Where are the Cocacola Rated Next season 2 finalists now?

Cocacola Rated Next season 3 premiered last night on Urban TV. Unbelievable it is that it’s already a year since 14 year old Ruth Grace walked away with Shs 50 million and a recording contract with Swangz Avenue.

Season 3 has come with a number of shakes ups. Mosha Danze who made a splash last season with his bold fashion choices and charming personality did not return as the host. He was replaced by ‘The Urban Fashionista’ co-host Malaika Nyanzi. The judges’ table bid farewell to power producer Benon Mugumbya and the inimitable Sharpe Ssewali. The two judges were replaced by Tusker Project Fame season two victor Estar Nabaasa and Swahili Nation lead singer Ken Daniels. Siima who has been at the helm of the show for two consecutive seasons returned for her third time as the third judge.
