Published on June 13, 2020, Xtian Dela's online show, Club Covid, has been a huge success, raising over Sh5.8 million for talented artistes affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Speaking on comedian Jalang'o's YouTube show Bonga na Jalas, Dela revealed that the highest amount collected in a single night was Sh700,000.
So far, the show has paid 576 young talented people, with a total of Sh5,875,602 raised.
According to Dela, he started the show to help those who lost their jobs due to the pandemic, including video vixens, dancers, and entertainers.
He explained, 'A lot of entertainers lost business, events were cancelled, video vixens, dancers, talented people, they all lost their jobs.'
He added, 'I know these people and there is nothing as painful as someone calling you in the morning and telling you to go home with just Sh100 because you hadn't eaten the previous day.'
With the aim of providing a platform for dancers and video vixens to earn a living, Dela's show has been a huge success, with people sending as little as Sh10 and even Sh100,000.
However, the show has not been without controversy, with Dela facing accusations of broadcasting obscene content and reportedly engaging young girls before the show.
