Crazy Kennar Discusses Whether He Is Ready To Venture Into Politics

Popular comedian Crazy Kennar has articulated why his passion lies firmly in art rather than political ambitions. Speaking from Mlimani City, where he performed at Joe Master’s show, Kennar shared his perspective with Wasafi Media, clarifying his role in society.

Despite his strong connection with the youth movement and calls for justice, Kennar was clear about his lack of political aspirations.

“I have already accepted my role in society; not all of us can be MPs,” Kennar stated. “I genuinely want to be someone who makes people happy and to reflect what is happening in society… it’s about continuing to expand, entertain, and educate. So, what I’m doing is edutainment.”

Advice for Aspiring Creators and The Power of Persistence

Crazy Kennar also offered valuable advice to aspiring content creators. He encouraged them, saying, “As long as you have a phone, know you have money in your hand.” He stressed that it’s never too late to begin and urged persistence despite initial hurdles.

Kennar revealed his extensive experience in the industry, having created content for nearly a decade. He even shared that at one point, his work employed over 500 people. “I have been doing content for nine years now and I just started with a mobile phone and now you see I have done so many things, I have traveled, I have hired many people, there was a point where I had hired about 500 people in the show.”

He emphasized that despite challenges for many newcomers, perseverance is key, and there is significant financial potential in art. “Push until you get there, then art also has money if you put your soul into it, so young people, let’s continue to work hard and I love you all.”

Art as a Mirror of Society

Regarding his safety given the bold nature of his content, Kennar expressed confidence, viewing his role as simply reflecting societal realities. He firmly believes that “msanii ni kioo cha jamii” (an artist is a mirror of society) rather than merely expressing personal opinions. He highlighted prevalent issues such as corruption, where significant funds allocated for projects drastically diminish before reaching their intended beneficiaries.
