Eddie Butita launches initiative for Kenyan film makers

Posted on by Ozymandias

Eddie Butita has officially launched “Slate 100,” an ambitious initiative aimed at transforming Africa’s creative industry by producing and showcasing 100 films from across the continent.

Backed by SPM Buzz and operating under SPM Africa Studios, the Slate 100 Accelerator Program seeks to empower filmmakers, actors, scriptwriters, and digital creators. The project is designed to provide key resources, industry exposure, and a global platform to elevate authentic African storytelling.

A Strategic Move for a Shifting Industry

The launch comes at a critical time for Africa’s film and television sector. Recent developments—such as Prime Video scaling back African original productions and restructuring efforts by Showmax—have raised concerns about the future of locally produced content.

These shifts have sparked debate among creatives and stakeholders about sustainability in the industry. Slate 100 positions itself as a direct response, focusing on homegrown talent while reinforcing the global appeal of African stories.

Speaking during the unveiling, Butita emphasised the importance of sustained investment in the sector.

“Africa has the stories, the talent, and the audience. What we need is consistency, investment, and belief in our own industry. Slate 100 is about building that foundation,” he said.

Opening Doors for Creatives

At its core, the initiative invites creatives from across Africa to submit their ideas and projects. Filmmakers, writers, actors, and producers—both emerging and established—can participate by submitting scripts, concepts, short films, or full-length productions.

Selected participants will benefit from a structured development pipeline that supports both creative development and production, ensuring their ideas can be brought to life effectively.

This inclusive approach aims to amplify diverse voices and narratives, reflecting the richness of African cultures and experiences.

Toward a Sustainable Creative Ecosystem

Beyond film production, Slate 100 is designed to build a long-term ecosystem for African storytelling. By committing to produce 100 films, the program aims to create jobs, nurture talent, and strengthen the continent’s creative infrastructure.

It also reflects a broader shift toward self-reliance within the industry, encouraging local investment and ownership at a time when global platforms are recalibrating their strategies.

Through SPM Africa Studios, Butita continues to position himself as a key figure in shaping Africa’s entertainment landscape, using his platform to support the next generation of storytellers.

Call for Submissions

Creatives interested in joining the Slate 100 initiative are encouraged to submit their projects through the official platform. The program is open to participants from across Africa and seeks a wide range of ideas and perspectives.

With Slate 100, Butita is not just introducing a film program—he is spearheading a movement aimed at redefining how African stories are created, shared, and celebrated on the global stage.

Butita advises Ruth K to “keep some soil from Mulamwah’s home in her house”

Posted on by Ozymandias

Content creator Ruth K recently endured every parent’s worst fear after her young son, whom she shares with comedian Mulamwah, went through nearly eight days of unexplained distress marked by constant crying.

The ordeal began toward the end of 2025 and stretched into the first week of 2026. Ruth described the period as the most difficult chapter of her life, saying it was heartbreaking to watch her child stop eating properly and struggle to sleep.

A Medical Puzzle

In search of answers, Ruth took her son to several leading hospitals in Nairobi. Despite multiple examinations, doctors were unable to identify any physical illness or medical explanation for the baby’s prolonged discomfort.

As concern grew, the situation sparked widespread discussion online. While some followers suggested spiritual intervention, others pointed to the child’s Luhya background, with a number of commenters noting that matters involving Luhya children are often regarded as culturally complex.

The Call of the Bloodline

Comedian Eddie Butita weighed in from a traditional perspective, speaking as a “Luya elder.” He explained that within Luhya culture, lineage and ancestry are deeply significant, particularly when it comes to male children.

According to Butita, ancestors occasionally seek reassurance that their bloodline is secure and present. He likened the family structure to a kingdom, where the father represents the king and the son is seen as the heir responsible for carrying on the lineage.

In this view, ancestral unrest may arise if the child is perceived to be away from the family’s ancestral land, potentially manifesting in distress until that connection is restored.

The Significance of the Soil

As a traditional remedy, Butita advised that when the child is living away from his father’s home, the mother should keep a small amount of soil from Mulamwah’s ancestral land in the house.

He explained that the soil symbolises a tangible link to the bloodline and can be used to calm the child by gently touching them with it or adding a small amount to their bathwater. The ritual is believed to signal to the ancestors that the lineage remains intact.

A Kitale Reunion

Amid growing pressure and cultural guidance, Ruth eventually travelled with the child to Mulamwah’s home in Kitale. According to the family, the change was immediate.

Mulamwah later shared a video showing himself bonding with the boy, who appeared calm and at ease. He reassured fans that his son was now doing well after the eight-day ordeal.

“God is great, the boy is home, ashafika… alikuwa amenimiss tu,” Mulamwah said.

The episode has since sparked broader conversations about parenting, highlighting the intersection between modern medicine and cultural traditions. While doctors found no medical cause, the family ultimately found comfort and resolution through reconnecting with their roots.

Eddie Butita Drops a 14-Item Birthday Wish List — And Fans Can’t Believe What’s On It

Posted on by Ozymandias

Comedian and entrepreneur Eddie Butita has jumped headfirst into the growing celebrity trend of public birthday wish lists — and his followers are buzzing after he posted a surprisingly specific 14-point list ahead of turning 33.

The funnyman, who marked his birthday on 16 November, shared the list on social media, leaving fans amused by how laser-focused it was.

A Birthday List Like No Other

Instead of gadgets, luxury trips or flashy toys, Butita’s entire wish list revolved around… socks and boxer shorts.

Yes — all 14 items.

He even broke them down by colour:

  • Socks: Blue, Red, Black, Green, White, Grey, Purple

  • Boxers: Blue, Red, Black, Yellow, Magenta, Indigo

Alongside the quirky list, Butita dropped a hopeful message for the year ahead:

“FLIGHT EDDIE 33 take off, God bless me with good health, grace, more brains and wisdom.”

Celebrities Are Making Wish Lists a Thing

Butita’s public gift guide is the latest in a wave of celebrity birthday lists sweeping Kenyan social media in 2025.

Big names like Abel Mutua, Mwende Macharia, Claudia Naisabwa, and Awinja have all embraced the trend — turning their birthdays into interactive fan moments and giving followers a chance to contribute directly to their celebrations.

A Star with an Ever-Rising Profile

Eddie Butita, born Edwin Butita, has built a powerhouse career since bursting onto the scene in 2010.

He became a household name through the Churchill Show, showcasing sharp, intelligent humour while also contributing as a writer and creative.

Today, he heads Stage Presence Media and continues to score major industry wins — including his groundbreaking role in 2021 as the lead writer and director of the Swahili adaptation of Netflix’s The Upshaws.

Eddie Butita’s Bold Statement on Campaign Costs Sparks Debate on Political Accessibility

Posted on by Ozymandias

Kenyan comedian and media entrepreneur Eddie Butita has stirred national conversation after firmly shutting down rumors of a political run — not with a simple denial, but with a revealing jab at the high cost of vying for office.

In a recent social media post, Butita made his stance clear:
“Listen, I am not interested in politics. A KSh 2 million salary cannot fund a KSh 500 million campaign.”

Though delivered with his trademark wit, the message struck a deeper chord, spotlighting a major issue in Kenya’s political landscape — the overwhelming financial cost of contesting high-level seats.

The KSh 500 Million Price Tag

Butita’s statement might seem exaggerated, but political analysts say it’s close to reality. Mounting a serious campaign for positions like governor, senator, or MP can easily run into hundreds of millions of shillings.

Key campaign costs include:

  • KSh 200–300 million on media — TV, radio, newspapers, and billboards.

  • KSh 100–150 million on transport, accommodation, and logistics, especially in geographically large constituencies.

  • Substantial spending on staff, polling agents, mobilisation, and grassroots outreach.

The final tally? Well over KSh 500 million — a number that rules out even some of Kenya’s most financially stable celebrities.

A Barrier to Young and New Voices

Butita’s remarks have reignited debate about the accessibility and fairness of Kenya’s political system. If public figures with strong incomes and platforms can’t afford to run, what hope do ordinary citizens have?

For many aspiring leaders — particularly the youth, professionals, and reform-minded community figures — the cost of entry is simply too high. Without connections to deep-pocketed donors or political dynasties, most are shut out before they even begin.

A Democratic Crisis?

While Butita has no political ambitions (for now), his candid comment has pushed an important issue to the forefront: the growing commercialisation of Kenyan politics.

It raises tough but necessary questions:

  • Is leadership only for the wealthy?

  • Can merit, vision, and public service compete with money?

  • What reforms are needed to level the playing field?

For now, Butita may remain on the sidelines — but his words have added fuel to a debate that won’t go away anytime soon.

Eddie Butita Launches His New Girlfriend (Photo)

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

Popular Kenyan comedian and creative powerhouse Eddie Butita is publicly celebrating new love, having gone public with his stunning new girlfriend, Celle Terer. The celebrated comedian, who ended his relationship with fellow comic Mammito three years ago, had long been the subject of playful jabs from fans and friends regarding his single status. Butita has now decisively put an end to such speculation with a bold and stylish relationship reveal that has sent social media buzzing.

In a recent Instagram post, Butita shared a sleek photo of himself alongside Celle, both elegantly dressed, confirming that he is officially off the market.

Butita’s admiration for his new partner did not stop at just a photo. A video that has since surfaced shows the comedian openly gushing about Celle during a candid street interview.

“Kijana handsome kama mimi hawezi kuwa soko. I am on demand. Nakuwa aje soko? I am currently a present boyfriend. Sisi ni wale tukitumwa ice cream saa nane usiku tunaendea, nikitumwa chocolate naenda,” he said proudly. (A handsome guy like me cannot be on the market. I am in demand. How can I be on the market? I am currently a present boyfriend. We are the type who, if sent for ice cream at 2 AM, we go; if sent for chocolate, I go.)

Despite this public display of affection, Butita surprised many with an unexpected piece of advice when asked to share his thoughts on dating in general. “Do not date. Just love people here and there, but do not date. Just do not get into a relationship that will burden you while you are still trying to find yourself,” he warned, a seemingly paradoxical statement given his own new relationship.

Additionally, Butita shared some reflections that hinted at lessons learned from past experiences: “Everyone can love, but loving right requires a lot of experience, in terms of what you see, how you see other love stories, and and how you relate to people,” he added, suggesting a nuanced understanding of relationships developed over time.

Claudia Naisabwa Shares How Butita Shielded Her from Predatory Advances

Posted on by Ozymandias

MC and presenter Claudia Naisabwa has expressed heartfelt gratitude to her former boss, comedian Eddie Butita, for shielding her from predatory advances by male celebrities and industry figures during her early days in Kenya’s entertainment scene.

Claudia revealed that she was just 19 and still a student when she landed her first presenter role at SPM Buzz, an entertainment platform owned by Butita. At the time, she admits she was inexperienced and unfamiliar with the dynamics of the industry. However, Butita provided invaluable mentorship and guidance, particularly regarding her interactions within the entertainment space.

She credits Butita’s support for helping her avoid falling victim to predatory behaviors. “There are a lot of challenges in the entertainment industry, especially for young girls like me. There is the good and the bad, and I can assure you there are wicked people everywhere. Some people in the industry have tried to hinder my growth and success,” the 22-year-old shared.

Claudia also emphasized that amidst the challenges, there are genuine individuals who offer protection and guidance, with Butita being one of them. “Butita has protected me from so much. He became not just a boss but also a great mentor and friend. Whenever someone made a pass at me, I’d confide in him, and he would advise me about that person. He helped me see beyond appearances because, oftentimes, people aren’t who they seem to be,” she explained.

Reflecting on her early experiences, Claudia noted how much she valued Butita’s advice. “At 19, I was naive. I only knew these people from social media and admired their content, but I didn’t know them beyond what they presented. Butita, having been in the industry for years, understood these individuals at a deeper level as a seasoned mainstream artist.”

What stood out most to her was Butita’s non-intrusive approach to guidance. “He protected me and guided me on what was right and wrong but always left the decisions to me. Even today, if someone approaches me or I’m dating someone, Butita knows. He keeps all my secrets—he’s someone I can trust completely.”

Eddie Butita has admitted that finding a woman without children to date has become increasingly difficult.

The former Churchill Show comedian explained that most women he encounters already have kids.

“Men, you’re not leaving us any options. Almost every woman is either a baby mama or someone is a baby daddy. Out of 10 women, 6 have kids, 2 are pregnant, and the remaining 2 are making announcements. Is this in the constitution? Did we unknowingly pass it? By next year, anyone over 25 without kids will be a rarity,” Butita joked.

In 2023, Butita denied rumors of dating model Sadia.
“People saw us together and just assumed we were dating, but no one asked for the truth,” he clarified.

He also addressed claims by actress Jacky Vike, who alleged that Butita was married with children living upcountry.
“Butita has a wife and kids in the village. That’s something he told me,” Jacky revealed.

When asked why she believed Butita was hiding this information, Jacky said she didn’t know and suggested asking him directly. “Men are complicated,” she added.

Jacky’s statement came after Butita was rumored to be dating Sadia, following their helicopter ride together for an event. However, the rumors fizzled out after Sadia was linked to another man.

When contacted about Jacky’s allegations, Butita dismissed them humorously. “She’s ruining my chances in the dating market,” he said, firmly denying the claims.

Fans had mixed reactions to Butita’s remarks:

  • @naiwear_men: “Relax, maybe it’s time to review your criteria.”
  • @tonniempole: “Why the rush? You’re still young.”
  • @shiks_ritty: “Where is he searching? There are plenty of us here.”
  • @lilmissel.: “Just don’t have a child outside and expect someone without kids to date you.”
  • @kidooh254: “Sounds like you’re meeting single moms. Try Roysambu.”
  • @2mbili: “It’s never too late, bro!”

In a September interview with Oga Obinna, Butita shared that he was single and carefully considering potential partners.
“I’m not in a rush to settle down. I’ve received plenty of interest, but I’m taking my time to see if they meet my standards,” he said.

The Reason Butita Was Refused Entry to Dave Chappelle’s Show

American stand-up comedian Dave Chappelle performed in Kenya this May, captivating a sold-out audience at the Louis Leaky Auditorium. However, Kenyan comedian, actor, scriptwriter, and entrepreneur Eddie Butita recently disclosed that he was barred from attending the event, even though he had purchased a ticket.

In a video shared by SPM Buzz, Butita stated, “You know I was banned from getting into that show. I was banned.”

He explained that he had just returned from a tour in the U.S. with President Ruto when he was contacted by the event organizers, who informed him that he would not be permitted to attend.

“I had already bought my ticket. But a day before the show, the organizers called me and said, ‘We’re sorry, but you’ve been banned from attending.’ They mentioned that comedians and anyone affiliated with the media were not allowed at the show. Maybe they thought we might copy his jokes,” Butita speculated.

You can’t bring down youths in the name of fighting for youths—double speak at its peak. SPM BUZZ was present, as well as Tuko, Kenyans, Uliza Link, among others. I see no issue with digital media entities conducting interviews just like mainstream outlets.”

The interview occurred a few weeks after Butita accompanied President William Ruto and his team on a trip to the US.

This pressure prompted Butita to respond, eventually rejecting the finance bill amid intense scrutiny. His friends, Abel Mutua and Njugush, humorously came to his defense, leaving fans in stitches.

Abel Mutua declared, “On Tuesday, we will be one soldier heavier. Welcome to the streets @eddiebutita. Your mistake wasn’t joining the government. For change to happen, we need to influence from within. Delaying the rejection swayed the public, but we are good now. See you Tuesday.”

“Huyu kitu anajua kufanya kwa hii maisha ni clout” – Eddie Butita tells Rigathi Gachagua about Bahati’s clout-chasing tendencies.

On June 3, Kenyan singer Bahati puzzled fans, friends, and fellow celebrities by posting an old photo of his wife, Diana Marua, with football player Victor Wanyama, accompanied by a heartbreak emoji.

With no further explanation from Bahati, speculation about the state of his marriage began to swirl.

The situation intensified as reports surfaced that Bahati and Diana had unfollowed each other and removed their photos on Instagram.

This fueled further speculation about a potential breakup.

However, it turns out the Bahatis were just being their usual selves, engaging in a clout-chasing stunt to draw attention to their new reality show, ‘The Bahatis Empire’.

This isn’t the first time the couple has fooled fans into believing they had broken up. They’ve used similar tactics before to create buzz and attract attention.

Comedian Eddie Butita, who attended ‘The Bahatis Empire’ launch event on June 6, humorously roasted the couple for their clout-chasing antics.

He congratulated them before inviting the Deputy President to hear some secrets about Bahati and his music journey.

“I am so happy to be here at ‘The Bahatis Empire’ launch,” Butita began. “But allow me to roast Bahati and Diana. Deputy President, let me share with you some secrets about our good artist Bahati. He used to cry in 2012. He used to write letters because he was struggling financially.”

According to Butita, Bahati shifted to secular music as soon as he started earning more money.

“Wacha ashike pesa kidogo, Adhiambo. So now huyu kitu anajua kufanya kwa hii maisha ni kitu inaitwa clout. Okay, clout ni kiki. Clout means waking up today and saying you’ve broken up with your wife, and then on Friday, you release a new song,” he said.

Butita further explained, “Clout is waking up today and saying something to trend, then tomorrow you release something new. Clout is saying on Friday at 10 AM, Bahati featuring Satan for new Gospel… Clout is refusing to take your wife to the National Park because there are animals.”

Eddie Butita entertained the audience, who laughed at his jokes about Bahati’s life and journey.

His humorous take on Bahati’s clout-chasing tactics added a light-hearted touch to the launch event of ‘The Bahatis Empire’.

‘Who doesn’t make mistakes?’ Butita reflects on Miss Mandi’s past ridicule

Comedian Eddie Butita has revisited his fallout with former radio presenter and content creator Miss Mandi, who previously ridiculed his comedy.

Butita’s recent trip to the US, where he accompanied President William Ruto on a tour of filmmaker Tyler Perry’s studios, sparked social media discussions. Users unearthed a past tweet from Miss Mandi mocking his comedy, stating she didn’t find him funny and doubting his chances of landing a radio job, a position he greatly desired at the time.

The only question was how she went about it, she probably could have been a bit nicer without necessarily being ridiculous. It was wrong, but then again, who doesn’t make mistakes?” Butita told Nairobi News.

An email exchange from 11 years ago revealed that Miss Mandi not only declined Butita’s request to be her radio co-host but also mocked his creativity. At that time, Butita was just starting his comedy career.

Fast forward to 2024, and Butita has risen to become one of President Ruto’s favored creatives. His connection with the president, which began last year, has seen him involved in several government creative projects.

The highlight of his career was spending time with the head of state during the US trip. While many have praised Butita, the founder of Stage Presence Media Buzz (SPM BUZZ), for his transformation from a stand-up comedian to a presidential favorite, others are left wondering what became of Miss Mandi.

Butita considering selling his Jaguar XE due to allegations from his sugar mommy

Posted on by Ozymandias

Comedian Eddie Butita has once again addressed doubts surrounding his ownership of his Sh5 million Jaguar XE, which he acquired last year as an upgrade from his Nissan Tilda, purchased for Sh850,000.

When Butita initially showcased his new car on social media, rumors circulated suggesting it was not his own, with some speculating it belonged to an older woman, colloquially referred to as a “cougar.”

Expressing frustration over the persistent skepticism, Butita remarked, “At some point, I think I will just have to sell this car. Why don’t people believe in this craft that we’re doing? I have done so many things, so many great creative projects. Even the president once said that I make more money than his basic salary. Does that mean that with all that I do, I can’t just work hard and make enough money to get a good car? Why should I have to depend on a sugar mummy to get me a car? I just don’t understand the argument.”

Following his breakup with comedian Mamitto, Butita has been linked romantically to several women, including the alleged anonymous sugar mummy. However, he has consistently refuted these claims, dismissing them as products of social media speculation.

Since gaining prominence through the Churchill Comedy Show, Butita has embarked on a journey of self-reinvention, seizing various creative opportunities, such as screenwriting, which have proven lucrative for him. Nonetheless, he has encountered challenges along the way, including navigating gatekeepers within the Churchill Show platform, which he described as “a living hell” due to their resistance to his success.

Sadia Confirms She’s In A Relationship With Eddie Butita, Says They’re In Love With Each Other

Posted on by Dennis Elnino
Reports alleging that SPM boss Eddie Butita and Sadia have been dating have now been confirmed by the content creator. Rumours about the pair dating surfaced in 2023 and were catalyzed by a birthday message in which Said celebrated Butita who she hailed as “the most amazing human”, accompanying the same with heart emojis.
“Happy Birthday to the most amazing human. You have taught me a lot and I’m really grateful to be a part of you. I’m so proud of how far you’ve come. Cheers to many more laughs and beautiful moments,” read Said’s message.
This was among the reasons for speculating a relationship was cooking between them; not forgetting they went on a luxurious chopper ride together. To reciprocate, Eddie Butita also celebrated Sadia on Women’s day. Anyway, Sadia has now divulged that the two are actually in love and are now seeing each other. She revealed the same in a recent interview with Milele FM’s Ankali Ray, saying ‘ni mapenzi moto moto’.
‘Haijalishi tulianza lini kupendana. Bora tunapendana na tunaendelea,” she said
However, Sadia maintained that they have not yet moved in, but their love for each other is still on.

Butita addresses Wakimani’s assertions. Churchill gave them cars and $300,000

Posted on by Ozymandias

Eddie Butita clarified the narrative presented by Wakimani regarding Daniel Ndambuki, the founder of Churchill, allegedly gifting cars to comedians. In an interview with Oga Obinna, Butita explained that while they weren’t given cars, they were provided with loans to organize shows.

During a Creatives Meeting called by Churchill, Butita’s group, consisting of three individuals, was given 200K to create a show and return the funds once the show succeeded. However, their Mombasa show did not go as planned, leaving them with around Ksh 70,000, and they were unable to repay Churchill immediately. This led to tensions within the group, and one member mishandled the funds.

Later, Butita’s team had the opportunity to organize a show in Dubai, enabling them to repay the money owed to Churchill. This experience solidified a positive business relationship between Butita and Churchill, with an understanding that financial transactions could take place between them.

Butita noted that while Churchill is a good person, the environment at Churchill Show was somewhat toxic, with certain individuals creating an unfavorable atmosphere. According to Butita, there is no animosity between them, and Churchill remains a positive influence.

In a separate interview, Wa Kimani shared that Churchill provided financial assistance to comedians during a meeting. Churchill allegedly gave groups of three comedians sh300,000 each to organize and perform shows outside Nairobi. Some comedians who desired cars were directed to showrooms to select their vehicles, and according to Wa Kimani, some still use the cars provided by Churchill.

Eddie Butita Opens Up On Challenges Comedians Face On Churchill Show

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

In a recent interview with Oga Obinna, comedian and filmmaker Eddie Butita offered a candid perspective on his time on the popular platform “Churchill Show.” While acknowledging the show’s positive impact on launching careers, Butita also discussed challenges faced by comedians, including:

  • Limited opportunities: Butita described being confined to the “Churchill Raw” segment despite consistent strong performances. He attributed this to decisions by unnamed individuals, suggesting potential gatekeeping within the show’s structure.
  • Lack of support: Butita also mentioned experiencing negativity and a lack of support from certain members of the team, implying a less than ideal backstage environment for some.

Butita shared his insights on Churchill show;

“I will forgive them for everything but i will forgive them for everything but one ntadisagree na watu ni vile watu fulani wanagate keep iyo space mpaka mtu unaogopa kuwa mnoma. Infact mimi ni victim wa kuteseka juu najua kufanya kitu,” he said.

But Jacky claims that Butita already has a wife & children; whom he has been hiding at his rural home for a while.

‘Butita akona bibi na watoto ushago. Hio ni kitu alinishow.”

When asked why she thinks Butita is keeping the information under wraps, Jacky responded;

”I don’t know. Unajua mambo ya wanaume ni ngumu.”

This comes after Eddie Butita was rumoured to be dating Sadia; whom they boarded a helicopter together while attending an event.

But the latter came to pass after Sadia was rumoured to be dating another man.

He continued to warn him that they’ll not have time to solve family issues. Instead, he will be controlled whenever things go south.

Popular comedian Eddie Butita has acknowledged knowing John Matara, the prime suspect in the murder of Pastor Victor Kanyari’s sister, Starlet Wahu. Butita revealed this on his X page in response to a post by a user identifying Matara.

“Haiyaaa @iamjoseh_ unakumbuka huyu jamaa Pale Butere Boys High School?” 

He even cheekily told one Kenyan he had a case to answer in his follow-up comments to the others who had engaged him.

“Hii kwa law tunasema you are an accessory to a crime, you reluctantly watched a criminal grow even going as far as kumchunia mandazi when njaa ilikuwa karibu kumaliza yeye, without raising your hands in class.. Am afraid you have a case to answer..”

Eddie refuted this by saying, “Ata mimi nimeona kwa whatsapp group.”

Following the shocking and horrific death of 24-year-old socialite and Instagram baddie Starlet Wahu, the Kenyan entertainment industry was plunged into mourning.

The aspiring socialite, who also happens to be the younger sister of famous preacher Pastor Kanyari, was allegedly killed by a man named John Matara following a tumultuous date in the South B neighborhood of Nairobi.

The curvy Starlet was spotted with Matara, who was dressed in brown khaki pants, a sleeved blue denim shirt, and brown shoes, according to CCTV evidence that the police provided.

Wahu, 24, completed the ensemble with a short denim coat and a crimson dress that she wore with black heels.

Eddie Butita Reflects On The Impact of President Ruto’s Endorsement

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

Kenyan comedian Eddie Butita found himself in the spotlight in June when he received a surprising accolade from President William Ruto during the Kenya Drama Festivals Winners Gala at State House, Nairobi. The president singled out Butita and his comedy partner Njugush, praising their creative talent and entrepreneurial spirit, even suggesting that they might be earning more than his own salary of nearly KSh2 million.

In a recent interview with Dr. King’ori, Butita opened up about the profound impact that the president’s unexpected recognition has had on his life. He shared how this endorsement has not only boosted his career but has also influenced how he interacts with others.

“There is something psychological or subconscious about power,” Butita remarked. “When the president said I was successful, it changed a lot of dynamics in terms of business, how we relate with other people. Sometimes you get business because someone hopes one day you will mention their name to the president. There is something about power I am trying to understand, especially its effect because the president can be a very good influencer.”

Butita, known for his witty and lighthearted approach, jokingly suggested that the president should consider charging a fee for publicly endorsing businesses. While a lighthearted remark, it also reflects the significant influence that the president’s words can have on public perception and business opportunities.

Butita’s experience highlights the power of recognition and endorsement from influential figures. The president’s commendation has undoubtedly boosted Butita’s reputation and opened doors to new opportunities. It also serves as a testament to the success of Butita and Njugush as comedians and entrepreneurs, demonstrating their ability to not only entertain but also build a thriving business around their talent.

Due to his darkly attractive visage, Eddie Butita is pretty ecstatic that a prominent celebrity finds him attractive.

The key celebrity in question is the content producer Georgina Njenga, who revealed during a quick-fire interview with Flossytrukid that she finds Butita to be attractive.

When asked to list the top five most attractive males, Georgina became quite bashful.

“Does it have to be a TikToker or can I say Instagrammers??”

“Trukid and Butita”

Butita expressed his joy at finally being recognized for his nice looks in the comment area of her Instagram post.

“Hapana!! Madem msikue mnasema tu mnanipenda na inaishia hapo, nikuleni please.”

Like many other jesters including Eric Omondi, Chipukeezy, among others, Butita is also a fan of rocking new hairstyles- not very often, but he does enjoy having a new look after a while.

Celebrities have tapped into the new world of fashion and style and we wouldn’t be surprised if we have a person makes fashion out of something we never expected. Ragged jeans wasn’t seen as fashion when it pioneered, but people started embracing it and still lives on up to date.

Same thing applies to hairstyles. There are many styles that different people fancy. Some stick to the same hairstyle while others don’t mind changing over & over.

Eddie Butita has now opted to go for dreads. The jester took to his Instagram to floss the new look to his followers.

”New Look… it’s your boy Eddie Butita,” he captioned the photos.

The funnyman once rocked hair dyed in red and blue- leaving netizens flabbergasted about it-but eventually got used to it. It’s all about making your own fashion.

Kibe however isn’t wrong when he tells YY to go for a paternity test because that is something we all need to do as men. In Kenya, 30 per cent of the men who do go for one find out that their children aren’t theirs biologically and they’ve been cuckolded into raising another man’s bastards.
