This was after she sent out a tweet saying that she prays her children never go through what she has been through, for being a supporter of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and other sexual identities that exist. (LGBTQ+).
“I hope my kids never have to go through what I have gone through for being LGBTQ+,” read Ms Nderu’s tweet.
Her words were met with a myriad of mixed reactions as some of her followers fully supported what she said, and others against it.
It should be remembered that this is not the first time Anita Nderu has boldly talked about being pro-LGBTQ+ in public.

A few months ago, she said, “I am very pro LGBTQ and this episode has so many WHAT! moments 😂 I saw this promo and was like surely team, these were the bits you chose?😂 Anyway it was the PJ’s #ProPride edition with the most fantastic and dramatic humans @i_am_romeothebossy & @victor_maish and very unlike PJ’s looks❤️ We were so extra! I looooooooove it!”
I will never be bullied into silence. As human beings we have the right to refuse to be defined by what other people think rather we must define ourselves.As people we should celebrate our differences, encourage authenticity & wonder at the diversity of humanity. We all have a right to love and be loved. Have an amazing day #Propride #ProLGBTQ,”.

Jamal alleged that Platnumz is working so hard to sabotage his baby mama, something that he feels is not right.
“…Mondi anatumia force nyingi sana kwa Zuchu, ili amfunike mzazi mwenziwe…unaona live tu Diamond anavyo msukuma Zuchu sio kawaida tu ni sababu tu ya Tanasha, kutaka kuwalingnisha hao wawili. Lakini mimi naona kibiashara ni sawa, lakini end of the day ni mzazi mwenzake, asingempa hard time,” said Jamal in Part.
The KTN Presenter added that he likes Zuchu’s music but her act of borrowing Ms Donna style for her new song #Cheche is what made him feel she was copying her singer (Tanasha).
However, fans who joined the conversation, argued that if Diamond wanted to Sabotage Tanasha’s music career he would not have collaborated with her or allowed any of his signees to do so. Others felt that, Tanasha Donna’s camp had panicked at the rate which Zuchu is growing and they want to use her for clout and remain relevant.
Another user stated that Music is business and therefore Chibu Dangote is free to promote his artistes as much as he can.
