Scandal 1: DJ Mo’s Love Triangle
Let’s begin with DJ Mo, who found himself in a love triangle more twisted than a Nairobi matatu route. A lady, with seemingly less fame but more ambition, claimed she’d had an affair with our gospel DJ. His reaction? Brush it off like dust on his turntables. However, his wife, the lovely gospel artiste Size 8, wasn’t about to let her marriage go down without a fight. She reportedly prayed for their marriage amid the storm, and they even took a vacation, splashing their unshaken family photos all over social media.
Scandal 2: Jalang’o and His Boys’ Club Cheating Scandal
Next up, we have Jalang’o and his boys’ club, a saga that brought a whole new meaning to the phrase “boys will be boys.” In this scandal, a boys-only WhatsApp group was used not to discuss football, but to compete on who could ‘bed’ the most women. This was more than just locker room talk; it was an Olympic event. Jalang’o admitted the group’s existence but denied the cheating rumors faster than a hungry hyena spotting leftover nyama choma.
Scandal 3: Babu Owino and DJ Evolve Shooting Scandal
In one of the most shocking scandals of 2020, the flashy Embakasi East MP, Babu Owino, found himself in court over an alleged shooting of DJ Evolve. It was like a scene straight out of a Hollywood movie, only this time, the popcorn was replaced with public outrage. DJ Evolve has since forgiven the MP, making the rest of us wonder if forgiveness is now the new Kenyan law.
Scandal 4: DK Kwenye Beat and Hopekid Sex Scandal
We switch gears to a scandal that had more twists and turns than a River Road matatu. Gospel singers HopeKid and DK Kwenye Beat found themselves caught in a sex scandal that was as shocking as it was disturbing. It involved a 20-year-old woman, a threesome, and a contracted case of Herpes. The two had to publicly apologize and asked for prayers.
Scandal 5: Ruto’s Room 350 Weston Hotel
Let’s take a walk down the corridors of power, where we find Deputy President William Ruto. A room at Weston Hotel, allegedly used for his sexual escapades, brought a new definition to the term ‘political affairs.’ Blogger Robert Alai claimed that room 350 was the DP’s ‘slaughterhouse,’ a place where he satisfied his ‘manly needs.’
Scandal 6: The Jacque Maribe Saga
News anchor Jacque Maribe found herself in a suspense-filled thriller when her fiancé was arrested over the murder of businesswoman Monica Kimani. The anchor was tossed into the whirlwind of courtroom drama, her plea for bail rooted in the need to care for her young son. It was a tale filled with tension, suspense, and heartbreak, playing out not on TV screens, but in real life.
Scandal 7: The Caroline Mutoko & Mutula Kilonzo Affair
Moving on to the realms of mystery and speculation, we revisit the saga involving Caroline Mutoko and the late Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo. A blog run by Robert Alai suggested that Mutoko was the mysterious woman present at Mutula’s house when he died. However, Mutoko stood her ground, providing an alibi and threatening to sue the blog for defamation. The drama behind this scandal would make a gripping telenovela plot.
Scandal 8: Prophet Kanyari’s Deception
Our next stop on this scandal-ridden journey is at the doors of Prophet Kanyari’s Salvation Healing Ministry. In a shocking expose, it was revealed that the miracles performed in his ministry were nothing more than a con. He disappeared after the expose only to resurface with a new scam dubbed the ‘310 panda mbegu’ scheme. It seems the prophet was more interested in the miracle of money than divine intervention.
Scandal 9: Kabi WaJesus’ Family Drama
YouTube sensation Kabi WaJesus found himself in a family saga worthy of a soap opera script. He fathered a daughter with his cousin, a shocking revelation that caused quite a stir among his fans. But like a true YouTuber, he managed to turn his misstep into a stepping stone, and his career continued to soar.
Scandal 10: Timmy Tdat’s Video Vixen Incident
Timmy Tdat took center stage in a scandal that had more action than a Hollywood blockbuster. A video emerged capturing him getting a bit too hands-on with a video vixen. The incident was unsettling for the vixen and downright shocking for the public. Tdat has since kept a low profile, leaving us to wonder if his star is dimming or if he’s simply waiting for his next big break.
Scandal 11: Ciku Muiruri and the Artur Brothers
Ciku Muiruri, the ‘Busted’ presenter, found herself the object of ridicule after a video showed her getting cozy with one of the notorious Artur brothers. The clip was released as part of an investigation into Saitoti’s death. Muiruri defended herself in a lengthy post, but the saga continued to generate whispers and side-eye glances.
Scandal 12: DJ Creme’s Sex Tape
And finally, we revisit the scandal that rocked the nation – DJ Creme’s sex tape. This scandal was as big as they come, with a video of the DJ’s intimate encounter going viral. He was forced to apologize publicly for the incident, proving that even the biggest celebrities aren’t immune to making mistakes.
Scandal 13: The Rufftone-Daddy Owen Political Melee
And just when you thought the drama couldn’t get any more intriguing, we step into the world of political discord within family lines. In a shocking revelation, Rufftone claimed that his own brother, Daddy Owen, attempted to attack him with a machete over political differences. He shared a tale from 2007 when political affiliations led to a dangerous standoff. Thankfully, this family feud didn’t end in tragedy. Later, the two downplayed the incident, stating that Rufftone’s statement had been misunderstood and was only meant as an illustration.
