Who's The True 'Mama Africa'? Beyoncé's New Stint Draws Debate

Miriam Makeba, Angelique Kidjo, Yemi Alade and Tiwa Savage are but the few African women whose names popped up during an online debate over the weekend. The debate came up following Beyoncé's "Black Is King" visual album premiere last Friday on Disney+, with a faction of the internet referring to her as the true Mama Africa based on the stylish continent's depiction in the film.Unimpressed individuals claimed she "oversold" Africa at a time when the film was not readily made available in the continent it was shot. Others said that the "Upgrade U" singer profited off Africa yet could not plan a proper African tour. However, most were appreciative of her showcasing the continent's rich culture to the world. "There are more urgent things to do than to get angry at an African-American woman who is using her means to question, explore and artistically interpret a way to fill the gaps in her identity", said activist Timeka Smith.Let us know your thoughts on our social media, @KenyaBuzz

Being and African is hard

You face racial discrimination from both other races, black Americans, Africans living abroad and also Africans in the same struggle at home

Please Africans stop disrespecting Africa by calling Beyonce mama Africa. The problem with us is that we never accept and support our own...black Americans like the African culture but hate the African people ??

Citizen Journalist Edgar Obare Spends Weekend in Jail

Edgar Obare spent his weekend in jail after he was arrested last Thursday, according to influencer Xtian Dela. The blogger was summoned by the DCI last week for exposing YouTuber Natalie Tewa's visa details, alleging that she traveled to Dubai with a high-profile politician.Dela said that Obare's attempt to secure bail was denied and is expected to appear in court this week. #FreeEdgarObare was a trending topic for the better part of the weekend, driving mixed reactions on whether his arrest was called for.

Pambana na hali yako. You made it your business to intrude into other people's privacy, destroying families so as to gain fame. Ulicheza na wrong number this time round.

This Edgar Obare situation has shown me that most Kenyans have no regard for human rights at all. How do you celebrate unjust imprisonment because a blogger did what a blogger should do??

Ati "Acha afinywe makende" Are y'all supporting police brutality now? #freeedgarobare

#freeedgarobare Let's clear the swamp. If Edgar is being charged in court then the next case should be about @natalie_tewa leaving the country during lockdown. Guys let's focus. Why did she get the clearance in the first place? Thank for you refocusing our thoughts madam.
