Mr Nice

A popular publication shocked many after they wrote a story killing this Fagilia hitmaker.

Lucas Mkenda, was trying to come back to the music industry when the news went viral. The Kidalipo hitmaker went on to warn the publication.

“Sometimes to be silent is a very big answer for fool peoples….Na bado mtaniombea sana mabaya lakini haitakuwa…kituo kikubwa cha habari kama east african vibes mnathubutu kuaminisha watu mambo ya uongo na ya kutengeneza bila hata kujali kuwa mnaniumiza vipi kwa upande wangu.

Mungu awarejeshee kadri ya mstahilivyo kwake.hii si mara ya kwanza kunizulia kifo na mambo mabaya. Sijui nimewahi kuwakosea nini au ni kwa vile sinaga tabia za unyenyekeaji wa kinafki Muacheni aliyeniumba aniamulie hatma ya maisha yangu please"

Conjestina Achieng

News came in that the former World boxing champion was dead. Conjestina, who has been ailing for sometime must received these news by shock.

Naliaka

A blog that is not credible wrote that Papa Shirandula's Naliaka was dead. What was funny about their publication was the fact that they put Nyamwalo's photo as the one that had died. What a struggle to get readers!

Owago Onyiro

Rumours of the death of this comedian elicited mixed reaction among fans as Owago later shocked many after appearing at the Churchill show recording. Is this what we call the resurrection of the dead?
