Miss P Opens Up On Relationship With Eric Omondi
Former Saldido signee Miss P has opened up on her relationship with comedian Eric Omondi and why they are no longer in communication.
Speaking during an interview with Willy M Tuva on Mseto East Africa, the songstress explained that after their Baby shower project together, Eric Omondi ghosted her and completely refused to pick her calls and answer her messages.
For this reason, Miss P concluded that the comic was unserious and therefore decided to keep to herself and mind her own business.
“For lack of a better term, I just don’t think he is serious… or is a serious person. Let me tell you, mimi na communication, I communicate. Communication is key by the way. That’s how you get to understand each other, that’s how you get to have a clear understanding of what is going on.
So for me after we finished the Baby Shower events, I called, I texted… that’s where I knew this guy….. No response at all. When I saw he had gone mute on me I figured its time I take my strides alone,” she said.
Questioned on whether they had any romantic relationship, Miss P responded saying, “Our relationship was very professional. You know with Eric he is very creative. He will improvise anything and make it look like something.”
The two created an online buzz a few months ago after Eric announced that he and the Baby Shower crooner were expecting a child together.
“I met this Beautiful Woman 5 months ago in an event I was hosting. Whatever happened happened and I promised her I would take every responsibility. Children are a blessing from God. @officialmissp_,” wrote Eric Omondi.
The two were however busted by keyboard warriors who shared evidence that they were only drawing attention to themselves in a bid to promote Miss P’s song.
Popular Socialite Shakilla was among those who told off the duo for faking a pregnancy just for clout.
“Next time better try ordering at least a fake belly bump or get a good editor. Responsibility my foot. Tell her to learn from the rest she’ll be used and dumped after getting views,” said Shakilla.
Miss P went on to reveal that she is currently in a relationship but preferred not to talk about her partner.

She Was Young At The Time, Tanasha Donna On Grudge With Bey T
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.
