Kunle Ayo And Music Stars Come Together To Beam The Light

Kunle Ayo Beam The Light concert

It is not every day that established musicians come together and share a stage for the good of humanity. This is what guitarist and producer Kunle Ayo and his friends have decided to do in May 2018, in spite of a wild beast schedule associated with their status.

The list of his friends reads like the “Who is Who” of the African musical heavy hitters – Ringo Madlingozi, Oliver Mtukudzi, Hlengiwe Mhlaba, Lebo Sekgobela and a few surprises.

“There is a brain drain of experienced and talented African musicians, and that robs the continent’s young an opportunity to be groomed properly by their idols,” says Kunle Ayo.

“As an experienced African musician spending more time overseas, recording in the studio, managing media, and administrative work, one loses the opportunity to give back to the community. Sometimes even losing touch with the challenges facing the continent.”

Kunle realized this conundrum when he was on tour discussing the challenges bedeviling the continent.

DJ Zinhle

DJ Zinhle has come out to set the record straight on Sunday Sun reports that she has found love in the arms of a Namibian businessman Collin Venaani.

According to the tabloid, Zinhle and her rumoured boyfriend Collin were seen together partying at Taboo nightclub in Sandton a couple of weeks ago.

The paper’s informants claimed that DJ Zinhle and Collin were seen getting cosy with each other.

“He showers her with extravagant gifts and treats her like a queen, along with her daughter,” a mole told the paper.
However, Zinhle has come out strongly against the reports claiming that she and Collin are just friends.

“Her home project has led to a greater interest in property, décor and design, which has opened multiple opportunities for Zinhle. Collin and Zinhle have become friends through this newly found interest,” her PR manager Jessica Porter said.

Major League’s Bandile Mbere says he was there to support his girlfriend Nadia Nakai who recently received social media hate after her no-make up image went viral.

Speaking to Metro FM‘s Mo Flava and Masechaba Ndlovu, Bandile said “she was very upset. I was trying to be there for her all the time. ( I even) skipped work sometimes to be there by her side. (I told her) things are going to be okay. (You know,) go to movies, take her out, make her forget what is going on on Twitter.”

He said he told her not to worry about the hate because it often came from people who were jealous of her.

“I have been through a time when social media also came and attacked me. I always tell her that she mustn’t worry about what people say, at least she is making money. She’s blowing up. She’s doing very well. Her song is doing very well. The attention is on her and people will try to bring her down. Unfortunately, it will be girls because probably those girls’ men are talking about her.”
