The king of comedy Eric Omondi seems to have gained some weight and become buff in the last few weeks and his fans are begging to notice.

Eric, who is a father of one, rose to fame through stand-up comedy where he would make fun of his physique thus building his career from it.

Eric Omondi

The former Churchill Show comedian left his fans in awe in a video on Instagram where he was mimicking the Health CS Mutahi Kagwe. As he was speaking, one could not miss his new set of features.

Eric, who was crowned Africa’s funniest comedian at the 5th annual AEAUSA awards, looked more masculine with a broader chest and seemed to have gained a few muscles.

One could notice that he had been working out, lifting weights and had a proper diet as his tiny physique was a thing of the past.

Eric Omondi

 

Dressed in a tight burgundy turtle neck in a meeting with the Health CS Eric looked dashing leaving ladies thirsting at his new body frame.

The star who had once paid a courtesy call to President Uhuru had been asked to eat more and clearly he did heed to the advise given.

“I will miss you. Every moment. Every single moment. You are the best thing that happened to me! Na kwa wale wadau wadaku, Chantal and I are okay. We were friends long before we were lovers and our friendship stays for life.

Anyway, guys have yourselves a blessed day and remember to wish Chantal a happy birthday this coming Friday.”

Kenyan comedians should stay away from music!

Posted on by David Kingsley

If you are keen enough, I’m sure you’ve noticed that almost every Kenyan comedian has crossed over to music. It’s almost as if that was the endgame for all of them. Wasn’t it though?

It started with Eric Omondi, soon enough the likes of Fred Omondi, DJ Shiti, Mulamwah, Eddie Butita, Mammito, soon joined in.

Eric Omondi
Eric Omondi

Sometimes I ask myself why they all decided to make this predictable move. Like, did they stop to think that we were already tired of their lame and tribal jokes. I guess not.

In as much as some of them are talented, (I give it to them, some can sing but  I won’t mention any names) why did they imagine that they would have any impact as musicians? What did they really want to achieve?

I bet it all began when they realized that they had lost relevance as comedians, that people were not cheering them as they used to so jumping ship and music seemed like the best option.

In my opinion, if you have established your career in a certain line, you should try your best to perfect it not to cross over to another career and fail terribly at it.

Eddie Butita

I’m aware that some of them try to include a comical aspect in their songs to show us that they can still do both but I don’t think anyone really cares.

It’s a fact that most of comedians are just trying to remain relevant by maintaining active fan bases but should they torture our eardrums while at it?

Whichever way you see it, Kenyan comedians should get back to terrible jokes that we were all used to and stay away from release music because let’s be honest, the country has enough musicians!

 

Madini Classic is just a cheap attention seeker

Posted on by David Kingsley

I have been trying to follow the drama between Eric Omondi and one John Philip Ouma, alias Madini Classic, and I came to the realization that it’s just hogwash and a waste of everyone’s precious time.

In my opinion, Madini Classic is just a cheap seeker attention who using the Eric for clout but he is going about the wrong way because it’s working to his detriment.

You see, what this chap currently doing has been done by many artists before him. Every once in a while you’ll hear someone disparaging a more established figure in society just to get some attention.

Madini Classic

The way I see it, he acting from a point of desperation because let’s be honest, unlike most of his peers, the likes of Masauti, Otile Brown, Arrow Bwoy, Sudi Boy Madini Calassic barely gets any attention.

You’ll never hear someone saying that he/she thinks of the Nilivyo hitmaker as a great artist never mind the fact that has some really good songs out there.

He’s following the footsteps of Otile Brown, who used Vera to become a household name, but he is going about it the wrong way like I mentioned earlier.

Many people would not want to associate themselves with drama and once they see that you are full of that and are willing to go around tainting the image of others, they tend to avoid you.

Madini Classic
Madini Classic

I’d rather he gets to be known for dating a socialite rather than apparently exposing someone else or painting them in bad light, whether the allegations are true or not. It just doesn’t work that way.

If you are keen, I’m  sure you’ve noticed that he has been pushing his new collabo with Vivian dubbed Energy while using Eric’s name to land interviews in  media houses which tell you what his goal was from the very beginning .

Someone should tell him that he needs to re-evaluate his strategy before it’s too late.

Eric Omondi the King of Comedy and Music parody

Posted on by Branny

Eric Omondi is a Kenyan comedian that can now be termed as the King of Comedy. I mean he is the best  in Africa anyway.

The award winning comedian had his days of glory when he started off  at Churchill Show such that when he left he made sure his name would remain relevant.

How? Using music and creativity as his tool to staying in the limelight.

Despite the love story drama and other shenanigans that befall him, Eric always sails through them like nothing happened. Some people need this kind of courage to make it in the industry.

King of parody

As I mentioned earlier, Eric Omondi picked and angle that would keep his brand on the trend. Clearly, he identified music parodies as his new niche.

Since long enough , Kenyans have appreciated Eric’s creativity of using the top most trending songs.

Further, he maintains the tune of the original song I believe to make the songs easy to relate to by his fans.

From Patriotism to Socialism he manages to coin his words and makes sure they entertain and also pass a message.

Most Popular parodies Today

Eric Omondi the King of Parody

Kanyaga

Originally done by Diamond Platinumz. For Eric Omondi has created a parody out of this, with link to the  Africa Cup of Nation games happening in Cairo, Egypt.

After Kenya was trashed by Algeria, Eric is creating a patriotic song to gunner more courage Kenyan team set to play against Tanzania on 27th June 2019.

The video quality was top notch I must say. Not forgetting the other called Pepetanga.

Miwa for Njiwa

This was a song originally done by Bwana Mkunaji Willy Paul who featured Nandi in the song Njiwa. This was done for comic purposes as he was doing Comedy story line of ‘How to be Willy Paul”.

The concept was so well done that fans asked for all the songs in the video as singles.

In the video he did Willy Pauls’ songs like Sitolia that he featured Mammito Eunice-Hey Mammito that voice we notice it mama keep it up.

ExtraWajanja

However, we also must acknowledge how he embraces his fellow artists in his videos.For this Eric did a Sol Generation Song Extravaganza changed to Extra wajanja introducing upcoming comedians namely Kartelo and Mulamwah. These two will be a force to reckon within the comedy industry.

Bottom line, with all the success he has received Eric Omondi has managed to stay at the top of his game.What is the secret?Well that is a story for another day. But for now, Hail ooh King of Kenyan Parody!!

Revealed: Employment stands in the way of Eric Omondi and Chantal´s Happily Ever After

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

President of comedy, Eric Omondi has seen the world witness his unspeculated breakup with Chantal but opens up that employment opportunities forced the two apart.

Up and close with EDAILY, Eric Omondi stated that upon granting Chantal her wish, they reached a mutual agreement to call of their romance but stick as allies.

The popular comedian expresses:

What Kenyans did not know is that Chantal has never been Kenyan; she is Italian.

Whenever she jetted into Kenya, she always came to visit me.

With her tourist visa, she cannot work in the country.

Chantal´s stay in Kenya meant she cannot fend for herself, therefore all she could do was stick around her boyfriend.

Meanwhile Eric Omondi was busy doing his tours and all and she therefore felt she needs formal employment.

And, she recently asked me if I can allow her to permanently stay in Italy and get formal employment there.

And because I had seen her stay in my house doing nothing meaningful, I saw it wise to grant her her request.

The only option the 4-year old couple had was to grant Chantal her request to engage in formal employment in Italy but that also meant, no frequent visits.

This would prove tough on them because they would have to bare with the situation of a pretty long distance relationship that none knew when it would end.

Given we would stay far apart from each other over an unknown period, we reached a mutual agreement to end the relationship.

Therefore, calling it off was their best option but close allies, they remain.

We do wish them well.

Eric Omondi´s wedding to Chantal to become an economic affair between Kenya and Italy

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Kenya´s beloved comedian, Eric Omondi pleads with Kenyans for financial aid to have him surprise his Italian fianceé, Chantal with a royal International wedding.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BwcEUZngDcK/

Up and close with Mpasho, the president of comedy reveals:

My wedding is not a personal affair.

It´s an international affair.

Kenya is marrying Italy and it´s [Italy] coming to Kenya with all the benefits we need.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxSUWTnl-QL/

He seems to affirm that the couple´s wedding will see Kenya reap benefits all round humorously suggesting:

Our wedding hasn´t happened yet because I´m waiting for you [Kenyans] to help me fund raise.

I need Ksh 80 Million; for the dowry payment, pre-wedding and main wedding.

Soon, I will share M-Pesa number so people can contribute something.

Eric Omondi is therefore in a bid to see the Kenyan community sponsor his wedding to Chantal which will be a big deal, come mid-June.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BnWjG5xBxd7/

Before then he hopes to have the necessary dowry paid down in Italy, soon as he gets hands on the money.

However, that´s not all because his entourage to Italy is set to grace big wigs in the political field the likes of:

I will go for the ceremony accompanied by 15 people, among them Hon Babu Owino, Governor Sonko and Hon Jaguar.

I will have to hire a private jet.

Well, we hope that was just but a by the way, if not, Kenya might come to a stand still with it´s current economic and political crisis.

Not the right time

Eric Omondi however denied fathering Jacque’s son when he was contacted about the paternity of Zahari. The comedian revealed that he knew the kid’s father but wouldn’t want to reveal who he is because the timing is bad owing to the fact that Jacque is currently facing criminal charges over her involvement in the murder of Monica Kimani.

“I know the baby daddy, however, it is not a good time to reveal him since Jacque is undergoing a difficult time,” said Eric Omondi.
