Unlike his perceived rival Diamond Platnumz, Bongo hitmaker Ali Kiba doesn’t live a flashy lifestyle in the full glare of the limelight.

He says this is because he prefers living a real and normal life like any other ordinary citizen where everyone is free to mingle with him. Ali Kiba noted that this is how he has managed to keep his personal and family life away from the limelight.

Speaking to Global TV, the hitmaker noted that should he decide to lead a flashy lifestyle, everyone would be shocked.

Kwa sababu tunaishi maisha ambayo yako real, mimi naishi kama nyinyi mnavyo ishi, mimi siishi ki-star. Nikisema niishi ki-star mtaniogopa kwa sababu naeza kuishi ki-star,” said Kiba.

The musician also called on his colleagues in the music industry to forget their differences and work together.

“Sanaa ina upana mkubwa sana. Ila ninachotaka kusistiza ni kwamba, kama wanasanaa hawatakubaliana kukunja ngumi, inamaanisha kwamba sasa hivi wameseparate, hawajashikamana. Wakishikamana, itakua nzito. Kwa hiyo wakikeep kwa pamoja, itamake sense,” said Kiba.

Last month, Ali Kiba announced his full commitment to music after a short hiatus that saw him engage in footballing activities. He explained that he ventured into football so that he could promote his energy drink business.

“No niliji-engage na football kwa sababu ya business, I’m a businessman now, lakini vile vile nafanya muziki, niko serious kabisaa, I’m a musician not a footballer. Niliji-engage tu na football kwa sababu ya business yangu ya energy drink,” he said.
