Yakayaka delivers a Dancehall-Flavored Romp in Baddest Whine

After weeks of sharing steamy teasers of her music project, the full video for Yakayaka and Roki’s Baddest Whine is finally here.

Yakayaka real name Rejoice Phaladi has previously starred in South African soapies Muvhango and Generations, decided to pursue an extension of her talents into music.

The video opens up with a scene of partying and twerking at a lively looking club with a glimpse of the two snugly seated with Roki holding a magnifying glass, zooming in on Yakayaka’s fine bod.

Shot by award-winning director Andy Cutta the video has a turnt up club scene showing off good vibes and the whining.

Ruling the dancefloor is a lady donning dreadlocks and a mesh coverup in the yellow, red and green colours.

The single which was produced by GT Beats in South Africa has the golden touch of Roki’s voice that makes one miss the old good times when he made hits such as Chidzoka.

Yakayaka’s professional acting skills show throughout the video, mainly on the fashion styling both on herself and the cast.

In Baddest Whine one can tell the singer is not afraid to tear the line as she reveals a lot of skin in some skimpy outfits.

“Mukanya Bira to be as big as Bob Marley’s 1980 Show”

“Mukanya Bira to be as big as Bob Marley’s 1980 Show”

Its been 14 long years since Thomas Mapfumo last stepped foot on the motherland and his return will be nothing short of an epic gathering, one that will go down memory lane.

It’s going to be bigger and I’m going to likening it to Bob Marley’s 1980 show,” said Entertainment Republic CEO Tendai Johannes.

At midnight April 1980 in an independence ceremony, presided over by Prince Charles,when the Union Jack was lowered for the last time, the greatest reggae singer of all time, Bob Marley serenaded the new Zimbabwe.

With the coming in of a new Zimbabwe administration in November 2018, another of the country’s greatest Chimurenga singers of all time, Thomas Mapfumo celebrates with the people in a ‘new country.’

Perhaps this might be the reason Mr Johannes likened the two occasions because of their almost similar significances.

“I have to be ambitious,” he said referring to his earlier declaring that the show will be as big as the Marley show.

“We are likening it to the Bob Marley show because we want everyone to be there,the young and old,” he added.

Mukanya’s songs inspired the armed struggle just like Marley’s songs did

“His songs were the food that people in liberation movements, particularly the armed wings, were swallowing,” says a Unisa professor and constitutional law expert in South Africa,Shadrack Gutto of Marley’s songs during an interview with Forbes Magazine.

Years after Independence Mukanya’s songs also inspired Zimbabweans as they continue in search of a promise made in 1980, one that continued to be elusive until the event of November last year.

With tickets reportedly running out for the April 28 Glamis Arena homecoming event the first batch of $10 tickets have been sold out and a new batch of tickets has been released with the cheapest going for $20. 

Physical tickets are available at Entertainment Republic offices at 113 Samora Machel Avenue in Harare.

Why We’re Excited About Takura’s Album Launch

The onslaught on 2018 has just upped its gear and fans are awaiting that breakthrough artist who will set the tone for the year and Takura’s name is in the hat.

There is something good about the year, its strewn with positivity and the rekindled love for local music judging by the support musicians are enjoying.

For Takura the year is his to lose. He has all the attributes of a star, more than once he has shown us that he is not a pretender but a megastar ripe for the world.

Takura has created his own magic, the fans love him, the fans support him…All they are waiting for is that one album that will catapult him to the level we all agree he belongs —among the stars of Africa.

Will he deliver…? Takura Picture @takuralife/Instagram

With a collaboration with JNR Brown on the album, who can blame the multitudes for being hopeful.

Rapper JNR Brown is also among the performers at the album launch at 1+1 this Friday which also includes Stunner, DJ Towers and IAM King.

The album launch which is jointly organised by DTL will be costing $5 and $10 for the VIP but there is a catch, only 300 tickets will be on sale which means the early birds catch the worm.

Dee Nosh of DTL told Zimbuzz that there are looking at a possible sold-out show judging by the many inquiries from people.

But the demand is also pushed by the star quality that Takura possesses especially after the release of the video Mai Mwana from his EP which he dropped last year.

The fact that the impending release of the album Someone Had To Do It is gonna be a suprise, with not one single released, save for his life documentary, makes all the more interesting.

Look out for our interview tomorrow as we chat to Takura about what we can expect from this album

Breaking: Despacito Reaches 5 billion Views, Video hacked deleted from YouTube

Luis Fonsi’s record-breaking video for “Despacito” might have suffered a major setback after it appeared to have been deleted from YouTube in an apparent hack.

The tune released in January 2017 has now been the first video on YouTube to reach a whopping 5billion views.

The track already has six Guinness World Records, and now it has a seventh thanks to those who can’t get enough of the absolute earworm that is Despacito.

It’s beaten the likes of Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth’s See You Again, which sits at 3.4 billion views.

Just five days after it was announced that the video, which also features Daddy Yankee, had reached the remarkable milestone of becoming the first YouTube video in history to reach 5 billion views, it disappeared.

Fan worldwide who tried to access the video where greeted by this message in the above screenshot.

More than a dozen other artists, including Shakira, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift and Drake, have also been affected. The original clips had been posted by Vevo.

The hackers, calling themselves Prosox and Kuroi’sh, wrote “Free Palestine” beneath the videos.

UPDATE: The video is now back online, no official word has been released by both YouTube and VEVO

Listeners can expect a cocktail of selection from the fresh releases, trending dancehall stories, old school as well as dancehall remixes in the wee hours of the morning.

Dancehall Reggae music and culture seems to have found a new home at ZiFM coupled with its talented presenters whose shows attract a wide range of listeners as well as creating conversations in the genre.

After staging an epic show at the Artscape Opera House in Cape Town last year, music promotions company Xtratime Entertainment and Tuku were Saturday honoured for their excellence.

They won the Zimbabwe Achievers Awards (ZAA) South Africa Event of the Year for the sold-out show which celebrated Tuku’s 65th birthday last year.

“Thank you very much for the congratulatory messages for ZimAchievers award won last night,” said Tongai Mbidzo of Xtratime Entertainment.

The “Tuku @ 65” birthday celebrations, which were first held at Pakare Paye Arts Centre in Norton before continuing to Cape Town on 18 November was a response to the growing cries from the residents who said they had not had a Tuku show in 2017.

ZAA Chairman Conrad Mwanza hailed the legendary musician as a cultural icon who has served his nation with remarkable distinction.

“We are proud to honour Tuku for his outstanding contribution to the music and entertainment industry,” said Mwanza.

“He has been an active and industrious member of various charitable organisations over the years. His worldwide involvement with UNICEF as a Goodwill ambassador for the Southern African region has been both influential and inspirational in shaping our African continent,” he added.

Tuku’s artistic genius has been critically acclaimed by experts and fans across the globe.His brand of music has become an iconic sound and has also challenged Zimbabweans to rethink certain prejudices and preconceptions of the African culture.

As one of Zimbabwe’s most renowned and recognised voices to emerge from the country onto the international scene, and with over 65 albums to date, he has a devoted following across Africa and Europe.

Kikky BadA$$ Flaunts Her Figure in 5 Hot Bathroom Selfies

Not so long ago, the toilet later renamed by this generation to the bathroom used to be a private sanctuary for everyone.

It was a place where we used to lay to rest the fallen heroes by giving them a befitting loud send-off.

But that was before they decided to put in big vanity mirrors that gave our women ideas that the bathroom is probably the best place to get a nice selfie of yourself in your new dress.

They now come with a wide variety of backdrops and wallpaper that are causing our kin to spend inordinate amounts of time in near the loo.

Worse still they upgraded them and most bathrooms come with awesome lighting for photos! And now bathrooms double as photo studios as well as a place where ladies compare the sizes of all of their body parts.

One Zimbabwean celebrity who has mastered the art of sexy bathroom selfies is the Queen of Hip Hop Kikky Badass.

Kikky is undoubtedly one of the sexiest woman alive right now and she has her bragging rights fully earned.

And in between the bathrooms, the reigning Zim Hip Hop Awards Best Female artist also finds time for the booth as she has just released a song where she responds to a whole lot of stuff happening.

Listen to her song Know Your Place on this link

Blame the elegant black tilework inside this bathroom

Comedy Central Roast of Somizi Coming to DStv

DStv has announced the upcoming Comedy Central Roast of Somizi, coming to Comedy Central (DStv channel 122) on Monday 7 May 2018 at 21: 00.

The popular format sees an illustrious panel assemble to “roast” each other before getting to the Roastee. International celebrities have over the years hilariously and flamingly insulted each another, including Justin Bieber, James Franco and Donald Trump.

In South Africa, the Comedy Central Roast of Somizi will be the third local iteration of the international format, with previous Roastees being Steve Hofmeyr and Kenny Kunene.

Somizi is one of the most dynamic media personalities in that country, having so far enjoyed a successful career on radio and television with no end in sight on bigger opportunities for one of the brightest shining stars in SA.

 Somizi Mhlongo added, “I am really excited to be the Roastee. The moment Comedy Central approached me I grabbed the opportunity.

“I have always wanted to be part of this project. I have what it takes to handle the heat because I am thick skinned.

“Despite my trials, I am here standing and ready for the next bout. I’m definitely up for this, especially when I get to have the last laugh at the panellists.”
