Kenya’s Lupita Nyong’o Wins Oscar For Supporting Actress
Lupita Nyong’o is the talk of the continent after she became the first African to win an Oscar.
Lupita Nyong’o walked home with a best supporting actress award at Sunday’s Oscars, the “12 Years a Slave” star honored the character that put her on stage.
“Thank you to the academy for this incredible recognition. It doesn’t escape me for one moment that so much joy in my life is due to so much pain in someone else’s,” she said after winning the accolade.
Nyong’o had been considered a front-runner in a category that included Sally Hawkins, “Blue Jasmine”; Jennifer Lawrence, “American Hustle”; Julia Roberts, “August: Osage County”; and June Squibb, “Nebraska.” Among other awards, Nyong’o claimed a Spirit Award on Saturday, the day she turned 31.
But she appeared shocked when her name was called . She bent over in her seat, then rose, still looking stunned, as the audience erupted with cheers and a standing ovation.
Nyong’o, who has talked about learning as a child to accept her dark-skinned beauty, said she hoped her success would inspire other youngsters.
“When I look down at this golden statue, may it remind me and every child, no matter where you’re from, your dreams are valid,”
Nyong’o, who was born in Mexico and is of Kenyan descent, was honored for her film debut. Her parents are prominent in their own right: Her father, Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o, was an advocate for democratic reform in 20th-century Kenya and is now a senator, while her mother, Dorothy Nyong’o, is the director of the Africa Cancer Foundation.

Radio & Weasel Set To Split
According to sources, Radio has left Goodlyfe and the group's manager Jeff Kiwanuka is said to be working overtime to replace him with the Uganndan sensation David Lutalo. Jeff has allegedlt been able to convince the remaining half of the duo; Weasel that Lutalo can do an even better job as his partner than Radio did. According to Jeff, Lutalo sung better than radio in their collaboration song 'Helena'. Further information on the crew is that Weasel is not wasting anytime mourning the departure of Radio from the crew, in fact, he is alleged to already be in studio with Lutalo working on their first song together. Word on the street is that, the whole GoodLyfe crew is on the verge of a split and this is only the beginning. Radio and Jeff are allegedly no longer on speaking terms stemming from financial disagreements in the crew. It is claimed that Jeff earns the same amount as the duo from any of the contracts. It got worse when Radio openned the Wandegeya bar, where he spends most of his hours supervising its activities; something that Jeff is not so happy about. Goodlyfe Crew is a Ugandan music group. Its main performers are Moses Radio (born Moses Nakintije Ssekibogo) and Weasel (born Douglas Mayanja). Starting as backing vocalists for the Ugandan musician Jose Chameleone, Radio and Weasel broke off from Chameleone's Leone Island Crew in 2008 to form the Goodlyfe Crew. Since then, the duo's songs have been successful on Ugandan radio.[citation needed] Starting with Nakudata in 2008, the duo went on to release Lwaki Onumya, Zuena, Nyambura and Bread and Butter. In mid-2008, the duo collaborated with other artists such as Rachel Kay, Blu*3, OS, Toniks, GNL and Zambia's General Ozzy. More recently they have performed live and collaborated with fellow Ugandan artist Keko.

American Female Deejay Shortee accused Kenya's Deejay Joe Mfalme for Stealing Her scratch Intros
The female deejay brought out the issue through her Facebook page where she posted the issue. Read her status below
"Haha, soooo, this just happened: These idiots DJ Joe Mfalme & Creme strait up stole on of my scratch intros (that I released 5 yrs ago) & they are trying pass it off as their own by editing in their names where "Shortee" used to be. They also mixed it with a song that's completely out of key, so in addition to being thieves, they're also tone deaf. What's funnier is that these two guys didn't even take out the word "SHE" that occurs multiple times (since I'm the FEMALE who created it, lol). I'll paste my original mix below in the comments so you can compare for the fun! Feel free to put them on blast...weeeeeeeeeee ;o)"
Shortee is multi-genre DJ & Music Producer , bass-oriented electronic dance music (Electro House, Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Drumstep, Glitch Hop, Trap) She also DJ and produces music with her husband Bobby under the name “Urban Assault”. The two own an indie EDM Record Label “Heavy Artillery Recordings” on which they have released 285 releases mixes.
Mwakilishi also posted a link of the intros from both DJ Shortee's "AMP (Top 40 Mashup Mix)" and "The Best Of Both Worlds Mixxtape" by DJ Joe Mfalme and DJ Creme .
Mfalme's version of the intro plays first, followed by DJ Shortee's.
