Tanzanian Bongo star Ali Saleh Kiba, also known as Ali Kiba, is not only making waves in the music industry but has also been silently making a fortune in agriculture.

Known for his chart-topping hits, the award-winning musician revealed that he intentionally kept his life outside of music private.

Through an Instagram post on March 12, the 'Mwana' crooner surprised fans by revealing that he has been investing in agriculture for ages.

"Wengi wanaonifahamu wamenifahamu kupitia muziki wangu. Hii haijatokea kwa bahati mbaya coz maisha yangu nje ya muziki kwa kiasi kikubwa niliamua kuyaacha yawe private.

(Many who know me have known me through my music. This has not happened by accident because I decided to keep my life outside music private)," Ali Kiba wrote.
