help? Or will they ever get back to their senses?

FALSE RUMORS ON NAMELESS SPREAD ON FACEBOOK
