Tanzanian songbird Nandy has sent social media into a frenzy after announcing a whopping Sh500,000 reward for anyone who finds and returns her missing wedding rings.
Nandy disclosed that her rings, which hold a deep sentimental value, vanished under mysterious circumstances.
Taking to her Instagram, the award-winning singer poured out her heartbreak in capital letters, writing:
“Wapenzi wangu nimepoteza pete zangu za ndoa katika mazingira ya kutatanisha.Plz atakayeziona au kama kuna sonara amepelekewa naomba sana ani-check kwa DM!Nitatoa zawadi ya milioni 10. Pete zangu zina memory kubwa sana maishani mwangu.”
(My dear ones, I have lost my wedding rings under mysterious circumstances. Please, if anyone sees them or if any jeweller has been handed them, kindly DM me! I will give a 10 million reward. My rings hold deep memories in my life.)
The post was accompanied by a touching video showing Nandy seated in a car with her child on her lap, gently holding the little one while wearing the now-missing rings.
Emotional music played in the background, and the video ended with a close-up image of the rings.
Fans flooded the comments section with reactions ranging from concern to humour—and even a bit of scepticism.
Instagram user @mc_mboneke quipped, “Hayo mazingira ya kutatanisha yako wapi tukatafute huko huko?”
@imamyougtopher offered support: “Pole sana my lovely sister!”
@sanga409 questioned her choice: “Sasa dada FAU na wewe ulivua za nini na unajua madini yanapoteanga kama uchawi?”
Meanwhile, @lucieferd gave a superstitious warning: “Gold original usipopaka mafuta ya nguruwe hupotea automatically.”
And @mbithe21 asked a practical question: “Do you have a name or something, how will one know it is the exact ones?”
Born Faustina Charles Mfinanga, Nandy has built a stellar music career across East Africa. She rose to fame through Tanzania House of Talent and later as the first runner-up in Nigeria’s Tecno Own the Stage competition.
Her 2017 hit One Day Night marked her breakthrough moment, followed by major accolades including Best Female Artist in East Africa at the All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA) in both 2017 and 2020.
She has also performed on platforms like Coke Studio Africa and collaborated with top artists across the continent—cementing her status as one of East Africa’s premier female voices.
