Comedian Paul Wakimani Ogutu has been open about his three-year battle with depression, which he has been trying to manage with alcohol.
Wakimani's struggles began after the death of his best friend, Ayieya, in 2017. Ayieya's family has been demanding Ksh 21 Million from Wakimani, who they accuse of causing the accident.
However, Wakimani has revealed that he has been struggling with depression since then. In an interview with theoriginalpadre254, he opened up about his current state and how he has been using alcohol to cope with his depression.
Wakimani shared that he has been going through depression for the last three years and it hasn't been an easy road for him. He revealed that he used to drink a lot and was drowning in his problems, which made it difficult for others to understand him.
He also spoke about his experience on Churchill show, where he felt like he was being pushed out due to some issues. He felt that the creative director, Victor Ber, was not understanding of his situation and was making things difficult for him.
Wakimani's confession about his struggles with depression and alcohol has sparked a lot of reactions from his fans and the public.
