Obinna Explains Absence from Mulamwah’s Show, Reveals He Was Blocked

Comedian Oga Obinna has opened up about his absence from Mulamwah’s sold-out stand-up special, clarifying that he neither harbors bad blood nor intentionally snubbed the event.

“Let me speak for myself,” he said during an interview. “First, I wasn’t invited. Second, I already had a prior engagement. And later, I had to deal with a personal issue involving my son.”

Obinna revealed—amid laughter—that he only discovered on the day of the show that Mulamwah had blocked him on social media.

“I’ve got no beef with Mulamwah. But when I tried to check his page to see how the show went, I realized I’d been blocked,” he said.

At the time of the event, Obinna had been attending a charity function, which he said made it impossible for him to support his colleague in person.

Underlying Tension?

Unbeknown to Obinna, the apparent fallout may have stemmed from a recent episode of “The Weekly Show,” which he co-hosts with Dem Wa Facebook.

In the episode, Dem joked about Mulamwah’s son resembling the late actor Papa Shirandula, and Obinna was seen laughing at the remark—something that may have struck a nerve with Mulamwah.

Shortly after Obinna’s interview made headlines, Mulamwah responded cryptically on Instagram with a Swahili caption:

“Mwenye alikunia kwa barabara husahau lakini mwenye alikanyaga hatawai sahau. Tofali ulikulia hapa kababaa.”

(“The one who defecated on the road forgets, but the one who stepped on it never forgets. You ate the brick here, son.”)

The post sparked immediate speculation online, with many interpreting it as a direct jab at Obinna.

Mixed Reactions from Fans

Rumors began circulating that many celebrities may have skipped the event due to strained relations with Mulamwah. Some users claimed that Mulamwah is often absent from others’ events, possibly explaining the low turnout by some public figures.

However, those claims were quickly shut down as several celebrities, including YY Comedian, Nana Owiti, Butita, Vinnie Baite, Arrow Bwoy, and Iyaani, shared photos and videos confirming their attendance—offering public support and congratulating Mulamwah for the milestone.

As drama continues to unfold online, neither Obinna nor Mulamwah has offered further clarification, but fans are keeping a close eye on the next moves from both camps.
