And I wish you a Merry Christmas. Awesome, we'll get to that but, we'll get to that but that's okay, that's okay. All right. Let's go into our first story. We have the first story right here. And now, Tanzania's top artist, Darmon Platnams. and his Saini Rehvani have been banned from performing in Tanzania. Tanzania's arts regulator, Basata, said diamond platinum would also be banned from performing abroad, but it's unclear how they would enforce. Actually, it's unclear how they're going to enforce this. And I quote, they said, we have reached this decision because the two musicians have treated our disdained Basata, said in this dismay. They said in this statement, rather, in a recent video shared online, diamond platinum's raised the possibility of settling abroad if Tanzanian officials continued banning his music. And I quote, this is what he said, if they don't want me to perform any of my songs, I can live in another country and play there. If Tanzania law says I can't perform here, I'll go to Kenya where I'm not banned. We all know diamond platinum's and he's actually scheduled to perform in Kenya at the end of this week, but he has been banned from performing. Anyway, see what Tanzania do? I do Kenya, you're not performing, but in a recent video, I'll come to you and say, I want to buy a diamond platinum, but I don't know, I like that video, it won't actually viral. It was around. So, what are our thoughts? Mika, I'll start with you. And as I come to Kenya? Yeah. Nah, I couldn't go to Kenya. I don't know. And here's the thing, no, for real. Here's the thing. Okay, it's actually a selfish reason why I don't want him to come to Kenya, but it's a problem that we as Kenyan artists and musicians and producers, we need to eliminate. Do you know the thing is, yeah? For two hours of his time, we're going to pay him 4M, but for King Kaka's time, yeah, two hours jump at 100K. Did you know that? I'm talking in Kenyan shillings and I think that is still messed up. We need more Kenyan content. We need more Kenyan performers who are being paid properly. All right. That is an opinion of a Kenyan. All right, just to, we'll get there. That is an opinion of a Kenyan artist. He's also, Mika is also an artist. So, I thought he's going to stand in front of me. I love him. I need to talk to Mike. All right, Jesse, pass over the mic. I'll show you what I'm doing. You don't know who I'm talking to. That's not what I'm talking about. This is personal. This is personal. It's becoming a great thing now. I know that I'm going to put a competition because I'm going to be a lady. That's all. Okay, Tanya Shadona, yes. You didn't know anything. I met me. I have feelings on that one. No. I have feelings on them because I'm talking to Mike. Kenyan has new support. No, I'm not. I'm going to come to school. Okay. Excuse me. I'm not a student. I don't even know. Yes. I'm not a student. I'm a teacher. I'm not going to go to school. I'm not going to go to school. I'm not going to go to school. I'm going to come to school. But anyway, here's the thing. Entertainment industry, okay. Sour. Sour. No, I need to say this. I need to say this. Yes. Entertainment industry in Kenya, it's messed up. Because we're not paying our own artists the same amount of money we're paying international artists. Demo Planems, you just said, Gaza, hold up. Demo Planems will perform in Wasafi Festival in Kenya and will be paid for M for that. Two hours of this time. Hasn't he earned it? Hasn't he earned it? Demo? Okay, that's another discussion. That's another discussion for another time. MCK, let's hear it. I'm answering him. Another thing is not a hard worker. But in terms of money, we need to be paying our own the same amount of money. No, I'm just going to mind you. Sour, are you telling me King Kaka is not as big as Demo Planems? To be continued. Can we hear MCK's answer? I just mind Sour. Did you just say yes? I just mind Sour. Okay, Sour. MCK, take the mic, please. It is casual, I tell you. I don't really think banning him was the best. Because I don't know how to speak English. And secondly, I personally feel I'm a fan of Tanzania a lot. I forget. Tanzania was so much in feeling a lot of things. Lots of Kenya. I'm not saying, yeah. In the case of him coming to Kenya, I'd say right now, Demo is your artist for Tanzania. We should realize that. He's an East African. I represent East Africa as a whole. Tell me who's big right now. No, we're not arguing. Let him finish. How could I MCK? Can I finish? Can I finish? Yes. So I think he's equally big in Kenya as much as he's equally cosy. I'm not saying that I'm a fan of Tanzania, but I'm not saying that he's so big. So I think he's a fan of Tanzania, but I'm not saying that he's so big. I think he's a fan of Tanzania, but I'm not saying that he's so big. We can't even say that there's a diamond song. Let's agree on that. Yeah. At that time, we had a club where there was a diamond. We had a move. Yes. You agree? Yes, we do. This is automatic. We agree. The thing I'm saying is personally, we didn't know of Tanzania, it's the same thing. I'm not saying that he's so big. He's just a big guy. He's just a big guy. We're not arguing. We want our viewers at home to actually be part of this because we discussion up on So guys Channel at Philly Jean and the hashtag is hashtag where to pay for updates and so we take a very short break will be right back Just stay with us. All right
