Dancehall Singer NINJA LIPSY Hospitalised

Ninja Lipsy’s health is said to have deteriorated as the dancehall star spent the Christmas in hospital.

According to sources close to her, Lipsy was taken to hospital after her
epilepsy condition got worse.

The source could however not reveal much detail and by the time of publishing, we were not able to ascertain which hospital she was admitted to.

In July on 2018 she for the first time revealed her struggle with Epilepsy.

In a lengthy Instagram post, she told of how society had shunned her and how she had lost friends because of the disease.

“Yes I have epilepsy and I have been hiding it for a very long time because I thought it as embarrassing,” she said back then.

“I have had people who left me because they too thought it was a shame to associate with someone in my condition but I have forgiven them because they don’t have knowledge or understanding of what epilepsy is, they don’t know what to do when one is having a seizure.”

“Let’s not discriminate epileptic patients, instead let’s learn more about the disease so that we can know how to help them, and to those who are suffering fro it, speak out so that you can be assisted,” she said in July.

Watch: Cindy releases video to ‘Wabata Moyo’

Produced by Zambia’s own Dj Dro and Elton Bryce, ‘Wabata Moyo’ is characterised by the intercourse of sophisticated Rhythm and Blues compositional structures with groovy African pop-music motifs.

Award winning director Andy Cutter has added his magic touch to the sensual song to give a whole new vibe.

The video features models who sailed through from the Strut ‘N” Pose competition, a model talent scouting platform for both male and female models within the Zimbabwe fashion and commercial industry.

In the video Cindy goes through the motions with different male models at a masquerade party until she finds the one who ‘touches her heart’

Again the long-serving Queen of Zimbabwean RnB goes fashion all out with every outfit showing out both her beauty and that of the song.

Tanzania bans Diamond Platnumz from performing

Top African pop star Diamond Platnumz has been barred from performing in Tanzania after he played a song which the authorities had banned for being sexually suggestive.

The song Mwanza contains the Swahili word for “horny”, and dancers are seen in a video simulating sex.

Diamond Platnumz had treated the ban with “disdain” by singing the lyrics at a concert, the arts regulator said.

The popular Tanzanian singer has been dogged by controversy in recent years.

In April he was questioned by police after posting on Instagram a video clip of himself playfully kissing a woman.

The authorities accused him of behaving indecently.

Tanzania’s arts regulator, Basata, said Diamond Platnumz would also be banned from performing abroad, but it is unclear how it would enforce this.

The ban also applied to Rayvanny, another local musician who features in Mwanza.

“We have reached the decision because the two musicians have treated our directive with disdain,” Basata said in a statement.

Exploring ‘Scara The Drummer’ – Winky D’s trusted Drummer

Delroy ‘Scara‘ Maripakwenda an energetic drummer of the Vigilance band has taken his drumming skills online.

Scara The Drummer as he is known in the music circles has been the heartbeat of Winky D’s live performances since August 2015.

He launched his drumming YouTube channel which he is showcasing his skills both on and off the stage. 

The 27 year old had a ‘drummertic’ shift from being a dancer/ choreographer to become one of the best drummers in local music industry.

Explaining his quirky story on how he became Winky D’s drummer he said:

“In 2015 late August there was a spot for a drummer in the Vigilance band. Word got to me and I wanted to try out but the artist (Winky D) knew I was a dance and choreographer. 

“A few people knew about my hidden talent until I persisted on at least getting a chance of rehearsing with the Vigilance band.

“I had only two weeks probation to impress before my first show which was a two hour set.”

In as much Winky D’s performances are always of a higher level, Scara says the Beenieman show was his best show as a drummer. This is when the band introduced ‘Aerodrums’ and it marked his first kick on stage using a high-tech drum set. 

Recently, he has been slotted in to collaborate with DJ’s at club Sankayi and Club Connect Harare branch. 

Apart from music he is currently pursuing a diploma in computer programming.
