Published on July 8, 2019, Tanzanian singer Lulu Diva has sparked controversy with her unusual dating preference - she's looking for an older Kenyan man.
During a media tour in Kenya to promote her new song 'Mapopo', Lulu Diva expressed her desire for a mature partner, stating,
“Right now, I am on the lookout for a Kenyan man. And not just any man, but older, more experienced and one whom I won’t bump into in the clubs,”
she said.
She added that Kenyan men are generally hardworking and smart, but she wants an older man to avoid competition and to do 'more foolishness'.
Lulu Diva also spoke about her past relationship with Jaguar, the Starehe MP, who was once her manager in Kenya and was rumored to be dating her.
She expressed her admiration for Jaguar, saying,
“I miss Mheshimiwa. The streets miss Jaguar’s music, but we have to accept reality.”
On Jaguar's recent comments about deporting foreigners working in Kenya, Lulu Diva supported his stance, saying,
“He is speaking for his people. He wants his people to have the priority that is being given to others. In fact, that’s the true work of a politician.”
She also mentioned her plans to collaborate with Kenyan artistes, including Khaligraph, Avril, Gabu, and Vivian.
