Naming something is a huge task whether it’s a political party, school, pet or newborn baby but for somelike Ninja Lipsy not so much
Ninja Lipsy – Picture Instagram
But we have had some bizarre musician names in Zimbabwe whose origins are as baffling as the names themselves.
But others have given themselves such sexy names we can’t even relate to their real names even if we were told of them.
I can bet my last bond coin that none of y’all have ever heard of a name called Tendazvaitwa Chitimbe.
The surname, yeah you might have but ‘Tendazvaitwa?’ shbhbyewuuoj!!!!!!
That’s the real namedancehall singer Ninja Lipsythe Ninja part came about when she and the Ninja President Winky D were buddies.
The sexy chanter took to Instagram to reveal the origins of her name and we knew it that it had something to do with romance.
In a video she starts by telling people to take care of their lips, she suggests that everyone has to put something on their lips to make them look good.
And in that same video, she reveals that she got her name lipsy because she loves her lips
There you have it, fellas , She got her names from her LIPS
Alfred Kainga staged his maiden homecoming show to a sold-out crowd at the Reps Theatre Friday night and boy did he prove why he made Kevin Heart laugh!

From the very first joke, the Alley Cat captured the entire audience and had them eating out of his hands throughout his hour-long set
Kainga touched on many subjects including American politics and how he reacted to the news that the President-Elect then Mr Trump would deport immigrants.
He also talked about his life in the US and explained that he took too long to come back home because he didn’t have the right papers.
Not to be spared out of the conversation was our dilapidated state of roads and the corrupt police as Kainga took a roast at these two ills.
One of his jokes that blew the roof off of Reps Theatre was when he said that one of his first jobs in America was selling Vacuum Cleaners ‘Literally I was selling mitsvairo’ he said to a thunderous applause.

Kainga took a dig at Olinda telling the crowd that he had been warned that there were people who liked preying on celebrities.
However, it was disappointment for the many comedy lovers who were turned away after the show sold out. Had the organisers Xtratime Entertainment and Nash Paints anticipated this oversubscription probably they would have chosen a bigger venue.
And then that boy Tinaye Wayne

22-year-old Tinaye performed a joke about Robert Mugabe that sent a painful awkwardness throughout the Reps Theatre.
He told the audience that he hated Robert Mugabe because Robert Mugabe was ugly and had killed so many people.
At this moment even the ones who were drowning a few beers retained their soberness, Dr Chamu Chiwanza who is a great admirer of the President was seated in the front seat a few metres from the young comedian just stared with utter shock and disbelief
At this point, every of Tinaye’s friend and acquaintance might have contemplated distancing themselves from the UZ student.
We actually visualised the boys in black suits and dark sunglasses drag the pint-sized Tinaye from the stage into an Isuzu Vehicle for some ‘questioning’
Of course, he is a University of Zimbabwe student so we expected it since peeps from there are known for their notoriety.
He then dropped the bombshell.
“Robert Mugabe akauraya vanhu vakawanda especially paanosanga na Julius Nyerere.”
And with that, the boy earned legendary status as Reps Theatre ripped apart with great laughter.
Q Dube was a great host as he took us down memory lane to the time when there were no mobile phones but we had to depend on landlines to call our loved ones.

He also chronicled his first initiation into the world of porn watching. Q’s jokes were some real-life stories that were laced with great humour and showed the intelligence of the Power FM breakfast show host.
Another opening act South African based Long John also dropped some jokes about his hometown of Chimanimani.
He also dwelled into the world of porn and said that slow internet in Chimanimani was depriving his people of the visual pleasures
Alfred kainga’s homecoming show brought to us by Xtratime entertainment and Nash Paints was as flawless as it was magical, One to remember for a long time.
The wait is finally over and the speculation has been put to rest Alick Macheso is releasing an album on the 21st of March 2016 titled Tsoka Dzerwendo.
The release of the album will take place at the Harare International Conference Center on March 24.
Some were saying Baba Sharo had lost his creative juices hence we see Jah Prayzah dominating the Kingdom that once was his.
It’s almost FIVE years since we last heard from Macheso.
And in that period, a hell lot of things have happened.
Here are the 5 things that have happened since the last time Macheso released an Album

A team of 50 doctors broke new ground in 2014 by successfully performing the first major operation on Siamese twins born in April.
The operation was an eight-hour delicate procedure at Harare Children’s Hospital.
And now the twins, who were born sharing the same liver, are healthy and were shown on ZTV kicking a soccer ball in their hood.
It’s been long Baba Sharo.
Miss World Zimbabwe has had Five Queens in Two-year reigns.
Tendai Hunda
We have crowned Five Miss Zim Queens in a space of Two years following a series of dethronement mainly caused by the leaking of the models’ nude pictures.

Emily Kachote crowned and dethroned in 2015 because of an alleged nude picture, Annie- Grace Mutambu replaced her and went on to represent the country in China in 2015.
It’s been long Baba Sharo.
Tinopona Katsande and Pokello got married
Elikem paid a reportedly $25 000 pride price
They did what they did, then did who they did and now are doing whoever they are doing.
Both girls released sex tapes but as grace would find them (Put your Papa, Prophet, Pastor voice here) the two are now enjoying marital bliss.
And Tin Tin got fired from her job at ZiFM but again as grace would locate her, she had a miracle baby boy and is enjoying the experience of motherhood.
It’s been long Baba Sharo.
Xndr and Zale have taken 280 selfies

We got introduced to a hot new couple in the Showbiz industry Zaleekhah Khan and Anonzi Xndr Mutumha since Macheso and Tafadzwa exited the scene.
They have had their affection well documented on all social media platforms and have splashed selfies all over them.
Indeed, they have left an indelible memory in the short time we got to know them, follow them on Instagram here @zali.babyand @anonzixndr
It’s been long Baba Sharo.
And oh… Undertaker has lost a Wrestlemania match
Down and out..The UnderTaker
On April 6, 2014, The Undertaker walked into the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, ready to win again.
At 49, The Dead Man — whose real name is Mark William Calaway walked by 21 caskets, all labelled with the names of the fighters he had beaten in the past 21 years of WrestleMania.
There was even a 22nd labelled Brock Lesnar — who he was about to fight.
….The Undertaker attempted to slam Brock Lesnar with a second tombstone (and his throat-slashing gesture), but he countered and took The Undertaker up onto his shoulders.
The Dead Man then was slammed, flat on his face and upper body. Needless to say, in a final 1-2-3 count, the streak was over — and the crowd was shocked.
The Superdome went silent in complete disbelief that they had just witnessed the end of an era.
England-born Zimbabwean footballer Tendayi Darikwa made a bit of history for himself when he scored the consolation goal for Championship side Nottingham Forest in a 5 – 1 defeat at English Champions Chelsea at Stamford on Wednesday night.
Tendayi Darikwa
Now he joins absolute legends Benjani Mwaruwari and Peter Ndlovu on the list of Zimbabweans to have scored at Stamford Bridge.
Let’s not get into the debate of whether he is a bonafide Zimbabwean or not because we all know he does not have the green passport.
But his parents are Zimbabwean and also his name is even more Zimbabwean than many who have never gone beyond the borders of this country.
Of course, the EFL Cup is not the most prestigious of tournaments in England but Chelsea remain a big team and scoring against them is a big feat right?
After all, earlier in the week Arsenal could not get a goal at Chelsea in 90 minutes but Darikwa a 59th-minute substitute poked the ball home on the stroke of fulltime following a swift move.
The goal did give the travelling Nottingham Forest fans some little cheer never mind crushing out of the tournament.
It would have been sweeter if he had scored against Thibaut Courtois but it was Willy Caballero getting his first start since his move from Man City during the transfer Window.
Ndlovu was the first Zimbabwean to breach the Chelsea rearguard when he grabbed one of the goals as Coventry ran out 2-1 victors in May 1994 in a league match.
The former Warriors skippers will return again to Stamford Bridge the following season to score another goal.
Benjani on the other hand boast of two goals at Chelsea, his first coming in October 2006 while playing for Portsmouth and the other one he scored in a Blackburn Rovers stripe.
One hopes that warriors interim coach Norman Mapeza was watching and would hand Darikwa, who has expressed interest in playing for Zimbabwe several times, his first cap
Then we won’t have to worry about his nationality anymore.
If you think of it in another different measuring unit, that’s about 16tonnes of meat going through the intestines of the multitude that is expected to gather at Old Hararians Sports Club in Harare.
What are we talking about?
Castle Lager has launched yet another exciting edition of the biggest braai activity in Zimbabwe called The Castle Lager National Braai day happening on the 28th of October 2017 at Old Hararians Sports Club in Harare.

Since that history-makingnight in Durban where he became the first Zimbabwean artist to win an MTV Award for Listeners’ Choice, he has proved to have a healthy appetite to conquer the continent.
The musician has landed the biggest collaboration of his career after he teamed up with African greats South Africa’s Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Nigeria’s P-Square, Akon, Youssou N’Dour, (both Senegal) and DRC’s Fally Ipupa.
Titled ‘The Song for Africa’, the artists united for the cause of building hospitals and schools in Africa
The collaboration is the theme song for the Africa Leaders 4 Change Awards and will be released on 21 November in Johannesburg, South Africa.
According toinformation on their website, the awards focus on highlighting the initiatives that are making a tremendous difference within the African continent.
The initiatives should have changed people’s lives, by making their lives better without any personal or professional benefit.

The only hint we got about the song is that it “will make your hair rise”
“The Song For Africa is the Official song of the African Leaders 4 Change Awards… “The song for Africa” will make your hair rise. The passion and harmony of the song make it a complete African pride anthem,” read a statement on the Awards’ official website
Just like Diamond Platnumz did in December 2016 after their collaboration and Mafikizo in April this year, 2Kings entertainment is bringing in Davido for Jah Prayzah’s album launch on 13 October.
Since her burst into stardom,Ammara Brown has given us many goals, now she has turned the heat on fashion goals as she shows us that orange is the new red.
Ammara Brown in a Jan Jam dress
Songstress Ammara Brown modelled this orange bandage dress from Jan Jam Ladiesand we are so in awe.
The dress is an attractive and outwardly engaging orange and white shading piece with thin spaghetti lashes and a profound v-neck area.
Here is why we love it.
1.This dress will actually save a few of our dollars
The colour orange, scientist say is associated with fairness and affordability, which is why you’ll find it at stores offering good value.
Those that know the price of this dress please confirm (Cynthia, Candice hello)
2.This Dress reminds us of Alcohol
Everything that a woman does, consciously or otherwise, triggers a man’s interest in a very sexual way, and the bandage dress offers exactly that.
You see, a bandage dress, my ex told me, is much more comfortable than it looks. (Now picture a man having his beer in a very cold winter, he is not feeling as cold as he looks)
Again my ex told me that the bandage dress stretches to fit like a second skin (Now who can argue that a beer bottle looks like an extension of a man’s hand) Second skin – Third hand.
3.This Dress Reminds us of Lingerie
We had to crop out Ammara’s face from the picture for you to get the point.
If you look at the picture again you will notice that the white contour lines on orange give out an illusion of lingerie.
From that picture alone I can see a plethora of lingerie options to choose from, let’s name them shall we: Unwrap me Teddy, Cage Chemise, Criss-cross Merry Widow…etcetera, etcetera….
4.It’s effortlessly flirty and simple
This bandage dress is straight to the point. The white symmetrical lines draw the eye to your bust, waist, bum, hips, in fact, it accentuates almost all of your body.

Known with the moniker Tigger, the guy in question is a hip-hop artist or trying to become one and according to Zimbuzz sources, he has been Stunner’s right-hand man for a while.
Trigger was secretly recorded in a phone conversation by Olinda as he narrated what Stunner used to do during his wife’s absence. You can listen to the call our Zimbuzz Facebook page or stream it from our Zimbuzz Youtube channel
Among the things that he told her are that Dyonne aborted 10 times and that she and Stunner were doing drugs in Olinda’s matrimonial home.

His real name is Takunda Curtis Chimanikire and our sources also told us that he has featured on a number of Stunner’s songs as backing vocalists.
According to chatter on social media, Trigger is accused of breaking ‘The Guy Code’ of never to snitch on a fellow brother.

However, some said the stigma of being a “snitch” has become a serious obstacle in saving marriages from impending disasters.
