JB Masanduku Opens Up About His Struggle With Depression

Posted on by Ozymandias

JB Masanduku, a renowned TV comedian, has opened up about his ongoing struggle with depression. In an interview with Nairobi News, Masanduku said that he has been grappling with his mental health for several months, and that he has been masking his true feelings in front of his friends and colleagues.

“I am not okay, and this has led me to seek solace in alcohol just to find temporary relief,” he said.

Masanduku’s brave admission sheds light on the harsh reality of depression, a condition that affects countless individuals, regardless of their public image or success.

The comedian also expressed regret about his career choice in comedy. “Fame brought with it a multitude of negativity, and I find myself deeply regretting being in the limelight,” he said. “People pass judgment on you every day, and even during difficult times, you fear seeking help.”

Masanduku’s story is a reminder that depression can affect anyone, regardless of their circumstances. If you are struggling with depression, please know that you are not alone. There are many resources available to help you, and you do not have to go through this alone.

JB Masanduku’s career is not where it used to be. Truth is, just like most comedians, he lost his way somewhere along the way; and guessing his dramatic breakup with Tina Kaggia also affected his fan base – hence his current struggle to keep up.

However luckily for him, Masanduku was able to fight through his addiction to alcohol; and in the process of recovery he met his wife, Jackie Karanja who doubles up as an actress.

With his new supportive wife, let’s say JB Masanduku is slowly evolving into a better man; and above all a responsible dad who says he will be welcoming another child hopefully in December. Speaking to Word Is, the comedian opened up about this saying;

  We are expecting a baby with Jackie. She is three months pregnant and so hopefully in December, we will welcome our baby.

Although many say JB Masanduku’s career is no longer relevant; (I guess time has evolved and things changed) – but we cannot overlook the fact the he was among the top comedians in the industry who have paved ways for the new millennium funny kids i.e Crazy Kennar.

Anyway, now that life is finally looking up for JB Masanduku; the soon to be father of 5 went on to reveal that things between him and ex wife are slowly getting better and hopefully he will soon be accessing his other 3 kids who live with Kaggia’s parents.

Life has been good. I am grateful since I have been able to meet my baby mama and I will be meeting her mum so we can agree on how I will be accessing my kids

JB Masanduku also went on to add that current wife Ms Karanja, already met his ex-wife Tina Kaggia; and although I can promise that these two can’t be besties – at least their kids can be friends at some point in life.

She met Tina as well and things are good.

Then one day, I received a call from people asking to give me some job as an MC, which I agreed. They tricked to meet me for the job. When I met the person, I found out it was Tina Kaggia’s lawyer and a police officer, and they served me the divorce letter. I had to be attending the mentions, and finally we divorced,” JB narrated.

JB also opened up about dating Tina who is 7 years older than him. He revealed that he proposed to Tina after only 11 days of knowing her.

“I engaged Tina after 11 days of knowing each other because the first time I saw her was when I had come to do some voice test here at Radio Jambo. We started dating as a joke and even wrote on social media. We received backlash, of course, and finally we said we needed to officiate everything. We went to her parents and we did our wedding, despite her being seven years older than me.”

This #tbt .my #2 had finally fallen asleep in my arms after hours and hours of fussing. It was a Sunday and nothing I did would soothe him to sleep.When I think about the circumstances surrounding that day and some previous events, I was under tons of stress so I wasn’t happy at all. My son was feeling my not so positive energy and it was affecting him as well. Your children feed off your energy. When you are happy, they are happy. When you are depressed or sad, so are they. It is very important what you feed your kids emotionally. I’m glad I managed to find my serenity . I can not over emphasize how much good it has done for them. #kagia02 #boylion #heartbeat #son#mummysperfectgentleman
