On the grapevine

Frank Joe in Mombasa Good news to all fans of Frank Rukundo! Last week we reported that the “Rosenne” star was contemplating quitting the music industry for greener pastures. However, the buzz now is that he is instead working on a comeback! Who knew that the very Butare University fresher would easily put aside his degree in Business management and stick to music? This is true, just like his role model, the Grammy Award-nominated American R&B singer Joe Lewis Thomas, Frank Joe promises to change Rwanda’s entertainment scene with a new image. It’s rumoured that the well built and humorous singer, is spending sleepless nights working on his new video whose title is yet to be communicated. Meanwhile, scouts recently spotted the star in Nairobi and now we hear he is in Mombassa. We wonder why on earth he is heading to........ God knows. Frank Joe has just released his song, “Diana”, a hot hit which has captured some, if not all the local radio stations. Maybe he’s applying his Academic degree in his music after all. Kudos Frank Joe. Cadillac’s VIP opening soon Word reaching us is that Cadillac’s VIP is soon to start. This month, Cadillac’s Kobra sent tongues wagging that he is doing his best to transform Cadillac into the most modern discotheque in the country. We have also heard that that the mogul has already hired professional DJs and has improved the interiors of both the new Cadillac VIP and the old Cadillac. Tom Close on new heights ‘They say the sky is the limit.’ We hear our own local celebrated vocalist who goes by the stage name Tom Close is taking his music to another level. A second source has it that the fine-looking RnB singer has not only gained fame on the local scene, but is gaining prominence beyond borders. Scouts say that the famed ‘Kuki’ star, and second-year medical student at the National University of Rwanda is busy working on his new bombastic flavour. Contact: lindaonly2005@yahoo.com
