Popular Kenyan Celebs Who Disappeared Without A Trace. Part 1 (Photos)
The entertainment industry is an unpredictable industry at one time you are at the top of your game getting all the hottest gigs and making mad cash, then you just fall off the face of the earth and are forgotten.
Below is a list of celebrities who enjoyed great publicity but at some point some fell off the wagon while others retired and were never heard of again. Or if there are spoken of, it’s just in a passing conversation.
1. Charity Kimani-KTN
If you go around and ask if people if they know who Charity Kimani is ,most people will ask you, Charity Who?
And you have to go like ‘That KTN chic who looks like Lillian Muli’ for people to remember her.
She has a budding career in showbiz but after getting fired from KTN, few remember her.
2. Muthoni Bwika
Back in her ‘Hey Days’ Muthoni was considered the only competition for Caroline Mutoko in the Radio Queen category. So potent was she, that even legendary Musician E-Sir acknowledged her game in one of his tracks saying that. ..rap bila mimi ni kama kiss bila Muthoni Bwika.
About a decade on, Muthoni is no longer around and all we have is fond memories.
3. Flexx
The last I heard of Flexx he was singing that ‘Nyundo’ song that was loaded with heavy sexual innuendos and asking f a girl’s number. He was among the biggest artistes in Calif records but no one gets to hear of the Calif Legend anymore.
4. Fresh Freddy
Remember Fresh Freddy? The guy that made girls drool lustfully and keel over in the Close Up Advert. Whatever happened to him? This industry is fickle I tell you!
5. Namtero Mdee a.ka. Tero
I think hers story is the saddest and reminds us a lot about Esther Arunga’s case.
She came from a beautiful award winning belle with a bright future ahead in showbiz. Then she got married to some pastor who put her in vitenges and headscarves and Tero became a shadow of her former self.
Her career in the industry also gave up the ghost and Tero is now a distant memory. Meanwhile, her sister Vanessa Mdee is soaring to greater heights and is recognized as one of Africa’s greatest female artistes.
