• The ex-couple had a highly-publicised relationship before it ended disastrously.

Konde Music Worldwide artist Harmonize surprised many when he refused to perform his song ‘Nitaubeba,’ which he wrote specifically for his then-girlfriend Kajala, during a live concert.

In a clip circulating on social media, Harmonize appeared full of energy on stage, performing with his shirt off due to the heat.

He then played his song ‘Nitaubeba,’ dedicated to his former lover Kajala Masanja.

“…I’m busy, folks, with my boo, I’ve said it, I’m busy with my baby, and my cross I’ll bear, and I’ll carry it through. I’ll bear it through both good and bad times, whether in trouble or hunger, and I’ll get through it like a man,” the chorus of the song goes.

Harmonize returned to the microphone, looking at the fans who were starting to enjoy the song, and stated that he no longer wished to bear the burden as it had become too heavy and he had to let it go.

“Hold on, I’m not dropping the cross; I don’t want any jokes,” Harmonize said before moving to the back of the stage.

Harmonize and Kajala broke up at the end of 2022, just six months after their dramatic reunion, which was celebrated with much fanfare at the Milimani City auditorium in June of that year.

Before Kajala agreed to reunite with Harmonize, the artist had engaged in a series of grand gestures, such as buying her a new Range Rover and posting her picture on a large billboard as he begged her to come back.

Kajala had left Harmonize in 2021 after rumours spread that he was stalking her daughter, Paula.
