Tanzanian Singeli artist Dulla Makabila has arrived in Nairobi for a media tour, asserting his unwavering commitment to using spiritual practices for his success, despite criticism from fellow artist Ali Kiba.

• Dulla Makabila insists he will not stop using "witchcraft" or traditional spiritual practices, which he believes contribute to his success.
• The artist is in Kenya for promotional engagements following a major collaboration with Savara of Sauti Sol, aiming to expand the international reach of the Singeli genre.
• Makabila dismissed advice from Ali Kiba to abandon these practices, stating that while potential collaborations may have been affected, his beliefs are non-negotiable and his management supports his choices.
