Rappers Bull Dogg and P-Fla are said to have put their ‘beef’ on the side to work together, according to our snoops. Bull Dogg and P-Fla are former members of Tuff Gangz which is headed by Jay Polly but they left the group three years ago after a lot of bickering in the group.

Although they left the group, their friendship was not good seeing as they were not talking when they were still in the group and after four years, our snoops say that the rappers have decided to reconcile and have even released a song together.

Our snoops further tell us that the rappers are also collaborating on other songs that are due to be released early March.

Anita Pendo

Popular radio presenter, emcee and DJ, Anita Pendo, was not happy after our snoops landed on her pictures cozying up to a yet to be identified guy. Pendo, broke up with her longtime lover Producer David, mid last year.

Since then, her status was not known until recently during a soccer game between AS Kigali and Police. Our snoops landed on Pendo with another guy seated in a corner.

However, that was not a problem until she realised that some pictures were taken. This didn’t go down well with her and she complained, saying that her boyfriend likes to read news and he might see the pictures. Our snoops tried to establish the identity of the guy but in vain.

What happened between Pendo and her boyfriend is what our snoops are still trying to find out. We’ll keep you posted.

Riderman

People have been wondering what happened to famed rapper Emery Gatsinzi aka Riderman’s album launch?

Last year in December, Riderman was supposed to launch his sixth album but somehow the album never came through.

Well, our snoops have discovered why Riderman didn’t launch his album. In December, all weekends were booked. The first week had Tom Close’s album launch, second week had Jay Polly’s launch that was a big flop, third week was King James’ launch and the last week of December was the East African Party featuring Tanzanian musician Diamond Platnumz.

Our snoops have since learnt that Riderman decided not to clash with any of the events. January was not a good month since most students were back at school, February had Miss Rwanda activities but finally he’s settled on March when students come back for holidays.

Is Kidum an alcoholic?

Kidumu

Surely, this will come as a shock and bad news to fans of Burundian-Kenyan based musician Kidum but our snoops landed on reports that he might be fast becoming an alcoholic.

According to our snoops, after consulting with their sources in Kenya, they were told that Kidum hasn’t been seen in public for a long time and this comes as a result of an alcoholic problem that started when he broke up with his wife.

More reports from our snoops say that Kidum’s camp is tight-lipped about the situation. He still continues to perform at various shows outside Kenya but his personal life might not be well.
