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.
Oscar award-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o made the educational dreams and ambitions of 40 students come alive by offering them $10,000 (GH₵ 75,546.42) in scholarships.
The Hollywood actress delivered a wonderful surprise at the 13th convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
Official details from NAACP indicate that the young students received the scholarships during the ACT-SO award ceremony in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
ACT-SO is a year-long program targeted at high school students to promote their growth in disciplines from visual arts, business, and performing and culinary arts.
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.
Fast-rising American rapper Fivio Foreign has caught the eyes of Diamond Platinumz’s baby mama, Tanasha Donna has confessed her love for him.
According to her, she is crushing on the rapper, describing the feeling she can’t explain.
Tanasha Donna took to Twitter to make her feelings known to the fast-rising rapper.
“I have a huge crush on Fivio Foreign. I dunno what it is… Phew!” The singer posted on Twitter.
Fivio, who rose to fame in 2019 with his single “Big Drip”, which spawned a remix with rappers Lil Baby and Quavo, slowly morphed into a darling of many women.
Following her alleged relationship with Nigerian singer Omah Lay which went viral, Donna has been time and again alleged to have dated a couple of celebs.
During Omah Lay’s visit to Kenya in 2021, the two were rumoured to be dating secretly.
After headlining the first Pizza & Wine Festival at Royal Gardenia Gardens on Kiambu Road, Omah Lay made his Kenyan debut performance on October 31.
A day later, Donna stingily uploaded short videos of herself in Mombasa, where she frequents a lot, displaying angles of her flight landing and barely showing much off to avoid speculation.
The following day, he posted images of his view of the ocean from a room before Donna posted similar ocean views in what looked like the same vantage point and room, making fans put two and two together.
As much as the two artistes were coy with their posts and had been avoiding media allegations of a relationship brewing between them, it was evident they were together.
“I am single. I do not wanna talk about the rumours on Instagram, I never had a girlfriend,” the Understand singer responded when probed about dating Donna during a press conference in Kenya.
Reports of whether the two were romantically involved began when Lay commented on Donna’s post on Instagram saying, “Invested In Myself,” followed by a purple heart emoji.
