On Saturday, July 4, 2020, celebrated Kenyan songstress Akothee revealed how a Kenyan comedian had been living in a very cold hall for lack of a better place to stay.
According to Akothee, the comedian had been sleeping in the hall because he could not afford to pay for his own rent, and his house had been locked over rent arrears.
Akothee promised to help the comedian by clearing his rent arrears and mobilising help from government representatives for the sake of the said comedian.
She also urged comedians to always talk to people and seek help when things go south and not to die in silence for fear of judgment.
''As we are talking right now, there is a comedian sleeping in a hall, kicked out from his house, I don't know how long he has been sleeping there with this Nairobi cold, I have asked to go fetch him, I will send him rent arrears today so he can go back home, people are suffering,'' she wrote.
''I will call a few government officials who are my friends and see if they can assist me with something I top up with what I have and see if we can save the celebrities who are not able to feed for now,'' she added.
