Bongo sensation Ali Saleh Kiba, widely recognized as Ali Kiba, encountered a hostile reception while attending the funeral of the late queen of Bongo flavor, Haitham Kim, at the Kisutu cemetery on a Saturday. The head of Kings Music appeared at the cemetery in casual attire, sporting a t-shirt and jeans. As is customary with celebrities, a swarm of journalists gathered to capture photos and videos of him, but he appeared to be quite displeased with the attention.
After suppressing his frustration for an extended period, Kiba, who appeared deeply somber throughout the funeral, finally reached a breaking point. He abruptly confronted the journalists, questioning whether they practiced Christianity.
"You Christians?" Alikiba angrily shouted at the journalists before continuing to monitor the funeral.

The Bongo superstar, who shared a close friendship with the late Haitham Kim, was observed offering solace to Kim's grieving husband, Niite Boshen, after Kim's body was lowered into the grave and laid to rest. Kim, who had been undergoing specialized medical care due to respiratory issues in the days leading up to her passing, sadly succumbed at around noon on Friday at the Temeke Referral Hospital in Dar es Salaam.
The late Haitham Kim is survived by her husband, Niite Boshen, and a young child. Tragically, her passing occurred shortly after Bongo artists initiated a fundraising campaign to support her costly medical treatment. It was reported that her respiratory issues initially manifested as a common fever but gradually escalated to the point where she experienced severe shortness of breath, ultimately leading to her hospitalization.
Fans, friends, family members, and numerous close associates gathered to pay their respects and mourn the loss of the talented singer and songwriter. In addition to a wide range of mourners, several Bongo artists, including Nandy, Lukamba Harmonize, Zuchu, Kajala Masanja, Hamisa Mobetto, and Wema Sepetu, have also expressed their condolences for the departed mother.
