"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.

For Ali Kiba, the key to generating wealth lies in agriculture, and he's happy to share the challenges and rewards of his farming endeavours with others.

"They say if you want wealth, you will find it in the field; I tell you, if you want wealth, throw yourself into farming. Whenever I get time, I will share challenges in agriculture and the crops that have picked up," He said.

Despite the challenges of facing new competitors in the music business, Alikiba has remained a dominant figure in the Bongo Flava industry for over a decade.
