On Tuesday morning, a heated discussion erupted online regarding the perceived role of comedian Jalang'o in the firing of Andrew Kibe from Radio Africa's Kiss 100. Published on June 30, 2020, Kibe had informed his fans through Twitter of the exit, bringing to an end his two-year stint at Lions Place.
According to Kibe, his departure could be owed to censorship, his seniors falling out with the kind of content he preferred to air. He stated, 'I gave my notice three months ago because I was being censored on the content I could put out on national radio.'
With his exit, assertions arose that Jalang'o could be his successor to keep it rolling alongside Kamene Goro. However, Jalang'o has denied any involvement in Kibe's departure, stating that they are friends and he had reached out to him concerning the news.
'I have just spoken to him and he told me he disagreed with the station,' Jalang'o said. The comic has been one of the TTs on Twitter on Tuesday, tweeps calling him out for allegedly occasioning Andrew Kibe's move out of Kiss.
After quitting Milele FM last week, Jalas has already attracted a handful of radio roles, with his heart being set along Waiyaki Way. He joked, 'I was asleep and when I woke up, I found myself trending at number one.'
