Comedian YY has denied claims that Churchill Show founder Daniel Ndambuki, alias Churchill, at some point gave his comedians cars and Sh300,000 each.
Comedian Paul Wakimani alleged that Churchill once gifted his comedians the cars and cash to appreciate them.
In a rejoinder to the claims, YY who was also part of the Churchill show performers said:
"Let me clarify because a lot of people are asking why no one bought us cars. No one, Paul you can't make people look that ungrateful of whose interest is all this showroom stories?" YY posed.
"Comedians can't talk coz they will look like they are fighting Churchill and everyone is too careful looking for a specific angle to respond to this story. The direct answer is nobody bought us cars. Sijui mahali Paulo ametoka an hii story?"
In an interview with Plug TV, Wakimani shared that Churchill called his comedian for a meeting during which he asked them what they wanted.
During the meeting, Wakimani said Churchill raised concern that some of them were complaining that he had never helped them.
"He asked us what we wanted him to do for us on that particular day. Some of us said they wanted cars, while others wanted him to support them in doing shows,” revealed Wakimani.
He said the comedians were divided into groups based on their preferences – those desiring cars and those seeking financial support for shows.
Wakimani then alleged that Churchill gave each group of three Sh300,000 to organize and perform shows outside Nairobi.
For those aspiring to own cars, Wakimani claimed Churchill directed them to showrooms to pick their preferred vehicles.
Wakimani expressed that some comedians still use the cars Churchill bought them then.
While he couldn’t recall specific individuals who received cars, he claimed that comedian Eddie Butita, Njoro, Jemutai, and Karis, among others, were part of the group that benefitted from Churchill’s support.
“We were put in groups of those who wanted cars and those who wanted money to do shows. He gave us, Sh300k each group of three to go and do the shows out of Nairobi."
