Comedian Eric Omondi recently broke many hearts after announcing that her much followed and envied relationship with Italian lover Chantal Grazioli is no more.

Omondi broke the news on social media where he posted a very mature break up. Not many Kenyans however, bought the whole statement with many believing it’s just another stunt on the way.

“I will miss you,” read a part of Omondi’s lengthy post.

“I met you when you were only 19. I have known you for 4 and a half years. [I have] shared and created some of the best moments in life with you. You changed my life completely.

“As you move into your new phase in life — with or without me — I want to wish you all the best, my love.

“The paths that brought us together are now facing different directions, and as you move on in your path, I wish you the best life has to offer.

“I pray to God Almighty that He may keep you… May He lead you…

“May He watch over you…I want to let you know that I will always be here for you anytime, every time. As you fly away, my Love, may you glow, shine like the angel that you are.

“I will miss you. Every moment. Every single moment. You are the best thing that happened to me! Na kwa wale wadau wadaku, Chantal and I are okay. We were friends long before we were lovers and our friendship stays for life.

“And to those young men and women who prefer to take each others’ lives at the end of a relationship, let this be a lesson to you all. You do not own a person and it doesn’t always work out. Anyway, guys have yourselves a blessed day and remember to wish Chantal a happy birthday this coming Friday.”

Games

The post comes just hours after Omondi confessed that he needs Ksh 80 million for a wedding because he plans to wed her son. So, is he playing with our hearts?

So I went into Times Square dressed traditionally with some cabbages, some kales, basically African vegetables and they were giving me money.

“First they came and they were wondering what’s going on and so I was speaking in Swahili and I explained to them that this is actual African medicine and it only goes for 20 Dollars. After three minutes business was booming,” narrated Eric Omondi.

The comedian even shared the video online then. People were really interested in what he was doing many believing he’s a real witch doctor.

Omondi said that they have always been friends ever since and even shared that he supported her while she was in jail.

“Till now we are still friends and every time we tell ourselves that whatever happens, we will still remain friends. I chat her on messages but I will not say if I visited her when she was incarcerated,”he said. 

Baby Shower

Omondi also added that he never attended Maribe’s baby show’s after party that was hosted by none other than Itumbi, at his house, because he was not in the country then.

Speaking to BBC Africa, the comedian opened up of how his late brother Joseph Onyango Omondi died because of cocaine addiction in June.

“I was told that he needs crack to come back, so they were asking for money to go buy that staff. First I refused but his friends instead that he needs it to come back to normal. So we gave him and in less than a minute he was active. We talk.”

Almost a decade

Omondi said that he’s brother had been an addict for 19 years.

“I remember when he was active he was like “Eric you are here” we talked and agreed to take him to hospital then next day because it was late in the night. And I think that was our last conversation.  He was addicted for 19 years since 1999 until his death. He Quit school to come to Nairobi to join our cousin who was in Nairobi. So while in Nairobi he was introduced to cocaine by our cousin who was buy then dating a white guy” said Omondi.

Omondi went on to add that his family tried forcing him into rehab but his brother wasn’t ready for such help.

“He was extremely addicted, we took him too rehab countless times. We had decided as a family that we are going to help him come out of the addiction, but that was the mistake, it was us who decided and not him. I came to Nairobi in 2003, I was happy that I had a brother so I could go and visit him. But I noticed things were not well. So slowly he got addicted” he said.

Adding:

“Random people could just call me, telling me I was busy on TV while my brother was out on the streets. But people could not understand that I have tried my best. I had told myself that I will manage to help him, but little did I knew how deep his addiction had gone,” Omondi stated.
