Vitisho tu! They said i’ll die after building my mum a house. I’m still waiting- Jalang’o 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Radio host Jalong’o has revealed that building a house for his mum was surrounded by a lot of controversy.

Speaking on radio, Jalang’o told fellow host Alex Mwakideu that after his father passed away, he decided to build his mother a house but was told it was against Luo traditions.

Traditions

Many people told him that he’ll die in the process but Jalango brushed them off and decided to secure a better future for his mum. Jalang’o explained that according to the Luo, it was taboo for him to build her house and flouting it meant courting death.

The comedian said that he went on and bought land and built his mother a house, but he is still waiting to die.

Here’s what he said:

“Mwakideu mimi naweza kwambia hakuna kitu kama uganga. Hakuna kitu kama hiyo. Sijawahi amini kwa sababu unajua kuna zile tamaduni za ndani kabisa ambazo watu wanakuambia hii haiwezi fanyika kabla hii ifanyike. Kama wajaluo tuko na utamaduni mwingi sana ya kwanza ilikuwa siwezi mjengea mamangu nyumba. Nikawaambia kama mungu ambaye namatumikia ataniua kwa sababu nimemjengea mamangu nyumba, wacha nife. Mpaka sahii nangoja kufa kwa sababu nimemjengea mamangu nyumba. Kwa sababu wanasema kijana mkubwa ndio anafanya sijui nini na unapomjengea kwa sababu babako alikufa lazima apate mzee mwingine ndio awe mzee wa kambo ndio aweze kumtoa mama kwa nyumba yake kwenda kwa hio ingine… So mimi na kichwa yangu mbaya nikamnunulia mamangu shamba na nikamjengea watu wa kijiji wakalia najiingiza kwa shida nikawaambia wacha nife. Mpaka sahii niko na wewe hapa,” he narrated.

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Gospel singer Size 8 came out to defend the gospel battalion recently after radio presenter Jalang’o trashed their songs insisting they lack content.

“Content hakuna hata kidogo,” said Jalas in a clip that trolled the singers. Size 8 took it to heart and fired back claiming that true worshipers understand the messages in the songs.

“Jalang’o should not judge people with a few songs because ours is the biggest music industry, and I believe every song has a message. Everyone sings differently, thus it would be wrong to judge them with their content.” she said. 

Move on

Size 8 and DJ Mo

It seems Jalang’o doesn’t care much about what she said and is convinced that the gospel industry needs thorough auditing. He also wanted her to know that no apology will be coming her way any time soon.

“Are they asking for your apology?” Jeff asked to which Jalas replied with “Apology? Me?” before laughing hysterically indicating that he will not apologise.

Jalas then went on to add “Size 8 has come out saying I shouldn’t judge people, I should fast, and I don’t know do what. She talked and talked. And you know Size 8 is a very good friend of mine, very good friend. I don’t know why she herself would come out strongly to condemn me.”

Support Kenyan artists first!

However not many were impressed by this. They claim that this was another strategy used by Diamond Platnumz to enough his music gets sufficient air play in Kenya.

This apprently blocks upcoming Kenyan artists to get anywhere since the radio presenters want to continue supporting where they get more cash from.
