Yeah, No, Definitely


Makenna Maria, Esther Passari's beautiful 16 year old daughter, has landed on the Kenyan music scene with a bang. Hate it or love it, this teen is causing ripples amongst fans and haters and her Youtube videos' comments can attest to this.
 
Her single, Yeah, No, Definitely is a bubble gum track that sees the young Passaris in colourful costumes and dancing about cheerfully in the video. But this didn't auger too well with some local music lovers.
 
Wanyongist commented; this is your first and last video u talentless twat
 
50poe said: Wow this sucks fucking balls. If this ever goes viral, you will actually become the most laughed at person video on the internet other than Rebecca Black. Literally the funniest thing I've ever seen.
 
However, not everyone was hating;
 
Freenjina2009 said: I'm not so good in judging music, but from the attention you guys are giving this chic, I bet she's got something. Give her time and I won't judge her harshly just because she is a Passaris!
 
Nedatronics commented: I actually like it. Sounds like a Disney song but her voice carries it well. You have to understand that she's 16 and that this is the most viable genre of music for her before she graduates to more "mature" music. Act like an adult and quit abusing a teenager online.
 
Wooh!!! As we told you, this young'in is causing ripples. The Katenga News Team wishes her the best in her music endeavours and appeal to Kenyans to be more tolerant. It is a bad look on us to cyber bully a 16 year old girl who is following her dream.
 

Alfayo's SAMBUSA Rated 5/10



Katenga Entertainment's very own Alfayo is currently flying high and enjoying back to back airplay on local radio stations and television stations with his new scrumptuous (pun intended) Sambusa Video.

Today the ever smiling funny man's video was subjected to Pulse Magazine's video review and he scored a 5/10. Heaps of accolades were donned on him for the superb choice of location; the white sandy beaches, open skies, the underwater marine life and the plush feel of the indoor scenes.

Good job Alfayo and the Katenga Entertainment family.

If you haven't watched the video, here you go:

Weezy Hospitalized After Suffering Seizure Like Symptoms


It seems like Ricky Rozay isn’t the only rapper that may not be caring for himself properly.

According to reports, yesterday afternoon, Lil Wayne’s private jet had to make an emergency landing after he began experiencing seizure-like symptoms.  The plane landed in Houston and he was treated at a local hospital and then released. 

His reps have released a statement saying:
Lil Wayne was successfully released from the hospital after being treated for a severe migraine and dehydration. He is at home on doctor mandated rest and will return to work soon. He appreciates all of his fans for their support and love.
According to TMZ, Lil Wayne experience a second seizure while on a plane headed to Los Angeles. Although the site has a photograph of him leaving a Louisiana hospital after the plane made an emergency landing, his reps are denying such.

Last year, fellow rapper Rick Ross experienced two seizures in one day while on a plane, and later on a private jet en route to a Wingstop opening in Memphis. Months later, during a visit to 106 and Park, he revealed that test results proved he was 100% healthy and the seizures were the cause of lack of sleep:
It was a case of me not getting enough rest, enough sleep. I would get two hours of sleep and keep moving… that has to stop.
He also told Chelsea Handler earlier this year:
I had a seizure. Basically too much weed. I wake up, I party too much, I drink too much at the parties. Then I would wake up in the morning and drink the warm leftover champagne and it took a toll on my kidney. Well really I was just extremely exhausted so I had to change up a few things. I’m trying, I’m not all the way there yet but I’m trying.[...]I’m drinking a little less.
Hopefully, these guys will learn to slow down a little.

The Katenga News team would like to wish Weezy a quick recovery.

Fergie Talks Josh Duhamel infidelity Rumors to Oprah



By Hollywood standards, Fergie (former Black Eyed Peas member) and Josh Duhamel (``Las Vegas`` actor) have been together practically forever. By which we mean nine years. These two may look like the perfect couple but they've been through tough times. 
Cast your mind back to just nine months into their then-fledgling marriage, when the Black Eyed Pea and the actor were racked with tabloid tales of alleged indiscretions on Duhamel's part. Reps for the couple denied that he had an affair with an Atlanta stripper during a one-night stand.  And while today he's the very picture of a doting hubby, Fergie sat down with Oprah Winfrey and discussed just how troubled those early relationship waters were.


"It was difficult," Fergie tells Oprah Winfrey in an upcoming episode of OWN's Oprah's Next Chapter, airing Oct. 21. 

"When you go through difficult times it – it really makes you stronger as a unit, as a partnership. It does for us anyways. Our love today is a deeper love," Fergie continues. "Definitely we're strong today because of anything difficult that's happened with us. We deal with it. We communicate. Communicating is the most important thing." 

But it's not the only thing. Duhamel admitted to Oprah that he was initially attracted to Fergie because of "how sexy she was and the hotness." 


Still, he says, "We haven't been together for nine years because of that." 

Instead, Duhamel and Fergie – who hope to have kids one day – work as a couple because, he says, "we grew up in very similar ways, you know?" 

"My mother was a teacher. Both of her parents were teachers. We both had to work for what we got. We're both Catholic," he says. "There were a lot of things that were really compatible between us. But at the end of the day, she's just an amazing girl."


Katenga News team wishes this super sizzling couple the very best in their relationship.

Drake Graduates High School




It’s never too late to get your high school diploma (read K.C.S.E Certificate).

Drake has graduated from high school 10 years after dropping out. The 25-year-old Canadian rapper took to twitter to share his good news with his fans. He said:

“97% on my final exam. 88% in the course. One of the greatest feelings in my entire life. As of tonight I have graduated high school!
Thank you to my teacher Kim Janzen for spending the last 5 months working tirelessly with me!!”

The hitmaker dropped out of high school when he was just one credit short of graduating at the age of 15 to pursue a role on the Canadian teen drama series 'Degrassi: The Next Generation'.



The 'Take Care' rapper- who was once 
romantically linked to Rihanna - recently ended his feud with Chris Brown after the pair were involved in a brawl at a New York nightclub on June 14, which resulted in a number of people getting injured including professional basketball player Tony Parker.

A source close to Chris said: "That situation has already been handled and Chris [has] no beef with [Drake.] We don't think about [him.] Drake who? That club s**t was what it was and Chris left that baggage back where it happened."

All in all, it’s good to see that no matter how much money he’s making or how famous he is, Drake still takes his education seriously. Congrats from the Katenga News Team!
