"Na vipindi kama vile tahusi ulioandaliwa na akiwemo Rukia."

Rukia then immediately took to the stage with her performance.

"Waja, huwa mwatakaje? Kumgonga lindi ni vibaya? Si ni kumrekebisha. Angalia saa hizi mahali yuko, ni mtu wa kutajika. Huyu mama wa kambo naye simjui baba kamtoa wapi,"Rukia said as she threw her hand in the air and walked away.

After Rukia was done with her performance, DJ Afro took over again.
