Meddy, The Ben to headline Instinzi concert

Word reaching our desk is that musicians The Ben and Meddy will headline the Intsinzi concert to celebrate the re-election of President Paul Kagame this month. President Kagame registered a landslide victory in presidential elections which were held on August 4. The dates for the victory concert are yet to be confirmed.

Six years ago, The Ben and Meddy left the country for the US and did not return. Many wondered if that meant the end of their careers. Fortunately, the artistes continued with their music, releasing hits that earned them an even wider fan base both locally and in the Diaspora.

The Ben finally made it back home at the start of the year and thrilled fans at the East African Party. And our snoops have gathered that Meddy will also perform at Braliwa’s annual Beer Fest scheduled to take place at Golden Tulip Hotel in Nyamata in September.

Wema Sepetu wants a baby

Former Miss Tanzania Wema Sepetu is worried that she doesn’t have children. Last year, the former beauty queen had a miscarriage.

The former beauty queen made the revelation during an interview with Global Publishers saying that she does not intend to have children after 32 years and so if she will not get pregnant by then she will embark on the permanent procedure.

During the interview, Wema also revealed that she was no longer dating former Big Brother Africa contestant Idris Sultan, but has a lover whose identity she declined to reveal.

“This time round, if I am not lucky to get a baby, just before I turn 32 (she is 29), I will forget about being a mother and remove my uterus,” she said on social media.

Wema, who was in a relationship with celebrated singer Diamond Platnumz, parted ways with the star before he moved on with Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan.

Let’s wait and see.
