“Love is such a beautiful thing,” wrote a fan going by Rashid Mwazame.
“Alimpata kitambo,” Collins Sande wrote, adding an image of the pair seemingly from years back, in the KTN newsroom where they both worked before.
However, the viral images may have been taken during a platonic evening where old journalist pals came together.
Popular media personality Betty Kyalo, who had appeared on the pair’s Instagram stories was present, as well as BBC Journalist Bonnie Tunya among others in a subtle party of under ten people.
“My friends are very good people,” Kyalo captioned an image of the group sitted together on a couch.

“kichekesho kwa wingi,” Kimani captioned a group picture in July, saying that their sit-down was full of laughter.
Madowo has not been linked to a relationship before, remaining consistently private about his personal life. Kimani has been previously linked to Timothy Mbugua, who is the twin brother of popular media personality Janet Mbugua.
In an old post dated July 2020, Kimani posted a loved up picture with an unknown man, the two leaning towards each other in an almost kiss.
The image was shadowy, and she captioned it romantically with a sweet statement.
“We may not get to forever, but now is all I need,” Kimani wrote.
It is however difficult to tell if the man in the image is Timothy, Larry, or someone else entirely.
Barely two years after Tanasha Donna and Bey T stormed the internet to fight over a catchphrase, Tanasha has finally given details on her beef with the rapper for the first time.
According to the musician, the misunderstanding came after they both disagreed on an issue.
In an interview with KISS FM, the musician cum entrepreneur said Bey T was young and was misled by people into instigating petty quarrels.
“Honestly speaking I think it was just a misunderstanding, it started over a quote, the ‘Kenya to the world’ thing. And I like she was young at the time and like people tried instigating drama. You know how people can be… people can easily corrupt one’s mind, especially when there is nothing going on,” she said.
According to Tanasha, it is easy to have the feeling that people are out to kill your shine when starting, especially as a young girl in a competitive industry.
“Talking from experience as a young girl you can feel easily like people are out to get you or steal your shine…but I feel like she’s a great artist so she was trying to spit some bars which she is amazing at and I’ll give her credit for that,” she added.
The mother of one confirmed that they have a good relationship following their beef and now are both open to the idea of collaborating with Bey T even though the two have never met yet.
“Why not? I mean I like her music and she’s amazing. Plus, right now, we’re at a good place, we haven’t really met but we have people in common whom we work with,” she said.
Amid their banter, Bey T went ahead to drop a diss track called ‘Don to the Donna’ attacking Tanasha for allegedly sampling her music in 2019.
“Someone tell Tanasha to stop wave riding,” Bey T wrote on Instagram at the time.
According to the rapper, the phrase “Kenya to the World” originated from her, but Tanasha stole it.
