Late last year, the single mother disclosed to the public that Eric Omondi was the baby addy of her son.
But then, in a twist of events, Eric publicly said that he had been demanding a DNA paternity test for almost seven years to affirm that he was indeed the child’s father.
“For seven years I have begged Jacque to allow us have a DNA Test and she has continually refused!!! I don’t mind supporting the child but if you want me to be fully present and supportive, if you want me to be a father. Then we have to do the right thing,” he wrote.
The media personality and Eric came back together and announced that they had settled their differences and have decided to raise their child together peacefully.
“Life…it has its ups and downs but with communication, tolerance, understanding and true friends like @kabusimon, @ericomondi and I can now move forward. Thanks Fam,” Maribe wrote.
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.
