Muscian Kay Figo Sues Her 60-Year-Old Boyfreind ‘Demands To Be Paid For The Time She Put Into The Relationship’
IT reads like something straight out of a Hollywood script except the location and characters this time around are Zambian and real.
Kay wants a house
Kay, the Diva controversial Zambian singer, caused a stir at the Lusaka Boma Local Court when her “compensation” case came up.
The facts before the court are that because she lived with the boy-friend, 34 years her senior and now things have fallen apart, she must be paid for the time she put into the relationship. Bwalya was born in 1986.
She wants John Van, a 60-year-old Lusaka businessman, to expedite the handing over of the “house and money” in the typical “house, money car” Nalu song as it appears clear no pre-nuptial agreement was signed by the two.
A pre-nuptial agreement is one which states that if a couple breaks up God forbid, each party leaves the relationship only with what they went in with and do not make other demands such as Diva Kay is doing.
Shortly after the case was adjourned to this Tuesday, the ‘Uli na mutima wa kanyelele’ super star, whom some admirers have in the past described as attractive, vented her anger on the Sunday Mail crew for interviewing Mr Van within the court grounds.
“If I see any story about me in the media I will sue, I did not invite you here and I have a right to my privacy.” Turning to her ex-lover, Mr Van, she said: “And you Mr Van, I will expose you if you give any stories to these journalists.”
In response, Mr Van said bluntly: “This is the stupidity that I have been putting up with for the past five years that this girl has been my girlfriend. Her manager insults me and even her sister-in-law.”
Mr Van said he met Kay five years ago at Fox Nightclub in Kamwala and it was what he called the proverbial ‘love at first sight’. He also explained how Kay asked him to find her a job, which he says he did although Kay later left the job, saying music was her passion.
Mr Van said he was not comfortable with the idea of Kay joining the music industry because he was skeptical about the lifestyle of musicians but he reluctantly agreed out of a deep sense of love for the diva he is now parting company with after three love-filled years that were never exactly plain-sailing.
After Kay’s first hit ‘Chachilamo’, Mr Van said he realised Kay was talented and had a possible future in the industry and encouraged her.
Their relationship grew and three years ago, Kay moved into Mr Van’s Makeni home and they began living together but ‘happily never after’.
Mr. Van said trouble started when he showed serious interest in meeting Kay’s family as his feelings for her overwhelmed him.
“I told her, tell them there is a ‘muzungu’ who loves me and wants to be with me but she never introduced me to her family,” he said.
The smitten Mr Van observed that as Kay’s music career took off, her schedule became busier and her absence from home became frequent consequently drawing a rift between them that led to physical fights instead of love.
After a number of fights, Mr Van said he told Kay it was over and for the past 10 months the pair had been sleeping in separate bedrooms.
He said he was surprised that Kay, who is allegedly dating a named footballer, has sued him because as far as he was concerned, they had both moved on and he even has a new girlfriend whose age he has not given the Sunday Mail.
Mr Van said he is ready to face Kay on Tuesday in court following the adjournment.

Kay should get a life, thats what you get for dating a muzungu and expecting to be rich out of him.. sies, she has no shame on her.

Kay has a point – the problem with men they want to have their cake abnd eat it. The man should pay up or he should be deported – when in rome, do what the romans do. In zambia living with a girl is akin to marriage

@Janet c, then what will Kay give the Muzungu? Chaps become more civilized and stop reaping men just because you think you are the weaker sex and all will simpathysize. No more! its too much you girls. You move in with a man, you start dating more men and use threats at law towards a man. Its no longer fare. We shall start signing contracts that there are no strings attached.

The whole thing is shameful. ladies, let us remember that we are Zambians with a different culture. let us learn to work hard for us to be comfortable. not a situation where you are dependent on a man who is not even your husband.its no wonder men mistreat us.why demand for a house and car which you never added a cent for? Most Zambian musicians are an embarassment. They want to leave a life beyond their means.its either they eat meals and do not pay for them,sleep in lodges and do not pay,enter into contracts which they do no honor,get things on credit and do not pay,defile under age girls and all sorts of nonsense. grow up celebs if you want respect from people.

@ Janet C. Iam dissapointed with you, why should you encourage ladies to be bargaining their bodies for material things? Women should be independent and strive to earn a living independently. The women should not be throwing themselves at rich men and hope to to escape with a share of their riches . Though the root cause may be poverty , ladies should be encouraged to work for their living and preserve their diginity.

My point is this: for Mr Van to be even more successful in whatever business or employment he is engaged in, he relied upon a woman – Kay in this instance – to support him. He lived with the girl and in our tradition living with a girl is akin to marriage. Even in the western society girlfriends (co-habitants) do get a share when the relationship breaks down. Even Simon Cowell (X factor) all his ex-girlfriends have received ‘parting gifts’ in the form of houses and flats – so what is your problem you guys. Mr van lives in zambia and so he should follow zambian tradition – otherwise let him marry elsewhere

Janet C you have a point but you should realize that Kay has used the old man for some time to be where she is now. The best she can do is to concentrate on her career. She will never be independent if she starts being so desperate.

There is nothing wrong with going for someone way older than you. Nowhere is it stated what age your husband or wife should be. The only restriction is that you must not be under 16 so be free and stop worrying about how old someone’s boyfriend or girlfriend is.

Wether Kay is entitled to somethng or not , this shuld be discouraged at all costs.Above all, she is supposed to be a role model to upcoming artists and zambian children at large, and as such she is expected exibit exemploraly behaviour . She will also haea t6uff time roving that thse not sleep overs because she was absent from home at times which can ruin the whole case

Some of U Zamkbians are stuck in basic instincts. If your basic advice is anuthing to go buy, proffessional prostitute who date a string f men for years on end will accumulate much wealth out of dull men. For Kay, wapusa. NO HOUSE OUT OF PUSSY!
