BNN Premium — Exclusive Kenyan Celebrity Tea on Telegram

BNN Premium is the members-only Telegram channel from Bandana News Network, Kenya’s most-read independent celebrity-news platform. It is where Edgar Obare and the BNN team publish the stories, screenshots and sources that don’t make it to the public feed — exclusive Kenyan tea, raw uncensored scoops, and the receipts behind the headlines.

Pay with M-Pesa, debit/credit card or PayPal. Access is automated and instant after payment.

What you get with BNN Premium

• Exclusive stories first. The full receipts, the screenshots, the side of the story Kenyan celebrities don’t want public — published to Premium before (or instead of) the public site.
• Insider scoops in real time. Posts land in your Telegram throughout the day. No algorithm, no shadow-ban, no waiting for the news cycle to catch up.
• The receipts. Direct messages, voice notes, leaked group chats — the underlying sourcing that BNN cannot publish on a public site.
• Members-only reactions and follow-ups. Premium subscribers see Edgar’s ongoing commentary, corrections, and updates on developing stories.
• Direct support channel. Reach the BNN team through the Telegram support bot for any account or access issue.

Frequently asked questions

What is BNN Premium?

BNN Premium is a paid Telegram channel where Bandana News Network publishes its most exclusive Kenyan celebrity news, receipts and scoops — content too sensitive, too sourced, or too detailed for the public BNN site. It is run by Edgar Obare, the founder of BNN.

How much does BNN Premium cost?

There are three plans: Weekly, Monthly and Yearly. Pricing is set per plan in Kenyan Shillings and shown when you start checkout via M-Pesa or card. The Monthly plan is the most popular; the Yearly plan offers the best value.

What payment methods are accepted?

M-Pesa (Kenya), Visa and Mastercard, and PayPal for international subscribers — all handled by the same BNN Premium bot. M-Pesa is the fastest route for Kenyan members and grants access within seconds of payment.

How do I join after paying?

The BNN payment bot sends you a private one-use Telegram invite link the moment your payment is confirmed. Tap the link and you’re in. No waiting list, no approval queue.

What’s the difference between the free BNN site and BNN Premium?

The free bnn.ke site carries the public versions of stories. BNN Premium carries the receipts, the unredacted screenshots, the leaked DMs, the source material and the follow-ups that BNN cannot put on a public news site.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Plans don’t auto-renew unless you want them to. Your access lasts for the duration you paid for — at the end of the plan you simply choose whether to renew.

Do I need a Telegram account?

Yes. BNN Premium is delivered as a Telegram channel. Telegram is free and works on iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows and the web.

I paid but didn’t receive my invite link. What do I do?

Message the BNN Support Bot on Telegram with your M-Pesa code or payment reference. A team member will resolve it manually.
