Comedian Butita has once again denied rumors about his alleged girlfriend and comedienne Mamitto being pregnant with his child.
According to a recent interview with Radio Maisha's Mwende, Butita stated that if the pregnancy were to occur, he would hold a press conference to make a public announcement.
"Wakati wa mimba nitaita press conference kitu saa kumi niwaambie sasa hatimaye kuna mimba sasa. Anything that is not official is fake news," Butita said in the interview.
Butita claimed that the rumors started from a video they were working on with Mamitto and a picture of what looked like a baby shower was shared on Instagram, which went viral and led to numerous blogs reporting that the couple were expecting a child.
"Kitu ilifanyika tukiwa tunafanya hiyo video kuna picha ambayo ilepostiwa, sasa badala watu waniulize wakaassume tu na kuanza kusema mtandaoni... oohh, sijui mimba. Lakini nilifurahi sana juu Wakenya wananiaminia sana," he said.
Butita and Mamitto have been reported to be in a relationship for a while now, but they have never publicly confirmed or denied the reports.
