Njugush: We were so broke we used a fridge given as gift during our wedding as cupboard because we had no food 

Comedian Njugush has revisited his tough journey to stardom after he left Real Househelps of Kawangware show.

Speaking in an interview, Njugush said they had to endure a lot as he pushed to make a name in the industry.

“I had just left the Real Househelps of Kawangware show. I had no idea what to do. We got broke. We had been given a fridge during our wedding and we were using as a cupboard because we had no food to put in it. We were jobless, and we came up with this idea to record some funny videos and post them on our social media platforms.” he said.

Lost hope

He added that there was a bit of hope when someone offered to pay them for their funny videos but everything later came crashing down after the deal was canceled before even picking off.

“Someone offered to pay us for a series of videos. I could not believe that I could actually get paid to do that. So I sold my 32-inch TV for sh15,000, hired a camera, borrowed a laptop, learned editing online and shot the videos, only for the person to say that the client was no longer interested. I was crushed.

“We realised that if one person was willing to pay, even if the money was not paid, we could make some money out of it from other people.”

“While our days of struggling are a distant memory, I have this niggling fear of failure. That is what drives me. The thought of someone in future coming and asking, ‘what happened? You used to be so successful!”

Comedian Njugush attacked by Kenyans after posting ‘rape joke’, forced to apologize 

It’s rare to see fans clashing with comedian Njugush on his Instagram page but last weekend, the comedian was forced to make a public a apology after a joke backfired.

The witty comedian who lives off social media jokes, annoyed a section of his fans after posting a clip that many believed promotes rape. And you know how social media responds to such clips.

Apology

Fans attacked the comedian forcing him to delete the viral clip and make an apology for the video. The clip, which he shot with his wife as usual, has the comedian jokingly complaining to his wife that they need to go home together after he spent so much money on her after an outing.

@__njeri__ Njugush’ video post wasn’t necessary. Those are the ones you record & delete maze. The fact that he had said “if you not okay with it,pole” could have just made him think twice

@alewazza254 Njugush’s video was actually ill-informed, meaning he doesn’t quite get how sensitive the issue of consent is…my problem is with the double standards from a section of KOT calling him out, you see the kind of shit they post/rt/do and think to yourself “huyu hawezi nishow any”

@kerry_komar At one point we all do mistakes!! It’s very much acceptable. Njugush has done a lot of things positively, he as been continuously cracking our ribs everyday. We thank you Don’t hate him but lets correct him in a right way Hope @BlessedNjugush will collect himself.

Here’s the clip:
