A photo of Citizen TV host Joey Muthengi and Kenyan international football ace McDonald Mariga has had people talking.

It was taken on the streets of Milan - where Mariga is based.

And now, Joey has opened up to Pulse, refuting the street vibe that the two were in Milan warming up to each other but rather on business.

“No. We are not dating. The Milan outing was a business trip with a betting company (the billboards are up in Nairobi).

Mariga is a very good professional friend of mine and our trip to Italy was purely work,” she told Pulse.

The CEO of the Kenya Film Classification Board Ezekiel Mutua will be the chief guest during Victor Mbuvi’s launch of his new song Tumuthembee.

The launch will be held at After 40 Hotel, Nairobi, on September 25. “I am excited, very excited about this new project.

The song has a very energetic beat that brings the best out of me,” he said of the Kwaito hook tune.

The big hit gives one a nostalgic feel of his 'throwback' Ukilya Moko - for those who care to remember!
