“Mimi siwezi choma nguo kama Mulamwah!” Comedian Owago claps black at Robert Alai

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Owago Onyiro is not about to ruin his new business by engaging with Robert Alai who apparently insulted him this past weekend. According to reports, Alai called out Owago and Jalang’o for defending Mwalimu Churchill who is said to have not paid his comedians.

Speaking about this issue on Jalang’os YouTube show Owago encouraged fellow comedians to make use of the platform given to them by Churchill. He went on to use his fish business as an example; something that seems to have rubbed Alai the wrong way.

The outspoken blogger however could not and watch the two hide the truth, yet other comedians continue to suffer. through his Twitter account Alai wrote;

Owago and Jalas

Jalango decided to insult struggling comedians who provide Churchill with content through that fool called Owago. Boss, Churchill has no content for his show so he depends on the comedians being insulted. Ask Churchill to do one episode of his show alone we see. Pay comedians.

Owago’s response

Knowing very well that Robert Alai is not the type of people you want to have a bitter exchange with on Twitter; Owago went on to issue a polite response where he thanked Alai for calling him a fool.

The new chef in town however made it clear that he was not backing down from his hustle; just because of other people’s (Alai) opinions. Surprisingly Owago used Mulamwah’s move to quit comedy as example saying;

Owago with his first born son

 “Hahaaaaaaaaaa thank you @robertalai for calling someone’s son a fool during his Mothers Day. God will make me wise one day. Once more thank you @mwalimchurchill for teaching me how to fish. To my big bro @jalangoo thank you for showing me how to survive in this city Nairobi. Mimi siwezi choma nguo kama @mulamwah …….. Labda mimi nichome tu Owago’s Fish. Forward ever, backward never. #TheProdigalSon,”

Owago’s new business

Alai and Owago got into this exchange barely one weeks after the blogger exposed churchill for not paying his comedians. According to Alai, Churchill show had been pocketing all the profit brought in by the comedians; however paying them had proven to be quite hard.

Having seen the post on social media; Mwalimu Churchill on the other hand went on to respond at Alai’s allegations saying.

Kila mtu ananiambia, I have to mention about cyber bullying. And I will say this, It’s Good to have critics, they help you move and progress in Life, lakini hakuna pillar moja utaona imetengenezwa ya critic. A critic is fan who wants you to do better than yourself.

And to the Keyboard warriors. Churchill had the following to say;

Na wale keyboard warriors ambao hupenda kuandika maneno, sio keyboard it’s you, hautaawahi ona mtu ambaye ameendelea maishani, a businessman kama kina Chris Kirubi, Manu Chandaria, trying to bring down someone because they know the journey they have taken, so as you write those things, make sure utangali huyo jamaa useme I wish there is a way I can help them up. That’s how we grow as a society, for me it’s all about positivity, that’s how we grow. I have never seen in my life any successful person trying to bringing someone down, because they know and respect each other.

“Nunuanga gari mzuri sio mikebe!” Fan trolls Jalang’o

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

It is no secret that Jalang’o loves the expensive lifestyle and since he can afford it then why not?

In the past, the Milele FM’s radio presenter cum comedian once revealed that one of the greatest mistakes he committed was buying an expensive car; when he did not own a house – proving that his priorities were misplaced.

However with time, he finally managed to secure himself a home – where he now keeps his fleet of car collection.

Unfortunately having spent so much money on some of his cars, the comedian lost a certain part of one of his car’s that was allegedly plucked off while at the parking lot. According to Jalang’o, he tried replacing it however it seems that he could not get the exact original spare part in Kenya.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_re_Z7Hlx-/?igshid=5cans121a0vy

Jalang’o offers 10k

For this reason he offered to give anyone who could access the spare part 10k whether new or second hand; meaning he was indeed in need of the part.

With such an offer in these struggling days, fans definitely had a few things to say to the comedian. The serious ones sympathized with the celebrated radio presenter; while others used this opportunity to create a business relationship with Jalas by offering to give him the spare part for free.

The joker

Anyway as usual there are all type of people on social media and on this day; one of Jalango’s fans went all out calling out the comedian for buying cheap car.

In the comment section a guy by the name of Oneserio Edwin went on to imply that Jalang’o has been buying old; and used up cars that keep dropping parts while on the road. The guy wrote;

Halafu nunuanga gari Mzuri sio mikebe inaangusha spare parts barabarani

Fan trolls Jalas

Show some respect

However, this being a Benz that would probably cost several millions; other fans felt that Mr Edwin was acting disrespectful for not understanding or rather knowing the kind of lifestyle  Jalango lives.

Instead of letting him make noise on social media, Jalang’os loyal fans shut him up saying;

“Pick yourself up and get back to work!” Jalango’s piece of advice to comedian Mulamwah

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Comedian Mulamwah shocked many after his recent post on social media. As see on his recent post, he appeared to be burning his signature T-shirt; which he often steps out wearing during his performances.

In his caption, Mulamwah revealed that he had opted out of comedy; since the online trolls were doing more harm to his life than good. He went on to mention that the same trolls had left him fatherless after losing his child at 3 months!

Funny man Mulamwah

Jalang’o steps in

However, comedian Jalang’o who also faced the same struggles while trying to maneuver in the entertainment industry; has come out to give Mulamwah some piece of advice.

According to Jalang’o, the online trolls actually get worse with time but when a person is focused and determined to achieve something; such trolls cannot stop him or put him down!

Jalang’os advice to Mulamwah

Speaking on his morning show on Milele FM, Jalang’o went on to remind Mulamwah that nothing in life comes easy; and if indeed comedy is in his calling then nothing will stop him whatsoever.

Mulamwah bullies!

However, Mulamwah’s story comes as a surprise especially since he has managed to attract such a huge crowd on most social media platforms.

The young man who is more of a creative ‘Vines’ creator has allegedly been facing a lot of bullying from people who can’t seem to appreciate his work. Anyway below is Jalango’s video dedicated to Mulamwah.

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Just this past Friday, blogger Edgar Obare announced that he had gone into hiding thanks to Jalang’o and some of his powerful friends who were after him.

Edgar Obare

According to Mr Obare, Jalang’o reached out to him hoping to meet for a talk; only for a reliable source to warn Edgar against meeting anyone claiming to be the DCI officials since it was a trap to keep him locked up behind bars.

Through his Instagram page Edgar went on to inform his followers; telling them that if anything bad happened to him then Jalang’o, Obia and Babu Owino would be responsible!

Vblogger fears for his life

Jalang’o responds

Anyway, through his Instagram page Jalang’o wrote a well detailed post denying everything said by Edgar Obare.

He denied threatening the blogger adding that he had not even spoken to him as alleged! He wrote;

Jalang’o

When i get the little I get I share it with the less privileged because I know what it means to lack!

According to Jalang’o, on that same night Edgar claims to have left his home in the middle of the night; Heavy J Baba says he was busy working;

I dont know why people find it hard to accept that nothing comes easy! There are people out here trying soo hard day and night to bring me down but it will take them a hell lot of work because am not the kind who give up in my grind! Last night I was working past mid night at Raddison Blu Hosting the Bamburi Dealers awards!

Jalang’o

Jalang’o went on to distance himself from the allegations saying that Edgar’s source was a person working tirelessly to ruin his reputation; but he could not let this be!

A blogger wakes up and post that i called him and threatened him? That he meets me at DCI ???????????????? I just laugh! From his screen shots there is someone working really hard to try and Tarnish my name; I will not even bother asking or following who you are who talks to blogger and lie to them about me, Just Malice! Pure malice!

The Milele FM radio host went on to conclude by saying;

For you Edgar you dont have to run or delete anything, I have alot in my plate to even bother with you and if you are honest about being threatened you dont post you report. Today has been really funny and I have been laughing the whole time; with peoples DM telling me that if anything happens to Obare its me????????????.

Jalango’s fancy upcountry home

Seeing that he recently introduced the special lady in his life during their ruracio we can assume that the lady might be the main reason the comedian decided to build himself a house back in the village.

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Radio presenter cum comedian Jalang’o has found himself at a tricky place after one of his fans called him out for being a snob on social media.

According to the fan, Jalang’o has been ignoring all his comments for such a long time and does not understand why – especially since Alex Mwakideu always seems to interact with his fans.

Jalang’o

For this reason, the fan known as Opiyo Msafi Mondi decided to call Jalang’o out attracting the comedians attention – and just like he wanted….Jalang’o finally responded.

Jalango’s comment

Not surprised by his fans comment, Jalang’o did not hold back from telling Mr Opiyo not to take the social media life so serious.

Jalang’o

Although he has a point, probably Jalang’o needs to interact more with his fans if indeed the social media life is not something that should be affecting fans emotionally.

Now Business partner

Judging from how Jalang’o put it, fans are now expecting a massive hit song from Otile Brown now that he has Jalango’s support!

The reunion marks the end to their epic feud, which started a while back after Otile Brown treated Jalango like a fan forgetting that the Milele FM radio had highly contributed to his successful career. Speaking about the beef Jalang’o opened up saying;

There was a day I called Otile and he told me he could not talk to me I should get him through his manager. He clearly knew it was me but still insisted I should talk to his manager. Actually I was calling him because a certain company wanted to use his song but I did not tell him because he had already disappointed me.

Anyway seems that all that is now in the past.

You should also do away with these things of writing warning letters to yourself, you are the chairman, the residents, your cows, the secretary, just sing,” Jalas said.

Speaking in an Kiss FM interview, Masika said that that was a huge blessing.

“I’m grateful. It looked like a delay but it was a blessing. And also the people in the salon were ok, so it’s really a good thing. It was more like hurry up but then there were a lot of people to socialize with hapo. Of course I was feeling the delay but then I was kinda chatting with people. Later I was like haiya we delayed there, but we felt like it was God who protected us.,” she said. 

Adding:

“We pray for comfort especially for those who’ve lost family members. It’s really painful and we pray that God will comfort them.”

 

Jalang’o narrates how he saved Mercy Masika from Dusit terror attack by blocking her car

Posted on by Martin Oduor

God works in mysterious ways! Mercy Masika would have been trapped inside the DusitD2 Hotel on 14 Riverside were it not for Jalang’o who blocked her thus preventing her from leaving immediately.

Jalango and Mercy Masika were hired for an upcoming consumer promotion, the two had a meeting with their client on the same day terrorists attacked DusitD2 hotel.

Jalas and Masika’s meeting was at a different venue away from Dusit. The Milele FM presenter arrived late for the meeting and he couldn’t find a spot to park his car. He was forced to double park blocking other cars, including Mercy Masika’s car.

Appointment with hairdresser

Mercy Masika left the meeting in a hurry, she was supposed to drive to Dusit where she had an appointment with a hairdresser. But she couldn’t leave immediately because Jalango’s car had blocked her vehicle.

It took a while for Jalang’o to send his car keys so that the vehicle could be moved. Mercy Masika finally left for Dusit but before she could make it there the terror attack had already began, prompting her to change direction and head for safety.

It was hours later that it dawned on her that if she had left immediately she would have made it to Dusit on time and that she would have been right in the complex when the terror attack was happening.

The gospel singer Whatsapped Jalang’o telling her how he unknowingly saved her from the terror attack just by blocking her car.

Jalas decided to share the WhatsApp screenshot on social media and went on to narrate the whole incident;

“God wins! #DussitAttack
So @mercymasikamuguro and I are involved in an upcoming consumer promotion and so we were invited for a meeting at the client office… I was in another meeting so I get to client meeting after Mercy! Driving in, the client parking is full so Iam forced to double park blocking other cars! I walk into the meeting and client has finished briefing Mercy and she is in a hurry for her saloon appointment since the next day is the launch date and she has to look the part! She hurriedly leave only to find her car blocked so they call me move my car but I give out my car key so there is a bit of delay! When she leaves not more than 20mins later news of the attack at Dusit where she was going for her appointment quickly spread! Waaaaa! When she shared the message I just thanked God! #GodAboveEverything“

“Instead of asking us to play Kenyan music be the mentors” Jalang’o tells Sauti Sol to share their secret with other musicians

Posted on by Martin Oduor

There is no doubt Sauti Sol are the most successful Kenyan musicians. Jalang’o wants the group to share their secret with other Kenyan musicians instead of joining the bandwagon demanding 100% airplay.

Sauti Sol’s Bien took to social media to show his support to musicians demanding Kenyan music to be given priority when it comes to airplay on radio and TV.

“Kenyan music always comes with the word support. When you play Beyonce are you supporting her? I don’t know. Don’t support Kenyan music. Consume it, live it. It’s great,” wrote Bien.

Be the mentor

Jalang’o replied telling Bien to mentor other musicians instead of just calling for Kenyan music to be given 100% airplay, the Milele FM presenter says that Sauti Sol should share their secret with other musicians.

“Good…Now tell them why your music enjoy high rotation…I have really been waiting for your post or a post from Sautisol…to tell other artists why you’ve never complained about airplay! Bien you know how you work hard to get your music out there! Before any of your songs is out we receive emails , teasers and even a press release! After that it’s a series of calls to radio stations booking interviews left right and center! You show up at interviews on time…I have seen you guys do more than 5 interview in a day! You toil ! You post people dancing to your songs…you do challenges and within a week the whole country know about your new song! To make even yourself bigger you’ve collabod with TZ and Naija..you are international! I remember when you guys were hawking your music! It doesn’t come easy! People work! And until the same work ethics are instilled in our Kenyan artists we can play Kenya Music 100% and it will never go anywhere! So instead of asking about playing Kenya Music be Mentors in the industry! You can only take one portion at a time! Sautisol are Legends, UPCOMING and even new artists! No bro it doesn’t work like that! Hold people hands fam! You know the ropes!” Jalang’o commented on Bien’s post.

Bien replied saying;

“@jalangoo I agree. People must work. I can equally attest that you are one hard working guy. But now all this is beyond us. It’s about what our kids will inherit. Let’s all play our parts but let’s give US priority. Mcheza kwao hutunzwa.”

 

 

 

 

Victoria Kimani blasts Jalang’o… calls him arrogant 

Posted on by Martin Oduor

Musicians and TV and radio presenters’ beef which was started by Khaligraph Jones has now turned ugly as some people have started taking things too personal.

Khaligraph started the beef by mocking presenters with a free trip to Nigeria while protesting the influx of Nigerian music in the Kenyan airwaves.

Several musicians have come out to support Khaligraph’s demand for Kenyan content to be given priority when it comes to airplay.

Jalang’o has been the face of TV and radio presenters in this tug of war, he has been defending fellow presenters against claims that they favor foreign content over Kenyan music.

Deaf and dump to Kenyan talent

Victoria Kimani has also come out to support calls for Kenyan music to be given 100% airplay. She says that she has been advocating for the same for the past five years but no one listened to her.

She also said that Jalang’o and people who thinking along the same lines as him are ignorant. Victoria further says the Jalangos are deaf and dump to Kenyan talent.

 

 

Jalang’o lists 5 reasons why most Kenyan artistes are no match for their counterparts in Nigeria and Tanzania

Posted on by Martin Oduor

The debate goes on… some Kenyan musicians claim the reason why they are not successful is because TV and radio presenters are not playing their songs.

Khaligraph Jones started the beef with presenters when he mocked them by offering to fly them to Nigeria, he was protesting the influx of Nigerian music in the Kenyan airwaves.

Jalang’o has been the voice of presenters, vehemently denying claims that his colleagues are the reason why Kenyan musicians are not doing well.

Work ethic

The Milele FM presenter has now taken to social media to explain why most Kenyan musicians are not doing well compared to their counterparts in Nigeria and Tanzania.

Jalang'o
Jalang’o

He listed five reasons, but emphasized that work ethics has everything to do with success;

“I know most of you are wondering why I have taken this debate so personal, it is because I interact, I host and I talk to Kenyan artists daily. Unless most of them change their work ethics the Bongo and the Naija songs will still rule our airwaves because of the following:
1. There are artists we call for interviews and totally don’t show up.
2. There are artists who you have to beg to even post a poster of a show they are performing at.
3. There are artists who you literally have to beg to even send you a DJ’s Drop
4.There are artists who after giving us one huge song, think that, that’s the end of the world and for more than a year, they bask in the glory of That one song and when you stop playing it, they tell you “You’re not playing Kenyan Music “
5. There are artists who do not even have their own songs as their Skiza tunes
I one day, organised a meeting between Safaricom and Kenyan Artists to help them know how safaricom sponsorship works. First we had to Beg them to come and even those who came, I don’t think any of them has ever written to safaricom to ask for sponsorship
Good Music will always be played and even We presenters will look for it, example is Dundaing!
@realshinski was away for 10 years, came back and it only took him two songs to rule the airwaves…Good Music!! Vimbada @mojishortbabaa and @jabidii_music pushed the song as if their lives depended on it..Hard work!! and @khaligraph_jones knows what hard work is, he sleeps, eats his music and stays in the studio late creating content.
The same Kenyan artists, do not support each other but compete against each other, How will the industry grow?
Lastly, Music is a business,Invest in your business and it will always give you returns..”

Jalang’o to Naiboi: Before you pay the trip to Nigeria just remember the radio presenters who agreed to be in your video when Victoria Kimani turned you down

Posted on by Martin Oduor

Rapper Naiboi probably forgets how the presenters he is now dissing greatly helped him even when fellow musicians failed to support him.

Several radio presenters appeared in Naiboi’s video ‘2 in 1’ when fellow musician Victoria Kimani turned him down when he approached her to appear in his video.

Well, Naiboi is among artistes condemning presenters for ‘lack of support’. The rapper has also offered to pay flight tickets for five extra Kenyan TV and radio presenters to be flown to Nigeria.

“So after making calls and confirming how serious the OG is about this i have decided i will pay for 5more so thats a total of 15. Lets make it a Real experience for them.
#respecttheOG,” wrote Naiboi.

Unappreciative

Jalang’o was quick to remind Naiboi how presenters came in handy when he was desperately begging for support while shooting video for his song ‘2 in 1’.

 

 

“If you are still depending on Radio and TV to make you big then you’re nothing” Jalang’o fires at Khaligraph Jones 

Posted on by Martin Oduor

The past weekend witnessed drama, a new beef has pitted Kenyan musicians against presenters. Apparently some Kenyan artistes claim the reason why they are not successful abroad is because presenters don’t give them airplay like they do with foreign artistes.

One such artiste is Khaligraph Jones, the rapper mocked Kenyan presenters when he offered to pay for their trip to Nigeria just to assess whether they have fans in Naija (because he claims presenters play too much of Nigerian music).

“I am planning on Bringing at least 10 big Kenyan media personalities/Radio presenters to Nigeria for a 10 day trip which I myself shall cater for,I want to see if some of y’all will be recognized by your Nigerian fans or if you even have fans at all here, it would be very sad if you don’t though ?? ?????????????? #respecttheogs,” wrote Khaligraph Jones.

We don’t choose music played on radio

Jalang’o fired back at Khaligraph for mocking Kenyan presenters with the trip to Nigeria. The Milele FM presenter challenged Kenyan musicians to get out of the comfort zone, he said artistes who are still dependent on TV and radio to make it big are bound to fail.

“@khaligraph_jones is planning a trip for presenters and media personalities to NAIJA to see if they have fans there since we play too much Naija and soon the next trip will be to bongo! Yes we don’t have fans there but before you start blaming us! Did you know that presenters don’t even choose music played on Radio and if they do they have very little say on what goes on air? No you dint! Before music is scheduled on Radio it is researched on and all we do is play ! The other day we were involved in making our playlist, I posted it here asking you to help us and the results were shocking almost! 50% Bongo 40% Naija! Today on Apple Music there are only 6 Kenyan songs in top 100 Kenya! So hata hiyo pia ni ma presenters na djs wamepanga? But the question is how did we get here to NAIJA and BONGO? Marketing! Aggressiveness! And getting out your comfort zone! If you are still depending on Radio and Tv to make you big then you have nothing in this industry! There are too many avenues! YouTube, Spotify,Apple music..then we have social media platforms! Diamond launched his Album in more than 10 countries some of you have not launched even for your family! We can’t play what we don’t know! I personally has hosted and booked you guys for events and paid you guys for shows even if it’s little ,I have done my part! The other day @thekingkaka launched his Album they dint even show up and the other day saw them begging selfies with Diamond just like they did with Neyo instead of asking for collabo! Khaligraph you know what hard work is and what it took you to be there! Sautisol dint have to depend on us! Hii ni 2019 na mkiendelea hivi mtatukuna saana! Link on my bio support @officialmasauti_,” wrote Jalang’o.

 

Tabia kama first born wa Judas! Jalang’o explains why Willy Paul has never been selected for Coke Studio Africa

Posted on by Martin Oduor

Nearly all relevant musicians in Kenya have been to Coke Studio Africa. But one music heavyweight by the name Willy Paul is yet to make it to Coke Studio.

Coke Studio Africa is a music collaboration show that brings together diverse African music talent to create covers, mashups and even original compositions.

Several collabos have been born from Coke Studio, perhaps the most successful collabo being Diamond Platnumz and Ne-Yo’s ‘Marry You’. The song was recorded in Nairobi when Ne-Yo was in town for Coke Studio.

Coke Studio Africa 2019

Several African music heavyweights have been jetting into the country for Coke Studio Africa 2019. Local musicians like Otile Brown, Naiboi, Khaligraph Jones have been selected for Coke Studio 2019.

In a recent engagement amongst artistes, Willy Paul brought up claims that Coke Studio practices favoritism in selecting Kenyan artistes.

Jalang’o was however quick to dismiss Willy Paul’s claim. The comedian explained that Willy Paul’s character was the reason why he is yet to be selected despite his music success.

“Wewe toka huko, ulitajwa, wakasema talent moto lakini tabia kama first born wa Judas! Ukatolewa,” Jalang’o told Willy Paul.

Willy Paul’s rival Bahati was the first gospel artiste to grace Coke Studio Africa, he was in Coke Studio season 4.

 

 

Jalango pens lovely message to Amina Abdi for being a hard worker and motivating other women

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Comedian Jalang’o is one of the hardest working media personalities in Kenya. The guys wakes up at 3 am in the morning and goes to sleep at barely 12 midnight almost everyday.

So he knows what true hard works means and will always appreciate it whenever he spots it.

Jalang’o recently had some lovely message for Capital FM presenter Amina Abdi who is also another hard worker in the business and has a tight schedule just as his.

Amina hosts a radio show, hosts The Trend on NTV and also has a show on Maisha Magic. She’s also an MC who is on high demand and…a mother of one.

Her schedule is as packed as they come and Jalango is proud of her.

“Today let me tell you a short story about my sister @amina_kenya. She is one of the top female events hosts in Africa…one of the most humble hard working people I know! Most of you would think that I am just talking but this is a trailblazer! Tv host at the trend! Radio host, tv host at Maisha magic..super event host!” said Jalango. 

Motivation

He went on to say that her hustle should be used as a benchmark by other ladies since she’s motivating a lot of women out there to focus on their hustles.

“Amina may your hustle inspire a girl out there to make them see you as a role model! I am happy that I know you and you are my friend! To any event organisers looking for a top duo male and female host…..Heavy J and Amina will make your event what you wanted and even more!.”
