A Kenyan woman has shocked social media users after publicly threatening to name the people she has infected with HIV & AIDS.

The woman who identifies herself as Ruth James took to Facebook and threatened to name over 100 men she has deliberately infected with the disease.

She made the threats in what seemed to be a revenge mission.

It all started with the middle-aged woman disclosing that she was overwhelmed by untold suffering that left her with suicidal thoughts.

“Dying is the best thing. I have suffered a lot,” she wrote.

While revealing intentions to name her victims, Ruth said that she had infected over 100 Facebook friends.

“I want to expose everyone i have given HIV. Itugona. Chuo 100 mar facebook dwa thoo gi stress . (Don’t take it for granted. About 100 Facebook users will die from stress),” she posted.

Ruth who is a mother of one daughter, judging from her Facebook profile, pointed at ostensible neglect and rejection from her neighbors at Nyayo estate as reasons for her move.

Read some of the comments below;

Joshua: You have taken a serious wrong step shemeji. Call me if you my sincere advice. Kindly delete this from your wall.

Pamba: Be very careful jaber, some of your content will land you in big trouble.Just be wise with what you share to the public.

Hagai: This is a lady who needs help. May be she doesn’t know the implications of this statement. She’s playing with fire.

Juddy: It’s not too late to pull yourself back together Ruth..You can still get up and dust yourself and move on as nothing ever happened in your life.Dont make yourself useless you still very young and your daughter needs you a lot.Plis get some counseling,it will be of great help but only if you are willing.We now know why you been acting weirdly..its clear that you are depressed.Otherwise earth is very hard.

The wife to renown entertainer George Njuguna, popularly known as DJ Creme de la Creme has reportedly dumped him and taken off with his kids.

This is after the entertainer relocated from Nairobi to Kericho bearing to the Covid-19 pandemic that has greatly affected the entertainment industry.

Reports of DJ Creme’s wife taking off after being together for almost 15 years emerged after he took to his official social media handles on Thursday July 29, 2021 to label marriage as a scam.

On his Instagram stories, De La Crème said: “Marriage is a scam. Don’t let anybody lie to you!” An hour later, on his feed, he posted a black and white photo while smoking and captioned, “Imma Be Aight.”

Speaking to one of the leading local dailies, a hesitant Creme said he was currently alone after his fiancée Denise took their two children and left.

“I don’t really want to talk about this but what I can tell you is that at the moment I am alone. My wife took the kids so I’m living one day at a time. You know as a man you just have to deal with life,” said Crème.

He added: “I am here (Kericho) where I am building a club and a restaurant…But I am easy, haina pressure. Every good thing comes to an end.”

Early this year, DJ Crème took to Instagram to announce he had finally proposed to his then-girlfriend after being together for 14 years.

Posting a photo of Denise’s hand with a ring on, the deejay admitted to putting his fiancée through a lot, adding that he wanted to love her forever.

“It took me 14 Years. 14 Loong Years to ask my Best Friend, My confidant, Mother to my kids, My Forever Person to Marry Me? I know I’ve stressed you out so many times @deekingsky, but My Heart and All I got belongs to you. I wanna Love you forever,” said Crème de la Crème.

However, a scroll through Crème’s Instagram feed shows he has deleted Denise’s photos, including the engagement one.

In 2020, Dj Crème relocated to Kericho with Denise and their children due to Covid-19 effects on his career and the entertainment industry. The deejay vowed never to return to Nairobi despite operating in the city for 17 years, saying life in the countryside was much better, cheaper, and more peaceful.

According to Crème, Denise had a hard time relocating to Kericho, having lived in the city her whole life.

DJ Creme’s break-up with wife comes barely months after gospel singer Daddy Owen had his wife Fridah Wambui walk out of their matrimonial home and got engaged to another man.

Reports indicated that Fridah had dumped Daddy Owen for a tycoon based in Gilgil.

Citizen TV presnter Willis Raburu has welcomed a baby with his Ugandan girlfriend Ivy Nyamu.

The 10 over 10 show host took to his social media accounts to post a photo holding baby’s shoes which was later followed with congratulatory messages from netizens.

Raburu further took to Instagram to post a picture of himself holding the hands of a newborn baby on his Insta stories.

About a month ago, Willis and his girlfriend had held a baby shower to welcome their child, which was an invite-only event which detailed the progress of the day filled with games and sumptuous meals.

Last year, Raburu and his ex-wife Marya Prude went their separate ways after losing their child. The couple reportedly ended things on allegations of cheating forcing Marya to move out of their matrimonial home in Phenom Estate, Langata.

Arguably surpassing all profane instances that ever scorched the world is the trendy narrative that easily leaves one contemplating.

These black sneakers , Air max 97 associated with the American born rapper and singer Lil Nas who had the shoes purposely made to accompany his anticipated song Montero “call me by your name”.

The shoes have a bronze pentagram written Luke 10:18 that reads “I saw Satan fall like lightening from heaven”.

The ultimate profane signal is that the company was instructed to produce only 666 pairs of the Nike air max 97s as “Satan shoes”.

The sneaker has a Air Bubble sole that contains 60 Cubic meters (2.03 fluid ounces) of red ink and one drop of human blood.

MSCHF a small Brooklyn based company that is associated with the production said that each pair went for $1,018 equivalent to kshs101,800 and the perplexing fact is that the 666 pairs were purchased in a period of less than a minute despite the briskness in the process of sale.

Nike has denied authorizing the making of the shoes and has sued MSCHF over trademark infringement for the customized Satan shoes.

Speaking at the US District Court of New York, Nike said it did not approve the controversial sneakers and asked the court to instantly stop MSCHF from selling the shoes though it happened that the sneakers were already bought.

The Bible verse on the mudguard of the shoes is numbers 10:18 which weirdly relates to the shoes retail price ,$1,018. The shoes were launched on March 29.

Jubilant fans applauding the standout expression of queerness have been quelled by conservative Leaders indifference amongst them the governor of South Dakota who expressed his anger by criticizing this act.

The rapper who was behind all this remained unmoved even as this act seemed to divide people. . He hit back on the governor and other critics saying they should not be bothered by a sneaker.

Culture

Momentarily this sneaker remained so essential in the selling of the music . On launching the it remained the most streamed video ;on YouTube the video achieved 33 million plus views becoming the weekends most trending song. Getting to Spotify it got streamed more than 9 million times becoming the number one song on itunes.

Thematically, the song has managed to confidently speak about homosexuality where the Rapper regrets spending his entire teenage life in the dark with fear that he might get judged.

Speaking about the lyrics the rapper explains that each word has its own stand out meaning. As he concludes he does it in an angelic humming “mmmmh” which he says is like a nod or a head signal and more of a mating call.

He puts it clear that he is doing it for his fellow LGBTQ community members whose voices have been shut by the conservative critics.

He started writing the lyrics right after visiting his boyfriend who he felt was not free and he felt he should talk about it.

The song remains a major hit allover though as it surfs the universe critics are coming up to speak up for what they believe in.

Celebrated radio Presenter Alex Mwakideu on Thursday, January 28, tore into controversial blogger Edgar Obare over his continued nature of exposing celebrities.

Obare has been exposing various scandals of most celebrities through his official Instagram account, which has a huge following mostly from women who are interested in his exposes dubbed ‘tea’.

Obare manages to expose celebrities by being provided with screenshots of private messages, leaked videos and sometimes goes live with some people who go on to expose certain celebrities without fear.

Some of the exposes range from estranged relationships, to someone’s private life.

Well, several celebrities have fallen victims of Edgar Obare’s ‘tea’.

Victims of this ‘tea’ include Milele FM’s Alex Mwakideu, Kiss FM’s Felix Odiwuor populary known as Jalang’o, DJ Mo and his wife Size 8, and the latest on the list being the Wajesus family’s Kabi wa Jesus.

He also advised Kabi Wajesus to ignore the expose and continue with his life normally.

“Unapiga ma screenshot, nakupigia simu una record, natuma video unasave, za nini? Kisha tukikosana kidogo, chai…

Si Jalang’o amewekewa chai hapa na maisha inaendelea, Mwakideu nimeekewa, DJ MO, Wa Jesus, maisha itaendelea tu, hatuogopi chai,” Mwakideu said.

Obare has been in the limelight in exposing celebrities and posting gossip stories crowdsourced by his followers on Instagram which he shares on his Instagram stories which has a large audience that he has now monetized.

While exposing Kabi Wajesus by serving his famous ‘CHAI’, Edgar Obare posted a screenshot conversation with a lady claiming to be the cousin of his baby mama that has alleged Kabi Wajesus has a seven-year-old girl that he has refused to associate with or support.

The gospel YouTube vlogger, Peter Kabi,  happily married Milly Wambui alias Milly WaJesus who have served nothing but serious couple goals on is reportedly not answering calls from his baby mama and her family members even the lawyer has been served a buffet of blue ticks.

Edgar Obare has in the past exposed Jalang’o of alleged infidelity, a scandal that rocked the radio presenter’s life for a while.

Tanasha Donna has responded to those trolling her over being snubbed by Bongo star Diamond Platinumz during a live performance.

Tanasha and Diamond were recently performing on stage when the Bongo star appeared to have ignored her kiss.

Due to this, as usual Kenyans never lack something to say for they had an opinion on exactly what happened .

This prompted the singer to react about the video after a fan reminded her of the incident on Instagram.

As it appears, the Gere hitmaker does not mind what people think and wants them to “have fun”

The short clip went viral on social media with many having different views as to what really happened between the two. This led to Khaligraph Jones’ wife,  to fiercely defend Tanasha from online trolls:

 “It’s not fair at all” Well, Tanasha has finally shared her thoughts while replying to a fan who commented on her Instagram post where she posed for beautiful photos alongside her son Naseeb.

The fan named @tilesmombasa_, defended Tanasha saying the incident was misinterpreted as she was not trying to kiss the Bongo star but whisper something to his ear.

@tilesmombasa_ It is what it is. Let them have fun recreating the whole scenario,” she wrote.

However, she did not confirm if the fan was totally wrong or he did have the best idea of what really happened.

 Her reaction showed she did not really care what people thought of the incident and was comfortable letting them create their own assumptions.

For a week now, we have been enslaved in Betty Kyallo’s world of suspense. But what is it Betty wants to show us? That has been the question in the minds of many Betty fans if you ask me.

After her divorce with journalist Dennis Okari, the beauty has been looking to live a life of happiness and growth in every second of her life.

Speaking of happiness, her daughter Ivanna, as I can argue out is the main trigger to her smile. Today, she got a certificate of her first day at school. Oh how happy Betty is.

With her daughter, Betty spends countless hours traveling around Kenya and spending her time in posh places as seen in her Instagram stories. But away from that now, what is the big thing in store?

Surprise! Surprise! Betty has just revealed the big secret. A new posh Barbershop! What an achievement for our beloved.

As stated in her IG moments ago, “Ladies and Gentlemen, I introduce to you, AFTRERSHAVE BY FLAIR! A new Barbershop that is going to be a man’s Piece of Heaven! Upper hill we are finally here! Tonight I open the doors to this amazing location and I’m just so excited to finally share it with you! “

Who could be any happier for betty than her fans and family? Susan Kaittany and Sandra Dacha among others took it to social media congratulating her on achieving such a feat.

Growth in Betty’s life is so essential, to help her raise her child as a single mum and contribute largely to her extended family.

Personally, it gives her a sense of strength, having gone through difficult times in the past. Just to mention, the trouble of conflict between her and her various employers, the heart break from her divorce, the fear of losing beautiful Ivanna to a deadly disease… I mean, more could be said about Betty’s painful past, but as for now, the mood is elated at this new adventure she’s jumped into.

This accomplishment however does not mark the end of her quest to living a really successful life. As we all know Betty is at the paciest, strongest and hungriest point in her entire life.

She is set to crowd the plate in the barter’s box and prove to everyone she’s been bringing that flair since 89’, as she likes to mention in her posts.

From The Posh Place, to Flair by Betty in Rose Avenue, Kilimani, to Aftershave by Flair, we can’t get enough of Becky, and sure as anything else she is not just about to stop.

As characterized by Betty, joy and belief in yourself plays a big role in overcoming your past, by simply creating a new future. However, the most important detail in all this is the fear and adoration of God, as she always says.

Nigerian music sensation Yemi Alade is officially off the market, or maybe not.

This is the hot debate currently going on in online chat forums with confusion reigning.

This is after Alade posted pictures of what looked like a traditional wedding between her and fellow singer and music producer Patrick Nnaemeka Okorie popularly known as Patoranking.

The photos capture the happy couple dressed in similar colors surrounded by friends and family members.

Patoranking also posted the pictures on his social media pages with the caption “Mon bebe,” which received a sweet response from Alade, who said “I’m glowing when I am with you.”

Alade and Patoranking were congratulated by colleagues in the entertainment industry even as a section of their fans expressed pessimism over whether the two had really tied the knot.

Many of their fans argued that it was a publicity stunt for a soon to be launched collabo.

If you thought Tanzanian songster Diamond Platinumz only has a child with one Kenyan woman, then you are wrong.

Diamond is believed to have dated women from almost all the East African countries, having sire children with Uganda’s Zari Hassan, Kenya’s Tanasha Dona and Hamisa Mobeto from Tanzania.

Surprisingly, another Kenyan lady is trying to add herself on the already long list.

In 2017, a video surfaced of an Eldoret woman claiming the Tanzanian Singer is the father of her daughter.

She claimed that she met Diamond in Eldoret in 2014.

“I became friends with Diamond Platnumz in 2011 on Facebook. By then, I was working in Saudi Arabia. We met on Facebook and met three years later. He had a show at Sports Club, Eldoret, Kenya, and we had a one-night stand. We didn’t use protection and he gave me Sh50,000,” she said.

The 39-Year-Old mother of two further claimed that she travelled all the way from Eldoret to Tandale, hoping that Diamond Platnumz would accept him and take responsibility for their child.

She, however, met the singer’s mother who chased her away, saying her son would never bed a woman like her.

Responding to the woman’s claims, mama Dangote dismissed her as insane.

“Huyo dem ni chizi. Ashakuja hadi nyumbani kwangu,” she said during a phone call interview with Ubuyu.

But today, another video of the same lady stuck at a Likoni police station has yet again emerged after efforts to reach him failed.

The woman who has now been identified Elizabeth Nafula from Eldoret is still claiming to have been impregnated by Diamond Platinum.

The video posted on Instagram by Radio Maisha’s Billy Miya showed the woman stranded at the Likoni police station after efforts to reach Diamond Platinumz failed.

She claimed she was a receptionist at 64 Resort and Restaurant in 2016 where Diamond vibed her and the one night stand resulted into a bouncing baby girl.

She has stayed with Dimond’s mother Sandra for sometime now but never managed to see Diamond.

The mother of one and her baby daddy seem to have rekindled their love and they partied together on Saturday night.

A video of them dancing and performing their Gere collabo has gone viral, igniting mixed reactions.

The former couples thrilled fans and audiences last night when they performed their hit single ‘Gere’ on stage.

The performance was at the Wasafi’s Tumewasha Festival left fans with no doubt in their minds that the two still have chemisty.

It doesn’t help that Diamond’s brother Romy Jones let it slip that Tanasha woke up in Diamond’s arms and bed.

Romy Jones took to the comment section and asked why Esma did not also post the photo of Tanasha making the bed.

Diamond shared photos with his fourth child Naseeb Junior, and his fans were mesmerised by their uncanny resemblance.

The singer’s mother Sandra Kassim aka Mama Dangote shared a photo of him and his son and captioned it,

TOM KAKA ANA WAZOOM WAMBEA. JEE WATAONGEA NINI JUU YA MFANANO WAKE YEYE NA DINGI 😅.

Award-winning Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong’o on Friday, January 22 came under a heavy attack from a section of Kenyans on Twitter after she responded to Tourism CS Najib Balala’s claims that she has been inaccessible for the past five years.

Balala had responded to criticism from Kenyans that the ministry had ignored Kenyan celebrities by choosing foreigners as its ambassadors.

This was after Balala announced international model Naomi Campbell as the Magical Kenya ambassador.

The Hollywood actress  went on to  respond hours after Najib defended the ministry’s decision to pick British supermodel Naomi Campbell as the tourism ambassador.

“I know everybody is asking why not Lupita. Lupita has commitments and her managers cannot allow us to access her. We’ve spent the last five years looking for Lupita,” Balala said.

The CS Thursday faulted people who have castigated the ministry for failing to appoint a Kenyan to the post, saying they make appointments while targeting specific markets.

According to him, Campbell offered her services to Kenya for free.

“We have a framework to work around her and she accepted to do it for free. She offered herself because of her love and commitment to Kenya. We are now working on the details on how do we use her to promote the destination,”  Balala said.

On Twitter, Lupita hash-tagged her response to the Ministry of Tourism saying she was available, #Imrightherebaby #alternativefacts accompanied with a picture of her laughing ironically.

“Me when I hear the Kenyan Ministry of Tourism has been looking for me for fives years,” she captioned her tweet.

Her comment attracted mixed reactions from all over the world. Here are a few;

Perhaps Lupita was not keen on taking the job? Also, saying Balala should have called her dad makes me wonder…is she 12? She’s a grown woman, well able to decide what calls to take.

Pia…if she’d taken this job there’d still have been things to say to discredit her, no?

— Kambua (@Kambua) January 22, 2021

Lupita has answered Tunajibu. If you’re going to pick a fight with the People of Seme, first ask Jo Gem what they saw in Kambare in 1906.

— Gabriel Oguda (@gabrieloguda) January 22, 2021

If you truly are proud of your Kenyan roots then no one will have to look for you. Everything would happen naturally. You’ve shown no appreciation for your Kenyan fans either. Continue sneaking in to the country which you’ve hardly visited since blowing up.

— Kiigen K. Koech (@KiigenKoech) January 22, 2021

Apparently, it’s easier to acces Trump than to access you!

— Tony Olaka (@TonyOlaka) January 22, 2021

This Lupita story is one more reason why I’d never defend anything the govt says.

— Agent Aminu. (@NI_Mensah) January 22, 2021

We don’t need you now, we got Naomi 😂

— Kargo 🇰🇪🇰🇪 (@DK_Kago) January 22, 2021

Its worth the laugh…pick up the phone and call Kisumu county CEO…hey we want your daughter here tomorrow, and it’s done

— Myles Castrol junior (@MylesNjagiN) January 22, 2021

Kusema ukweli, since winning the Oscar, there is a perception of aloofness from many Kenyans. Not to mention the stories of your security team roughing up ordinary locals. This has left many of your fans disappointed.

Kenyan award-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o has finally spoken on claims that the government’s ministry of tourism has been unsuccessfully been trying to reach her for the past 5 years for an ambassadorial role.

Tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala defended the recent appointment of supermodel Naomi Campbell as Magical Kenya’s international ambassador, saying the appointment is set to market Kenya through the model’s international networks.

Balala said this as he faulted people who have castigated the ministry for failing to appoint a Kenyan in the position, saying the ministry makes the appointments while targeting specific markets.

On the question of the suitability of multiple award-winning Kenyan Hollywood actress Lupita Nyong’o for the role, Balala said his ministry had unsuccessfully tried to get in touch with Ms Nyong’o for five years now.

“I know everybody is asking why not Lupita. Lupita has commitments and her managers cannot allow us to access her. We’ve spent the last five years looking for Lupita,” Mr Balala said.

The CS was speaking during the issuance of certificates to some 60 researchers who did studies on the impacts of Covid-19 on travel and tourism industry in Kenya last year, at the Kenyatta University.

However, while responding to Balala’s claims, Lupita laughed off, indicating that she was very much accessible, and that there is no any government ministry that had tried to reach her.

“Me when I hear the Kenyan Ministry of Tourism has been looking for me for fives years. #Imrightherebaby #alternativefacts,” she tweeted.

Lupita’s post stirred mixed reactions, with netizens joining her in castigating Balala for making the ‘false’ claims.

A section of netizens argued that African politicians have a norm of embarrassing themselves.

Some claimed that Lupita’s father, Governor Anyang Nyong’o is easily accessible, and that the ministry could have reached her through the father instead.

Controversial singer Esther Akoth popularly known as Akothee has slammed African women, over what she has termed as being jealous of each other.

Taking to her official Instagram account, Akothee questioned why African women find it hard to support one another while referencing the relationship between US first ladies after their photo went viral.

The boss lady posted a picture of Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama and DR Jill Biden and asked women to put aside jealousy and embrace love and not hatred.

Her post brought about different reactions from fans with some wondering how the reality would be possible, others agreed with her unwillingly.

Mama Rue however posted a picture of the former US first lady Michelle Obama, the incoming one, DR Jill Biden and the new vice president Kamala Harris.

She then captioned the photos with statements that started a conversation on what it would take to have African women love and support each other. She wrote:

This could be us African women in Africa 22 ,but the witchcraft on this streets will not allow another woman support women seat to bring change , all they see is competition . These are Women girls are in competition . And nobody should insult me since I have not mentioned anyone. I am not talking to you.”

Karingi Gakuo commented:

”Women empowerment goals.We should learn from them,We need to support each other other than hurl stones at each other.”

@Josephine Muthoka said:

”Madam boss you have nailed it as always…. The Americans inherited the Abel’s blood n Africans got Cain’s as written in Bible.”

@Jeddy Gibbs Ohanga said:

”These women are supported by their husband’s and the circle’s their husband’s are in. Here in Africa-Kenya, husband’s wants wives to submit and stick to wifely duties. If you try to grow, you are branded hard headed and a competition. Anyway, what do I know? Women voters are more but they only vote for men, why? Because no man is behind a woman who wants to be a leader. Women also luck financial muscle coz money is with men. The question is how do we rise on our own?”
