Veteran Tanzanian musician Ali Kiba has opened up about his absence from fellow artiste Juma Jux’s high-profile wedding.
Speaking to Tanzanian station, on Friday, July 4, 2025, Ali Kiba explained that he and Jux are not in regular contact, which may have influenced the decision not to invite him.
The Bongo icon added that he does not consider himself part of Jux’s close circle and respects the couple’s choice regarding their guest list.
Clarifying on beef claims, he mentioned that he had previously communicated with Jux in Zanzibar, indicating that there is no underlying conflict between them.
In addition, Huku hitmaker added that he also did not invite Jux to his own wedding.
“Siko katika circle ya Jux na vile vile,siandani nao, hatufanani kwa mambo wanayo yafanya hatuendani. Lakini siyo kwamba kuna shida,” Ali Kiba explained.
“Mimi mwenyewe pia sikumwalika wakati nilipooa.“
Jux on wedding invite
Ali Kiba’s explanation comes after Jux, in a prior interview, disclosed that some Tanzanian artiste, including Alikiba and Harmonize, were not invited to his wedding due to a lack of regular communication, rather than any personal issues.
“Katika kuinvite watu kulikwa na wageni karibia mia na hamsini wa nje alafu ndani tulikuwa tumeordhesha artistes, comedians na presenters, mimi kipindi kile cha harusi nilikuwa ninavitu vingi sana lakini majina ya watu wengi yalikuwepo pale,”he said.
“Watu tulikuwa wakaribu sana walijua atabila mwaliko kwa sababu walijua,lakini watu ambao siongei na wawo sana, kuhusu harmo na Ali hao ni watu ambao hatuongei kila siki lakini hakuna shida wala tatizo.”
