Tanzanian singer Yusuph Kilungi better known by his stage name Mbosso is in mourning following the death of his former girlfriend and baby mama, Martha Boss.
Mbosso who had known Martha for close to five years now is still trying to come to terms with Martha's sudden demise which occurred after a short illness on Thursday 12, September.
Although the former love birds had agreed to keep their relationship a secret, the mourning Mbosso could not hold back.
The Nadekezwa hit maker eulogized his baby mama in an emotional post that attracted a number of condolences messages from his fans and fellow musicians including former WCB signee, Harmonize.
Known to be close to Mbosso, Harmonize commented, “Pole Kaka,” to the grieving singer who shared in a lengthy post that he loved Martha dearly despite the separation.
“Licha ya vipingamizi Vingi juu ya Mimi kuwa na Wewe takribani au ndani ya zaidi ya miaka mitano (5) iliyopita, hatukuacha kuonyeshana ni kiasi gani tulikuwa tunahitajiana sana kwenye safari yetu ya maisha.
“Japo jitihada zetu hazikuweza kufanikisha mimi na wewe Kuwa pamoja .., ila mbegu tuliyoipanda vuno letu ulichagua Liwe siri baina yangu mimi na wewe.., sikukubishia japo Mwazoni nilikukatalia kwa sababu 'najijua kifua cha Kuficha Siri sina.'
“Ila nikakuahidi sitadiriki kuitoa Popote na hata waliotuhisi tulikuwa tunawakatalia.., iwe Faragha au mbele ya hadhira tulitamka sio kweli, hapana, hakuna kitu kama hicho.' Hayo ndo yalikuwa majibu yetu.
"Sasa umeondoka bila kunipa ruksa juu ya hili. Je, niendelee kuitunza hii siri, na Je, anavyoendelea Kukua akija kuniuliza na nikwambia Mama alisema uwe siri atanielewa Kweli. Wallah moyo wangu unauma Martha, hukupaswa kuondoka wakati huu, mapema mno dah!”
"Nenda Martha Mwingi furaha na ucheshi , hata Mama kasema leo msiba, 'jana ulikuwa unatabasamu hadi ulipofumba macho. "Innalillah Wainnailaih Raajuun. ‘Mwenyezi Mungu akupe Kauli thabiti inshaallah.'Lala salama Martha,” grieved Mbosso.
Harmonize’s exit from WCB
For several months word on the street had it that the self-proclaimed Konde Boy was was on his way out of WCB. A record label owned by his estranged ally Diamond Platnumz.
Reports of his exit came to the fore after Harmonize failed to attend the label's annual Wasafi Festival. A flagship festival attended by all the Wasafi signees. He later removed the tagline Wasafi from his Instagram bio.
According to Sallam SK, who is also Diamond's manager, Harmonize handed in his resignation letter weeks ago.
“Harmonize kwa sasa ndani ya moyo wake hivi hayuko WCB, Harmonize kimakaratasi yuko WCB…ameshatuma barua ya maombi yakuvunja mkataba na yuko willing kupitia vipengele vyote vya sheria kuweza kuterminate mkataba.
Ye mwenyewe ameridhia, na ye mwenyewe ameandika barua na ameomba kikao na viongozi na hicho ni kitu tumependezwa nacho, kwa maana ni mtu ambaye amesimama na amefuata sheria, na ameamua ya kwamba labda imefikia wakati yake ya kujiendeleza …ni wakati wa kumove on,” said Sallam during an interview on Block 89.
