Ciku Muiruri slams Ciru Muriuki for being a cry baby and using her name for attention
Former radio presenter Ciku Muiruri has attacked Ciru Muriuki for always seeking attention using her name which she can easily avoid.
The Busted host took to social media to post a long post attacking Ciru after fans confused the two yet again raining attacks on Ciru instead of her.
According to the veteran presenter, Ciru could have avoided all this but because she’s always after attention, she keeps encouraging it.
“I did my first radio show in 1998. In my many, many, many, years on radio doing Busted etc I have used my name. On my newspaper columns, I have used my name. On my book #LoveisButADream and all my social media pages, I have used my name. Someone comes onto the scene many, many, many years later, has and uses a name similar to mine and now cries victim every time she is mistaken for me,” she said.
Crying
She went on to add that even after being asked to change her name, Ciru went on to use it.
“A boss of ours – Pete Sinclair – actually refused her to use the name during her stint at Radio Africa and said she would be mistaken for me. She had no choice but to listen to him and use her English name. All was well. But alas, she then went on to join NTV where she disregarded his advice and went on use the name. Enter the case of mistaken identity that follows until this very day. And now, I am supposedly the bad guy because I need to watch what I tweet for her sake. Wait, what?
A friend of hers actually went on a morning TV show and said my ‘bad manners’ (??) are affecting her. What the actual hell? That’s the final straw for me. I refuse to be used as a punching bag when you found me here, minding my own business.
If you want your brand to stand out, the first logical step is NOT to ride on someone else’s name and then cry foul when it no longer suits you.
