Time To Leave Me Alone: Jacque Maribe Takes Time Off Social Media

Media personality Jacque Maribe has insinuated that she is taking some time off social media following the recent controversy surrounding her relationship with comedian Eric Omondi and the paternity of their child.

Announcing the move through Instagram, Maribe posted a black photo saying she wants to focus on her happiness.

“Time out. Time to leave me alone. Time to get me time and be happy,” she wrote.

This comes just hours after she announced that they have reconciled with Omondi. In the now-deleted post, Maribe admitted that life has its ups and downs but people need to find a way to resolve conflict.

“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,” she wrote.

A video of the two had emerged online where they were captured cozying up to each other, just a day after they called out each other on social media. In the now-viral video, Maribe admitted that she had overreacted but apologized and revealed that she is now focusing on raising her child with Omondi.

“We were wrong and we are sorry. We have a child to raise,” Jacque admitted.

On his part, Eric also revealed that they have now found a middle ground and they are choosing to forgive each other and let bygones be bygones.

“We are here because of Simon Kabu. Jacque was hot, I was also hot. We were both furious but Simon summoned us. And we have mutually agreed that what happened is now bygone,” he said in part.

In the video, Simon Kabu, CEO and founder of Bonfire Adventures, was also captured advising the two. According to him, when two people differ, they should always find a peaceful way to resolve their issues.

“We will be there not necessarily to check but to guide. We have seen far much worse situations than this one because fact is people differ. We will not crucify you because of that, we will say that things happen but how you sort them determines how mature you are,” said Kabu.

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.

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.
