(9/7/2011 If you had sent me back home on this day I don’t know what I would have done.I had paid tsh50000 as bus fare to go back to Mbeya but when were were leaving the hotel to head to the coco beach where the competition was being held I reached out to my pocket to buy chips but unfortunately my pockets were empty and the money was gone. I was devastated and wondering where I would get fare in the instance I lost in the competition .But I thank God I emerged as the Tanzanian freestyle artiste in 2011 at Coco beach. @nchakalih you would have chosen someone else to scoop the award but you choose me and that helped me meet the likes of Mkubwa fella ,Diamond platinumz and Sallam Sk who helped me become who I am today.May God continue blessing your family abundantly)” wrote Rayvanny .
