ALPHA ELABORATES ON HIS PLANS AFTER TPF



Tusker Project Fame winner Alpha Rwirangira talked about his plans after winning the talent reality show Tusker Project Fame.
So what has he been up to in Rwanda? “That’s my land, you know,” said Alpha, “My family and friends had been waiting for me. I had to go and see my fellow Rwandese.” 
He also denied the rumour that he is going to hold a concert in Kenya with other Rwandese contestants. “I have no information about that,” adding that even after winning TPF, he is still a born again Christian and his music is going to carry a positive massage. However, Alpha wants to keeps the his plans a mystery. He was reluctant to disclose what he will do with the Sh5 million jackpot loot from the reality show or his upcoming projects.
“I can’t tell. I have a lot of things I have been planned and I’m going to be in Kenya for a long time.” 
Fine, so is he really related to AY? From the horse’s mouth, “Yes, he’s my blood cousin.”

AY IS TPF WINNER ALPHA’S COUSIN

Alpha
AY

Rwandese Tusker Project Fame 3 winner Alpha Rwirangira has Tanzanian roots. Word is Alpha is related to Tanzanian rapper AY.
My source says, “AY’s mum and Alpha’s dad are silings that makes them cousins,” adding, “Even at the grand finale of the show, AY attended to show his support.”
Alpha whose mum passed on said he would like to be the “Voice of the people”. As a stepchild himself, Alpha promised that he would like to highlight the plight of the voiceless, suffering stepchildren that society turns a blind eye to.
The 23-year old will be in the country this week to meet his fans as well as undertake some media interviews.

IAN MBUGUA: IT’S GETTING TOUGHER!



After Kenyan contestant Debarl Inea mercilessly butchered Nameless’ hit song ‘Deadly’, on Sunday’s nomination show, the Tusker Project Fame judge Ian Mbugua admitted that the competition is getting to its most challenging stage.
For once, Ian politely noted a few things need to be fixed to enable the contestants to do their best, like letting them choose the songs they would like to perform. “It does not make much sense to give them a song that they do not feel.”
That is perhaps what earned Rwanda’s Christian an eviction from the house. He’s on record, saying that he was familiar with about five English songs - given his upbringing in the then French-speaking country.
The candid Ian was surprised that the contestants were made to sing from playback, as opposed to the band. “With only three weeks to go, you’d expect them to be using the band,” Ian remarked, in an interview after the live recording of Sunday’s show.
With the elimination of the weakest performers over the past week, the seven remaining contestants can now ill afford to perform badly.
Indeed all but Kenya’s Patricia Kihoro and Uganda’s Leah Atute have been on probation. And for Debarl it is the first time. Uganda’s Caroline Nabulime, Rwanda’s Alpha Rwirangira and Kenya’s Bernard Ng’ang’a a.k.a Ng’ang’alito, are also on probation.
