Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Radio host Jalang’o is usually identified by his green suit. The suit is always worn with an animal print trademark blouse that all his fans are also used to.

Luck

The comedian recently explained how he came up with his signature dress code. According to Jalango, it wasn’t planned at all and he really just needed to get on stage fast when he happened to pick the blouse.

“About this shirt. I only have 1..Ok about this blouse! First it is made of siphon…is that the right word? So we were acting at the national theatre and I was late to change and get into my next scene so I picked anything to just wear….I picked this blouse that belonged to arigi…everyone laughed when I got on stage….As they say the rest is_______________?,” He said on Instagram.

Jalango gave me Ksh 6000 and started telling everyone how he helped my career- Otile and Jalas recount beef 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Singer Otile Brown and presenter Jalang’o have finally addressed their beef.

Apparently, the two have been fighting because when Otile was starting out as an artist, Jalango kept telling guys that he helped him build his career while in real sense, he only gave him Ksh 6000.

Jalang’o felt that Otile was being too proud and since then he stopped communicating to him. The two however made up recently during the radio show saying it was all a misunderstanding.

“Mimi na ndugu yangu huyu ni kama pia tuko na grudge! Na leo nataka tuizungumze, we are finishing everything today,”Otile said.

“Wakati Wakhungu alikuwa anasoma news hapa na furahi kuwa mumeweza kumazila differences zenu na sasa mambo yako sawa. I like how you deal with your issues kiutu uzima sana. And with that spirit utaenda mbali sana,” said Mwakideu.

Thankful

Both artists were thankful that they have managed to put the beef aside and focus on growth.

Otile said, “Nashukuru kwamba tumeweza kuongea na mambo yetu yamekwendasawa.”

To which Jalang’o added, “Kabisa sai tuko tayari kufanya kazi pamoja and I can’t wait for your next project.”

Comedian and radio host Jalang’o has gotten tired of Ringtone’s increasing online drama and is now urging him to go back to making music.

Ringtone started in a low gear when he first said he wanted to marry Zari Hassan.

Since then, it has been one controversial post after another something that has angered a section of Kenyans.

Jalang’o, who also blasted him when he claimed he wanted to buy a Range Rover for Zari, attacked him for his side shows on social media.

Fake

He also claimed that Ringtone has been faking a lot of things on social media including warning letters that he has been getting from his Runda community.

“Ringtone Apoko can you please stop your dramas and sing. Please stop your jokes and sing. Ringtone stop your side shows just sing. You should also do away with these things of writing warning letters to yourself, you are the chairman, the residents, your cows, the secretary, just sing,” Jalas said. 

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

Comedian Jalang’o has been hoping around radio stations lately, with Milele FM being his latest home. At Milele, the comedian rejoined his friend Alex Mwakideu who he worked with at Radio Maisha before he ditched him for Hot 96.

Jalas recently opened up on why he ditched the station and his friend behind saying money came in between them. The offer was so sweet that Jalango had to leave.

Blame money

“What happened is when I left Maisha and he stayed there we only left the Maisha we did not leave the friendship.” he said.

“So I think if there is one person I hang out with is still Alex even when we were apart and guys kept on asking now you guys why are you lying to us that you are not together anymore you need to get yourselves back here. But anyway my reason for leaving Alex was very very simple. It was money. So I went somewhere where I was needed not where I was loved,” he stated.

The real reason why Jalango left Radio Maisha finally revealed…trust me you never saw this coming

The reason for his departure was crowded in mystery but the truth is finally out or rather we suppose it is. We tried uncovering the mystery weeks back when Martin Odour revealed he was heading to Hot 96 but unfortunately that never came into fruition as Radio Maisha gave him a counter offer and retained him.

As revealed by Business Today however, the big political boys later came calling and there was no way Jalango was going to resist the offer.

As the publication revealed, the MC cum event organizer is scheduled to join Joho and Anyang Nyongo’s political teams where he’s supposed to offer his expertise on matters communication, strategy, events and propaganda; not quite sure how that last point works.

Under what capacity he’ll be doing this is not quite clear but keep it here for more of the juice!
