Recently, Abel Mutua did an interview with the mic check podcast where he explained his relationship with Sarah Hassan on set. He claimed to have taken an opportunity on the last episode of The Tahidi High Show to write in a kissing scene between him and Sarah, which would fulfill a fantasty of his. He said
“Mungu ni nani. Our very last episode nikasema huyu dem amekuwa akiniyima walahi, the very second last scene of my episode on the show, nilimpiga mate kwa class. Nilimkiss mbaya. Ni script. Sasa unakataa na ni script inasema?”

He has now come out to defend himself. In an interview with Ankali Ray of Milele FM, he spoke of the whole thing being strictly acting:
“Sasa hiyo ni hitilafu ya huyu aliyeeleza uvumbi. Hakuwatch hiyo podcast vizuri. Hiyo podcast haikuwa story ya Abel Mutua, Dennis Mugo na Sarah Hassan. Ilikuwa story ya characters zao. Audience walikuwa wanavouch sana for OJ na Tanya. Hawakuwa wanataka Freddie ashinde hii vita. Sasa kwa ile hali ya uandishi nikaamua kuwabwaga. Wakati huo tulikuwa kwa mahusiano sisi wote watatu. It was a character war, not sisi wenyewe.”
