Ali Kiba launched his album ‘Only One King’ on Wednesday in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.
The King’s Music label CEO is set for Kenya on Thursday night and is rumoured to be accompanied by Nigerian singer Patoranking.
The singer’s wife Amina Khalef was not an attendee at the posh launch.
Speaking to the media, Ali Kiba’s mother said that she doesn’t get entangled in her son’s marriage arrangements.
“Hao ni wao. Mke na mume ndio wana majukumu hayo. Mimi sina ruhusa ya kumpa Amina aje huku anapewa na mumewe. Kama mumewe amemuambia abaki na watoto, wanajua hao, mimi siwezikuingilia mambo yao.”
(As husband and wife, they are the ones who know how they do things. I don’t have the authority to tell Amina to come here, her husband should do that. If her husband told her to stay with the kids, who am I?)
Asked whether Kiba and his wife are still together, she said
“Wale watu hawajaachana.” (They have not separated)
