“Music business breeds a lot of jealousy. And most outsiders will always want to know, how is it that someone can sing like this and who is this person’s wife?

During an interview on Churchill Show, the Nitafanya hit singer narrated how a female fan was all over him at an event in Kigali in 2010 and ended up ‘gifting’ him her wedding ring.
