Eldoret’s vibrant event scene just got a romantic twist as SashaDMB and Mbosso’s secret relationship came into the spotlight, with the local promoter Sasha Damaris Barasa spilling the beans on her low-key romance with Tanzanian Bongo Flava sensation Mbosso during a candid chat that has fans across East Africa swooning and speculating.
The 28-year-old powerhouse behind hits like the annual Rift Valley Music Fest confessed they’ve been an item for months, opting for shadows over spotlights to shield their budding bond from the glare of social media trolls and tabloid frenzy.
SashaDMB, real name Sasha Damaris Barasa, dropped the revelation in an exclusive interview with veteran broadcaster Tony Mwirigi on his popular “Unfiltered Vibes” podcast, aired late Monday.
“We’ve been together for a while now; it’s real, it’s us, but we chose privacy because love shouldn’t be a public sport,” she shared, her voice a mix of bashful giggles and firm resolve, as Mwirigi probed gently over the airwaves.
The duo, she hinted, connected backstage at a cross-border gig in Arusha last spring, where Mbosso’s smooth croons met her sharp event orchestration in a spark that evolved from flirty DMs to stolen weekends in hidden coastal spots.
“He’s not just a star; he’s my quiet strength,” Sasha added, dodging specifics on rings or relocations but teasing that their worlds, his mic, and her mics mesh like a perfect playlist.
Mbosso, 33, whose chart-toppers like “Nipindi” and “Tumekuja” have made him a Wasafi Media staple since 2016, has long dodged dating rumours, from links to exes like Diamond Platnumz’s circle to fleeting flings with Kenyan models.
This SashaDMB Mbosso secret relationship marks his first public nod to settling down, fuelling a frenzy on social media. Fans gushed over the cross-border fairy tale—”Queen of Eldoret bagging Bongo’s king? Iconic!”
The couple’s hush-hush approach resonates in an era where celeb splits go viral faster than hits, but it hasn’t dulled the excitement. Sasha, who’s elevated Eldoret from a sleepy town to a gig hub with events drawing 10,000-plus, laughed off prying eyes: “We’ve got playlists for two and prayers for peace; let the world catch up.
“Mwirigi, wrapping up the hour-long sit-down, called it “refreshing authenticity in a filtered world,” praising her poise amid the promo world’s grind. As whispers of joint ventures swirl, with Mbosso eyeing a Kenyan feature and Sasha plotting a bi-nation fest, this romance could remix East Africa’s entertainment map.
For now, in Eldoret’s bustling cafes where Sasha once hustled flyers, the air hums with envy and endearment. Love in the limelight? They’ve got it on mute, but the volume’s rising. Will it hit duet status soon, or stay their sweet secret? One thing’s clear: SashaDMB and Mbosso are harmonising off-stage, one private verse at a time.
