Holy Dave Opens Up About Marriage, Parents Of ‘Suitors’
This week, celebrity rapper and cook drew his family and fans’ attention to wide spread rumours that he had married.
Well, they say wherever there is smoke there is fire and for the eligible bachelor who has had every single woman’s eye on him, that would call for real attention.
This is how it all started. There was an awkward moment when media personality Joey Muthengi got an unusual fan on her page with an account bearing the names of her brother.
The lady who has named her account as Mrs Holy Dave raised eyebrows when she responded to Joey’s post with love emojis, raising eyebrows and prompting the media siren to accost the account holder.
“I need to know when my brother got married and I also need to meet his wife.’’
Dave, equally astonished, questioned how he’d explain the situation to his family. “I don’t know what to tell my sister’ leaving their social media fans puzzled.
However, it has now emerged the lady in question is a fan with a crush on the rapper. “She’s just a pal,” he laughed it off while speaking to Standard Entertainment.
A while back Holy Dave opened up on how he had been receiving numerous approaches from would-be suitors, some who had their parents call on him asking him to marry their daughters.
At some point, he responded to an email from a parent who had offered her daughter’s hand in marriage, making it all public.
“I get a lot of that but I chose to respond politely as I’m patient and hopeful that God has a plan to have me settle with an enviable family.
Not in a rush but the ideal candidate must be God-fearing, kind and open-minded,” said the young PhD holder, adding that “You have to be ready to learn new things so as to get to my books”.
The singer said his inbox is always full of proposals from beautiful girls, and now their parents too.
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.

NAACP partners with Lancôme to offer the Write Her Future Scholarship Fund, which focuses on empowering women through literacy, mentorship, and entrepreneurship.
Lupita, who is the Lancôme Ambassadress, indicated that she always had big dreams from childhood and education played a huge part in helping her realize them.
“I believe that learners change the world. I am so thrilled to join Lancôme, on behalf of their Write Her Future Scholarship Fund, to award this incredible group of women with these game-changing scholarships,” she said.
Popular Kenyan website, Tuko.co.ke, reported that two years ago, Lupita Nyong’o was nominated for four awards in the 51st edition of the NAACP Image Awards.
The actress, who did not manage to attend the award ceremony, emerged as a winner in two of the four categories she was nominated.
Lupita won the Best Actress award for her role in Jordan Peele’s movie and her second award was for Outstanding Literary Work Children for her book Sulwe.
