‘I Have Forgiven Ringtone’ – Says Size 8
Days after her Gospel Anthem album launch was almost tarnished by Ringtone’s sideshows, gospel singer Size 8 has stated that she has forgiven the Sisi ndio Tuko hitmaker.
Speaking during an interview on Mambo Mseto, Size 8 revealed that Ringtone went against protocol when she invited pastors to anoint her at the launch.
Size 8, who was in the company of her husband DJ Mo, said there was a plan to have different groups of people on stage and they first called pastors.
“It was a minor issue. My wife was launching her album and we had called pastors, artistes, friends and sponsors.
“When she asked pastors to get on stage, Ringtone came to the front. He should have waited for his turn. We even asked him to wait as it was a serious moment of prayer and anointing,” said DJ Mo.
At this point, Ringtone was asked to get off the stage but according to Size 8, he was upset and stormed out causing a scene.
“We had to be serious, I politely asked him to leave the stage and he was upset. He went outside and started creating a scene.
“DJ Mo was upset and he followed him outside since some of the media partners had also gone out of the room to see what was transpiring,” said Size 8.
DJ Mo said he had to confront Ringtone since they had used a lot of resources to put together the event and could not allow anyone to undo their effort.
“He called bloggers aside and made some accusations…we used a lot of money, we had not slept. I went outside and confronted him.
“I am just human. I had to ask him to leave. I know he has an anointing but this was not the right time to pull off such stunts,” added DJ Mo.
Size 8 reiterated that she has forgiven Ringtone and there is no bad blood between them despite what happened.
She stressed that she does not need drama to seek relevance as she believes in sheer hard work and honesty.
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.
