“Day 20 without ugali, rice, and dinner,” YY noted, celebrating the reduction of his belly fat. “We are almost flat… the next two months will be a different story. Stay tuned,” he added.

In another video, YY emphasized that weight loss is “80% diet and 20% training,” encouraging people to either cut back on or eliminate ugali from their diets. “Reduce or stop eating ugali… ugali!!!” he urged.

He concluded by posting more workout videos and additional tips that are assisting him on his journey. He humorously remarked, “I forgot… chapati too! Stay away from it like a pest, especially that one,” alongside several laughing emojis. His final piece of advice? Avoid eating after 6 PM: “If it’s six and you haven’t eaten anything, push it to the next day.”

Stand-up comedian YY has taken to social media to refute recent claims made by fellow comedian Paul “Wakimani” Ogutu. Wakimani had alleged that comedy icon Daniel Ndambuki, better known as Churchill, gifted all his comedians on the Churchill Show with cars and Ksh300,000 each at a meeting.

YY, through his Instagram, strongly denied these claims. He questioned Wakimani’s motives and clarified that the car and cash story is entirely fabricated. He expressed concern that Wakimani’s statements paint both YY and other comedians as ungrateful, while also putting them in the awkward position of publicly debunking false information.

“Let me clarify because a lot of people are asking,” YY stated. “No one bought us cars, no one Paul. You cannot make people look ungrateful. Of whose interest is all this showroom story?”

He further expressed frustration that many comedians hesitate to openly contradict Wakimani’s claims for fear of appearing disrespectful towards Churchill. This, he claims, creates a difficult situation where factual clarification becomes challenging.

“Comedians can’t talk because they will look like they are fighting Churchill and everyone is carefully looking for a specific angle to respond to this story. The direct answer is nobody bought us cars. Sijui mahali Paulo ametoa hiyo story,” YY concluded, implying his complete lack of understanding regarding Wakimani’s motives or source of information.

The complexities of modern dating often ignite heated debates, and comedian YY has joined the conversation, offering his perspective on the concept of “settling” in relationships.

YY, known for his appearances on Churchill Show, argues that the narrative of women “settling” for financially struggling men is a simplistic and misleading one. He draws a parallel, highlighting that men in their 20s who chase women while still financially unstable are also driven by a sense of desperation.

“Men in their 20s’ are usually rejected by women because they are struggling and lack resources.
During the twenties that’s when men also simp a lot so if you(a man) get someone to date in your early 20s, they were probably rejected. If you are desperate and you get someone to date, they are equally desperate,” YY stated in a conversation with his wife on her YouTube channel.

He challenges the romanticized notion of “building an empire together” with a man, suggesting that it can sometimes mask a deeper need for security or validation. Instead, YY advocates for building genuine partnerships where both individuals contribute and grow together, regardless of their financial starting point.

While acknowledging the pressure to succeed in a world increasingly focused on material wealth and the rise of platforms like OnlyFans, YY encourages young people to prioritize building meaningful connections. He emphasizes the importance of finding someone who respects and values your individuality, not just your perceived role in their success.

Kenyan comedian YY has defended the source of wealth of former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko. YY made the comments during an interview with SPM Buzz, where he was asked about his opinion on the high rise of celebrities living a fake lifestyle.

“Sonko does not need to prove he has money,” YY said. “We have seen him help people. We have seen him send cash to people via mobile banking. He has paid for people’s burials, and school fees among other things. If he gives it is because he has money. He has been an MP, Senator, and Governor so we have not been brainwashed to believe he has money. Some Kenyans are just haters hence they need to be shut. He does not need to be a governor to be making money.”

YY also shared advice on how to get rich and remain there. “If you go to a club and see someone pouring down alcohol, maybe he is a thief or he has just gotten a deal for the first time,” he said. “One secret to getting rich is good decision-making. Poor decision-making does not bring wealth.”

Sonko recently showed off 30 million after a ‘friend’ alleged the former governor had stolen from him. The man in the viral audio also accused the politician of neglecting his kids. In the video, the politician can be seen opening huge suitcases full of wads of cash in foreign denominations as he called out a certain person for doubting his wealth.

Sonko’s wealth has been a source of controversy for many years. He has been accused of corruption and misuse of public funds. However, he has never been convicted of any crime.

YY’s comments come at a time when there is a growing debate about the source of wealth of many Kenyan celebrities. Some people believe that celebrities are living a fake lifestyle and that they are not as wealthy as they appear to be. Others believe that celebrities are entitled to spend their money however they want.

The debate about the source of wealth of celebrities is likely to continue for some time. It is a complex issue with no easy answers.

Andrew Kibe has once again roped in response from a celebrity after he insinuated that Comedian YY’s daughter isn’t actually his daughter.

According to Kibe, the uncanny resemblance of YY’s daughter to Butita is one to question. Recently, YY Comedian had shared a video of his daughter playing with Butita’s phone and in the process, the mobile phone fell and the screen cracked.

The two jesters started a conversation about who should be responsible for the phone repair. Eddie Butita said YY should pay since his baby dropped the phone while YY said Butita should be responsible since he gave the phone to the baby and he should also try to reason with her.

Kibe’s Reaction

Since Kibe is used to such ‘tea’ his reaction was imminent. He went ahead and shared the clip, denigrating YY comedian.

Comedian Oliver Otieno (YY) is not only a renowned jester, but also a talented pianist. The comedian has on several occasions shown us how good he is when it comes to playing the piano. And indeed he is.

The jester recently flaunted his skills via his Instagram page; where he collaborated with gospel artist Jabidii.

In the video, YY is seen playing the piano as his friends sin in unisorn ‘usifiwe, uabudiwe’.(Be praised and worshipped).

YY flaunted the video and wrote;

”Had fun last night with the Boyz ????????@didimanmusic @jabidii_music @roland”

Comedian YY recently unveiled his newly found love after she gave birth to their first born child. It was a shrewd move for the jester as he waited meticulously for the right moment to introduce the new chick to the public; despite lying to fans that he never had someone in mind to be his partner. Moreover, he claimed in a previous interview that he was a virgin.

YY went on to promise his baby mama Marya a vacation to a destination of her choice but jokingly requested her not to choose a place outside Nairobi.

“Thank you for pushing….I want you to choose a destination you would love to visit..na isikuwe nje ya Nairobi please ni January @officialmarya_1,” he said.

The two have been an item for a while but preferred to keep their relationship under wraps.

YY Responds

The comedian was recently provoked to respond to sentiments about his relationship not lasting, just like Mulamwah’s relationship with his baby mama Carrol Sonie. We’re well aware about Mulamwah’s relationship with Sonie that ended in premium tears and an expose that left so many fans flabbergasted.

He insinuated that his relationship would be an everlasting one like our predecessors. Below is his reaction to one of his fan’s comment;

Comedian YY, whose real name is Oliver Otieno, revealed the various hassles of life he has undergone since his childhood. The rib-cracking comedian revealed that most of the struggle involved physical abuse.

In an interview on Churchill Show, Journey Series, YY reveals that he loved his dad and that’s why he took his name as his stage name. However, the aspect of his dad being a drunkard was the only thing he disliked about him since he got very abusive to his mother when drunk. This is why the comedian swore never to drink alcohol in his life.

The funnyman also revealed that their house was made of mud.

”…tulikuwa tunaishi kwa nyumba ya matope na hii nyumba tulikuwa na dirisha za chuma lakini hazina vioo…”

”I was raised in Nairobi for 8 years until my Dad passed on when I was in Standard 3. My dad was actually an alcoholic and he used to beat my Mum sana. So I wanted really to protect my mother, so most of the time akimpiga nilikuwa naingia hapo katikati to intervene.

And this changed and that’s one of the reason mimi mpaka sai sikunywangi because I did not want to be like my father in that specific regard. My dad was a great person in all other aspects and that’s why nilichukua jina yake nikaanza kutumia kwa usanii. But that aspect of kuwa drunkard ilinichange sana as for who I am today.”

Most successful people seem to have undergone a lot through their earlier life. This should be an encouragement to our youth today that great things takes time to happen.
