THE LIST: 10 Kenyan Celebrities That Are Madly In Love With Alcohol A.k.a The Glorified Guzzlers

In this country there are famous folks that drink beer, then there are those that think beer. It’s all good.. The Roman philosopher Seneca once said, “Drunkenness is nothing but voluntary madness,” and he was dead right. For some celebrities, the love for alcohol has added vigor to their hustle but for some, it’s been their somber tale. Here are Kenya’s most notable guzzlers

Shaffie Weru

At the Sport Pesa festival a few months ago, I witnessed Shaffie downing a bottle in under 5 minutes then he went ahead to shake it just to confirm that there was no drop left. Wow!! Let’s all clap for a true alcohol connoisseur.

Joe Muchiri

Whiskey and Joe Muchiri are a perfect match, kinda like Raila and politics. The Capital FM radio producer wouldn’t even need a blood transfusion to save his life. A few shots would get him all fired up like Popeye after eating spinach. And not to forget that he’s the shadow ambassador of Jameson irish Whisky.

Smitta Smitten

Roll down the golden carpet because the prince of vodoski is about to stagger in. Smitta is a proud member of the vodka cult. It’s evident that most of his writings have been influenced by the drink. Ask him to ditch it and he’’ll diss you with syllables you won’t be able to comprehend. In fact many young writers today mimic the great Smitta by ordering his signature drink. A decent drinker – no blame

Bamboo

A decade ago, Bamboo was hailed as Kenya’s best rapper. Then he decided to juggle between Christ and the world, saved today and partying tomorrow. His peaks and troughs eventually erased all the good memories we had of this once great mcee. Now the only place you are likely to see him is at an event or club, clutching on a vast tumbler of whiskey. And when he drinks, no one brings ‘compe’

Mejja

For a guy who broke out with the hit song, ‘Kweli Jana Kuliendaje’, guzzling doesn’t come as a surprise. Mejja loves his beer the same way he loves his food – in plenty.

Maina Kageni

Maina has an incredibly powerful platform with his morning show. Have no doubt about it: He could convert babies that have been left at home by their mums in the morning from milk drinkers to Guinness aficionados with the snap of his fingers. Maina loves his whiskey and he doesn’t beat around the bottle. Another decent drinker

Habida

She’s been spotted drunk at several events. Oh! Habida, what we really want is to hear more songs not to see more accidentally displayed thongs

Vanessa Cheattle

“Beer’s intellectual. What a shame so many idiots drink it.” . Those are immortal words by Ray Bradbury, Whereas most decent ladies enjoy the occasional drink, party-centric upcoming socialites like Vanessa Cheattle (Vanessa Cheruto) don’t wait for occasions to turn up.

Jamal Mohammed

Once a good footballer but ruined by excessive partying. Jamal Mohammed used to be the king of events, showing up in admirable attire and armed with unrivaled charisma. Even though his grip on the soccer ball might have loosened, his grip on the beer bottle is still firm

Huddah Monroe

People who’ve partied with the socialite say she gobbles down bottles of liquor with so much ease, you’d think she has no taste buds. That quite sums it up
