LEADING hip-hop artiste Tehn Diamond (real name Tendai Nguni), is billed to perform at the Big Brother Africa: The Chase Live Eviction show on Sunday evening.
Report by Melissa Mpofu
The prolific songwriter, rapper and singer will be accompanied by Junior Brown (real name James Mpakula) who will share the stage with him.
The Eviction show will be screened live on DStv Channels 197 and 198 from 2000hrs.
Their performance comes after Junior Brown’s hit song Madrinks has been receiving a lot of airplay in the BBA House.
When Zimbabwean representative Pokello Nare was still in the House, Big Brother would play Madrinks each time Pokello was low.
The song seemed to work wonders as she would liven up each time it was played.
Her love interest, Elikem, ended up liking the song as he would also sing along though he would often confuse the word “askana” for Stunner.
