Last Monday, social media had mixed reactions to the appointment of singer Jaguar into the board of Nacada.

While some people supported the appointment by President Uhuru Kenyatta, others said Jaguar was the wrong person to be appointed into the Nacada board, citing different reasons. However, gospel singer Ringtone, who has not had a good relationship with Jaguar in the recent past, is already complaining that he was eyeing the same job, according to sources close to him.

“Ringtone is not very happy about Jaguar’s appointment right now.

He hoped to be appointed but it never happened,” said our source, who requested anonymity due to the relationship he has with the two artistes. Jaguar and Ringtone have not been close in the recent past since they have been publicly competing on who is wealthier than the other.

When Jaguar bought the latest Range Rover SUV, Ringtone went public, saying that he is fasting to buy a better car.
