Jalang’o tickles Chris Brown in throwback video with Jeff Koinange

Published

on

American musician Chris Brown recently released a humorous flashback video of Lang’ata MPJalang’o, also known as Phelix Odiwuor.

The footage, which over time has taken on a life of its own as a meme, was originally taken at a Hot 96 breakfast program that Jalang’o co-hosted with the esteemed journalist Jeff Koinange.

In the clip, Jalang’o encourages women who might think of themselves as unattractive to accept their physical looks without hiding it behind the idea of inner beauty.

Jalang’o contends that depending on inner beauty as a defense is pointless because men cannot utilize X-rays to detect this purported inner beauty.

“If you are unattractive, you are unattractive. Let’s not discuss inner beauty because men do not possess X-ray vision to perceive it,” Jalang’o says in the clip, evoking hearty laughter from Jeff.

Their endearing on-air chemistry and ability to make people laugh throughout their tenure at Hot 96FM cemented their place in Kenya’s entertainment community.

However, when talking about school fires in one of their performances, things almost went horribly wrong. Jalang’o claimed at the time that there might be some situations where torching schools would be acceptable.

However, Jeff strongly disagreed with Jalang’o’s view and went as far as calling him “stupid.” Here are excerpts from that heated debate:

Jalang’o: Do you remember how long ago people would send messages over long distances? They would use smoke signals. So perhaps if smoke rises from a library, it can be seen from afar.

Jeff: Ignorance is…

Jalang’o: There is no such thing as ignorance!

Robby, as he is affectionately known, has now clarified how he met Mercy Kyallo, a well-known reality celebrity.

The bearded businessman stated in an exclusive interview with Nairobi News that they met through a mutual acquaintance named Betty Kyallo, who also happened to be Robby’s client.

Robby opened out about Mercy and his relationship, expressing dedication to their partnership.

He stated, “Right now my whole focus is on one person and that person is Mercy. I don’t care about the background noise, the hype or her fame.

My only mission is to support her in any way I can. She is the woman I have been looking for.”

When questioned about the attention that comes with dating a famous person like Mercy, Robby acknowledged that he might not be quite ready for it.

He was open to anything that could come their way, though.

He emphasized that his treatment of Mercy comes before how other people view her.

Robby shared that he and Mercy have been friends for more than a year and a half in their reflection on their relationship.

Robby preferred, as a businessman, to let Mercy speak for herself before disclosing further information about their relationship.

“I plead the fifth.”

Comedian Auntie Jemimah: Why I don’t want to get married

Auntie Jemima, a comedian, recently discussed why she doesn’t feel pressure to get married, citing personal independence as one of the primary reasons.

She was open and honest about her opinions on marriage and how it might impede her personal development and goals in an interview with Cate Rira for the POV podcast.

Auntie Jemima feels that getting married could put off her pursuit of a variety of personal objectives and desires that she has yet to realize.

“I am not afraid of marriage. But there are some things I need to do before I decide whether I want it or not. If I don’t achieve them, that’s fine. I am open to that possibility.

Auntie Jemima continued by saying that she had decided against getting married as a result of her prior partnerships’ experiences.

She has long preferred living independently, therefore she finds it difficult to get used to the concept of living with someone else. Even accommodating her nanny required modifications, which was a big departure for her.

Auntie Jemima’s great desire for independence and the ability to make choices without feeling bound is one of the major variables affecting her attitude.

She emphasised: “I want to live where I want and make decisions the way I want without being hindered.

She remarked, “I firmly believe that if a woman gets married before she achieves certain things, it can and probably will hinder her progress.”

Size 8, a former gospel singer who is now a pastor, has expressed her desire to have a third kid. The mother of two stated in an exclusive interview with Nairobi News that she plans to add to her family in the near future by having another child.

“For now, we will patiently wait upon the Lord’s timing. Currently, it’s not the right time, but perhaps in the coming years,” Size 8 said.

The performer has had four close calls with death while pregnant, unfortunately losing two of her children before they could develop to full term.

The mother of two also disclosed that she would soon be making a comeback in the music business.

“My husband, (DJ MO) is pressuring me to go back to music and so, soon I will be releasing a new soon,” she said.

Size 8 also shared her profound regrets when it comes to her music career.

“I regret following the hype since it amounts to nothing, especially when confronted with real issues. And money, no matter how much, cannot save you.”

Size 8 realized that not everyone has had the same difficulties she has by drawing from her own particular life experiences. She emphasized, however, that for her, being alive is what mattered most.

“As long as I am alive, that is all I need,” she affirmed.

She understood that people who buy into the hype are simply enjoying that stage, but respectfully refrained from pronouncing judgment.

Size 8 continued by stating that a substantial transformation was necessary on the road to authenticity.

“I had to let go of seeking validation through the ‘like’ and ‘view’ button on social media,” she admitted.
