Dr Ofweneke Calls Out Kenyan Blogs for Spreading Gossip

Comedian and events host Dr Ofweneke has taken aim at Kenyan blogs, accusing them of spreading gossip and ruining careers.

The comedian, whose real name is Sunday Bush, said he no longer gives interviews to blogs because he believes they are not interested in authentic content.

“I no longer tolerate nonsense from blogs,” he said. “I have been in this industry for 14 years to just sit there and let blogs spoil my career with silly stories. You write nonsense about me and I come for you.”

Dr Ofweneke also said that most blogs, especially up-and-coming ones, lack rational, morals, and objectivity in reporting.

“I think we are giving people too much power over our destinies,” he said. “I’m not going to be those weaklings in the industry, just because someone has a camera, a phone, and a keyboard. The very few blogs I give an audience to are the big and popular ones with authentic content.”

The comedian warned that any blog that writes gossip about him should be ready to face him, saying that he will never give them the satisfaction of responding to their stories.

Dr Ofweneke also said that he is too busy to spend his time on clout chasing like some of his peers in the industry. He said that he rarely keeps tabs on what is happening on social media, and that he is focused on his career and his family.

“Let me tell you, I don’t know what happens on social media,” he said. “Do you know how many companies I run? I am on radio, on TV, emceeing events, and I have a marriage to maintain. When will I get the time for social media just to follow other people’s lives?”

Dr Ofweneke’s comments are a rare public rebuke of Kenyan blogs, which have long been accused of spreading gossip and rumors. However, his comments are likely to be welcomed by many celebrities who have been the victims of blog smear campaigns.
