Highlights of Benga queen Princess July's life: Hit songs, awards & challenges https://nairobiinsights.co.ke/highlights-of-benga-queen-princess-julys-life-hit-songs-awards-challenges https://nairobiinsights.co.ke/highlights-of-benga-queen-princess-julys-life-hit-songs-awards-challenges

Her death made headlines with music enthusiasts remembering a decorated icon and a music queen who paved the way for many stars and whose resilience in the face of challenges inspired many.

The nine weeks preceding her death were characterized by health challenges that took a toll on her health.

She was in and out of hospital, with bills mounting as she bravely battled the health challenges.

The Benga music maestro breathed her last on Saturday evening while receiving treatment at Migori County Referral Hospital.

Her death was confirmed by family members with her son Ogudah Bradley taking to social media to convey the depth of his loss writing:

“Mamana (my mother) Princess Jully is no more. It’s unbearably hard for me.”

Her music not only entertained but also educated the audience, delving into various aspects of life.

‘Dunia Mbaya’ in which the benga maestro sang of the ravages of HIV/AIDS and its impact at a time when the scourge was wreaking havoc globally was among her greatest hits.

The song saw the Benga maestro bag the top award at the 'Benga' music extravaganza, an initiative by the national broadcaster, KBC that was undoubtedly the top award at the time.

At the peak of her career, Princess July moved the crowd with her lyrics and was declared the winner of the top cash prize of Sh100,000.

The death of her husband, Benga superstar Prince Jully of Jolly Boys Band in 1997 marked a significant turning point for Princess July.

Princess July admitted in a past interview that she could not manage her band or fight pirates who swarmed the industry at the time, stealing from talented artistes.

“When my husband was alive, he supported my music. He produced most of my songs. I even learnt from him how to produce my own music. Life was too good. My band and I used to tour places including Mombasa, Zanzibar, Dar es Salaam and many other destinations. However, when he passed on, things changed completely,” she admitted.

Determined to soldier on, Princess July produced several hit songs, bagging several awards besides touring Norway, Netherlands, Italy and Switzerland between 2001 and 2007.

A myriad of challenges would see the Benga legend relocate to her rural home in Migori in 2012.

he eked a living as a casual labourer in the gold mines in Osiri, Makalda, Komito and Kokumo, Migori County.

“I have lost close to 30 kilos ever since I relocated back home from the city in 2012 due to many challenges,” Princess July recounted in an interview in 2015.

She further recounted how those she had helped in their times of need turned their backs on her when she needed them.

“People forget those who helped them in their times of need. When I had money, everybody wanted to be around me; including friends and strangers. Now that I am penniless, nobody wants to be associated with me. None of them has even bothered to call and enquire about my well-being.

“There are times when I walk for close to 20 kilometres to the work site where I toil for my daily bread. I buy unprocessed stones and mine two to three grammes of gold, which I sell for between Sh200 and Sh300. It is better to get that small amount of money to buy food and clothes than staying idle as I wait to die.” Princess July noted at the time.

Her plight saw well-wishers rally behind her in a bid to give her another chance to rise again to the top, but this was never to be as the queen of Luo Benga music breathed her last before attaining the success that was synonymous with her name in the 90s and early 2000s.

A master of her trade, Princess July nurtured talents with her band members attaining success in their own rights, courtesy of the experience, exposure and lessons acquired while singing alongside the Luo Benga music legend.

Ohangla musicians Osogo Winyo and Onyango Alemo are among the many who found their footing after working with the Benga star.

"Keranta Confirms Breakup with Flaqo Amid Cheating Allegations" https://nairobiinsights.co.ke/keranta-confirms-breakup-with-flaqo-amid-cheating-allegations https://nairobiinsights.co.ke/keranta-confirms-breakup-with-flaqo-amid-cheating-allegations Keranta and Flaqo, once a beloved couple frequently seen together in videos and sharing their lives with fans, have recently confirmed their breakup. The situation escalated when social media influencer Njambi Fever made bold allegations, claiming that Flaqo caught Keranta cheating, which led to the end of their relationship. In a TikTok video, Njambi shared details from a supposed insider.

According to Njambi, Flaqo was deeply invested in the relationship and even bought Keranta a car. However, their relationship began to unravel amid ongoing arguments. Njambi stated that Flaqo went through Keranta’s phone and found messages suggesting she was flirting with other men, including a positive pregnancy test sent to one of them. When Flaqo confronted her about it, she reportedly chose to end the relationship. Njambi noted that while Flaqo has been healing, there are indications that Keranta may want to reconnect.

“Flaqo asked her about it, but she said she was done with the relationship. He’s been healing, but now it seems like she wants to come back, which is why there’s been so much drama online,” Njambi explained.

Despite the surrounding controversy, Flaqo has remained silent on the allegations and the breakup itself. Njambi believes he subtly hinted at the situation through his content, particularly with a recent YouTube mini-series titled "Lover Boy," which humorously addressed the breakup.

“Flaqo is at a point where he wants to talk about it, but he won’t be doing interviews. His mini-series from two weeks ago was a clever way to address it,” she said.

Meanwhile, Keranta has responded to the rumors, clarifying that her posts on social media are not aimed at anyone specific and should not be taken as comments about her ex. She emphasized that they broke up a while ago and have both moved on, urging fans to stop making unfounded assumptions.

“Nothing I post is about anybody. They’re just memes. Please don’t twist my words or paint me in a bad light. Flaqo and I have parted ways, but there’s still mutual respect,” she stated. 

Additionally, Flaqo has been seen creating content with a new woman who resembles Keranta, but he has yet to publicly address this new development.

Netizens are praising Oga Obinna for gifting a car to Dem wa Facebook. https://nairobiinsights.co.ke/netizens-are-praising-oga-obinna-for-gifting-a-car-to-dem-wa-facebook https://nairobiinsights.co.ke/netizens-are-praising-oga-obinna-for-gifting-a-car-to-dem-wa-facebook Oga Obinna recently made headlines with a heartfelt gesture by surprising his girlfriend, Dem wa Facebook, with a brand-new car during a visit to Gem Suites. Known for his public displays of affection, this generous gift followed her successful homecoming ceremony in Kitale. Obinna's act is the latest in a series of romantic gestures, including composing a beautiful song for her, demonstrating his unwavering love and commitment.

The car gift, a sleek Nissan Note, was intended to ease Dem's mobility. Previously, she had relied on cabs for transportation and often asked Obinna for cab fare. On his YouTube channel, Obinna shared the motivation behind the gift, saying, "This gift is for my baby. I want her to have her own car since she’s always asking me for cab fare whenever she goes out." His decision to present the car was driven by a desire to improve her daily life and reduce her dependence on public transport.

Initially, Obinna had planned to unveil the car during the homecoming ceremony. However, due to unforeseen complications, he had to delay the surprise. Upon discovering that Dem had traveled back to her village, Obinna orchestrated her return to Nairobi under the guise of a business meeting. This careful planning ensured that he could present the gift in a manner that reflected his thoughtfulness and attention to detail. "I was supposed to give her the car last week at the homecoming, but it wasn’t possible. When I found out she was in her village, I had to book another flight for her to come back to Nairobi," he explained.

The reveal was met with immense joy and gratitude from Dem. She embraced the new car warmly, clearly touched by Obinna's gesture. The public reaction to the gift has been overwhelmingly positive. Social media users have praised Obinna for his generosity and expressed admiration for the couple's relationship. Comments on various platforms highlight the impact of Obinna's kindness and the significance of such gestures in a world where acts of love and support are deeply valued.

Diana admits she's not prepared to marry Bahati after seven years together. https://nairobiinsights.co.ke/diana-admits-shes-not-prepared-to-marry-bahati-after-seven-years-together https://nairobiinsights.co.ke/diana-admits-shes-not-prepared-to-marry-bahati-after-seven-years-together In June 2023, Kenyan artist Bahati made a highly anticipated announcement about his upcoming wedding to his long-time partner, Diana Marua. The couple had initially set their wedding date for December 12, 2023, but unfortunately, the event did not take place as planned. They later announced that they had rescheduled their wedding for October 2024, aligning it with their anniversary month.

However, recent developments suggest that the October wedding might face further delays. In an interview with local media on September 8, Bahati expressed his frustration with the ongoing postponements. He revealed that the primary reason for the uncertainty is Diana's reluctance to finalize a wedding date. The couple had intended to marry on October 20, their anniversary, but Diana has repeatedly delayed making a firm commitment.

Bahati disclosed that Diana is now considering moving the wedding to February, but he has decided to refrain from making any more public announcements until Diana confirms the date. He mentioned his concern that repeated announcements might make him appear like he is seeking attention rather than genuinely planning their wedding.

In the same interview, Bahati shared his frustration over the constant changes in their plans. He recounted a conversation where he proposed December 12, only for Diana to express concerns about the timing due to busy schedules and travel plans. Despite Bahati’s willingness to adapt, suggesting October 20, Diana’s indecision has left the wedding date up in the air.

Diana Marua, on her part, has admitted that she is not entirely ready for the wedding. She revealed that the prospect of the wedding gives her a lot of anxiety and that she feels she needs more time to prepare mentally. Diana confessed that while she doesn’t have a clear idea of what she needs to feel fully ready, she is working towards overcoming her reservations. She hinted that the wedding might occur sometime next year but avoided committing to a specific date.

In October 2023, Bahati took a significant step by paying dowry to Diana’s family, which was a traditional and meaningful gesture in formalizing their relationship after seven years. This dowry payment marked an important milestone for the couple, even though the official wedding date remains uncertain.

Despite the ongoing delays in finalizing their wedding plans, Bahati and Diana continue to focus on their blended family, which includes five children. The family comprises three children that Bahati and Diana share, one adopted son, and Bahati’s daughter from his previous relationship with Yvette Obura. The couple remains committed to their family life and their journey together, despite the uncertainty surrounding their wedding.

Thee Pluto and Felicity Shiru, a beloved couple known for their vibrant social media presence and shared moments, have decided to end their relationship after three years. The announcement came via Instagram, where Thee Pluto addressed their separation.

In his post, Thee Pluto confirmed their decision to part ways and expressed gratitude to their family, friends, and fans for their support. He urged against speculation and rumors surrounding their breakup and emphasized their commitment to co-parenting their daughter peacefully.

“We’ve decided to go our separate ways and end our three-year relationship. Thank you to family, friends, and fans for your continued support. Please refrain from speculating or spreading rumors about our situation. We will co-parent our daughter amicably to ensure her well-being. We request privacy during this challenging time,” Thee Pluto wrote.

Additionally, in his Instagram Stories, Thee Pluto shared a reflective note: “Sometimes painful endings bring the best new beginnings.”

 Relationship and Personal Insights

Thee Pluto and Felicity Shiru welcomed their first child together in 2022. Thee Pluto also has another daughter from a previous relationship.

In a recent interview on DJ Mo and Size 8’s show, *Wild Love*, Thee Pluto revealed his frustration with unwelcome advances Felicity received from various celebrities and politicians, which he said challenged their trust and security.

He shared, “I once found celebrities and politicians in her DMs. It’s a challenge. Even if she hasn’t replied, they are still there. It’s similar to how she found my friends sliding into my DMs.”

Reflections on Their Journey

Thee Pluto also reflected on their relationship, revealing a more casual start to their cohabitation. He admitted that while he was genuinely prepared for the commitment, his initial proposal for Felicity to move in was somewhat lighthearted. However, upon her presence in his home, he felt a deep conviction to embrace the responsibility of their shared life.

“I told her to move in and give her things to a friend of ours, Musa. While I was serious about the commitment, there was a part of me that felt it was somewhat joking. But seeing her that evening, I realized I was ready for this responsibility,” he said.

Wedding Plans and Religious Differences

Despite their significant relationship milestones, the couple had not yet married officially. One major reason for the delay was their differing religious backgrounds. Thee Pluto is Muslim, while Felicity is Christian, creating a complex challenge in their plans for marriage.

Felicity previously shared, “It’s not just about making a one-day decision to become Muslim. It requires a deep understanding of the religion, and I’m not ready for that.”

The couple had frequently shared glimpses of their life together on social media, portraying a joyful family dynamic that many hoped would continue.

Bishop Kiengei's disparaging comments about content creator Pritty Vishy during a local interview have sparked widespread criticism from the entertainment industry and beyond.

In a video clip shared on social media by Pritty Vishy and others, Bishop Kiengei is heard making disparaging comments about Pritty Vishy’s appearance, suggesting she is not attractive and criticizing her talents.

The clip, in which Kiengei describes Vishy as “not appealing” and implies she is only seeking attention, quickly went viral on TikTok and other platforms.

Rapper Femi One was among those who condemned the bishop’s remarks, resharing the video and expressing criticism of Kiengei's comments.

As the backlash grew, Bishop Kiengei, formerly an ordained priest at AIPCA church and now leading his own JCM Church in Kamakis, Ruiru, issued an apology to Pritty Vishy.

In his statement, Kiengei expressed sincere regret, acknowledging his overstep and promising it would not happen again. He asked for forgiveness and invited Vishy to his church, emphasizing its welcoming nature.

“Pritty Vishy, I am truly sorry for my inappropriate remarks. I regret mentioning you in that way and hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. This will not occur again. Please feel free to visit JCM Church, a place for everyone,” he said.

This controversy arose shortly after Pritty Vishy shared her journey of self-improvement and transformation with her followers. She revealed that she is currently in the 'beauty lab,' working on enhancing her appearance and assuring fans that her new look will be worth the wait.

“I’m still in the beauty lab, working on myself, and once I’m done, you’ll love it even more,” Vishy stated, highlighting her dedication to self-love and acceptance.

She elaborated on her recent focus on embracing her true self and making self-prioritizing decisions. 

“In the past few months, I promised myself that I would learn to love myself despite setbacks. It’s been incredibly challenging, and I feel like I’m struggling to stay on track. I wish you all knew how hard I’m trying, but it seems this will be one of the toughest journeys of my life,” Vishy confessed, expressing the weight of her ongoing struggles.

Pritty Vishy has long faced harsh comments and jokes about her physical appearance. Despite this, she has remained resilient, focusing on her happiness and self-worth over societal pressures.
