Tehn Diamond

Arts Correspondent
Rapper Tehn Diamond and former ZiFM presenter Lochnation are dating!

The lovebirds recently confirmed their romance saying they have kept it under wraps for over a year.

However, word doing the rounds is that despite the blossoming relationship between the two, Tehn could be cheating with fellow artiste Ammara Brown.

In separate interviews‚ both Tehn and Lochnation were excited about their relationship.

“Look‚ Lochnation and I have been together for so long. We’ve been engaged for almost a year now. She’s mine and I love her so much and the thing about Ammara is nothing but a farce. Ammara and I are best of friends.

“Yes‚ people see us together at live shows or at her house, but she’s the person who helped me build my brand – Tisu Ngoda Dzacho (loosely translated to we are the unpolished diamonds)‚” Tehn as he is popularly known in hip-hop circles said.

Lochnation

The 30-year-old radio presenter and gender activist Lochnation whose real name is Lorraine Charlotte Bgoya did not mince her words, saying she and Tehn were so much in love.

“Yes‚ we are engaged‚” she enthused.

Of late, the rumour-mill has been awash with news that Ammara stormed at Bgoya’s house in Avondale West and disturbed the peace.

It was reported that Ammara and Lochnation allegedly had a bust up over Tehn. When asked about the fight‚ Lochnation dismissed the allegations as “ridiculous” saying she is friends with Ammara.

“That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Ammara and I are good friends and from time-to-time she comes to my house‚” Lochnation said.

She‚ however‚ could not be drawn into commenting further about her personal life. Ammara, who is doing well on the charts with “Mukoko”‚ collaboration with Tytan could not be reached for comment as her mobile went unanswered.

Lochnation was born to Tanzanian parents, with her father being a doctor. She spent most of her childhood in Zimbabwe.

Her rise to fame was in 2015 through her radio programme “Off the Wall” which she co-hosted with Danis Dube aka “Dan that Guy” on ZiFM Stereo. “Off the Wall” has been an influential show in terms of promoting Zimbabwean music and urban culture.

She has interviewed among other celebrities – The Noisettes, Nigerian superstar D’Banj, UK songbird Estelle and US superstar Eve. She has been featured on DStv’s Africa Magic Entertainment show ‘Star Gist’.

Outside radio, Lochnation is involved in a lot of creative projects that include her blogs as well as Musasa Project, which focuses on women in abusive relationships and underprivileged women.

She was a co-presenter at Mrs Bona Chikowore’s wedding alongside Information, Communication Technology and Courier Services Minister Supa Mandiwanzira.
