Actor Omosh has found himself at the center of a heated debate after appearing on TV47, pleading for help once again, months after Kenyans came to his aid.
However, this latest appeal for assistance has not gone down well with many Kenyans, who feel that Omosh is taking advantage of the good samaritans who helped him in the past.
Responding to the backlash, Omosh has come out to defend himself, stating that he is irritated by those questioning him about how he spent the money he received.
“Kwani Majama shida iko wapi? Mlicome through mkaniokolea ndio hii Keja inasimama, Maanze thanks a lot kwa kitu mlinifanyia. Kitu inaniwasha ni mnaniuliza mahali nilipeleka pesa,” said Omosh in a video that has since gone viral.
Comedian Jalang'o had previously stated that Omosh received more than Sh700K in cash while on his show, with others opting to send money directly to his bank account and phone number.
Politician Alinur Mohamed also gave the actor food worth 60K, plus 100K in cash.
However, Omosh maintains that he is not forcing anyone to help him and that he is living it up.
“Nilikuwa na mashida mingi sana lakini bado mashinda haziishangi. Ndo Maana nilikua nakusho kama unajiskia, si ati nilikuwa Nalazimisha. Manze joo mlinitoa kwa shimo na nashukuru sana..Ma bloggers wachaneni na mimi…hata soon nafungua keja na tutachoma mbuzi hapa..so hiyo ndo inafaa kutrend,” said Omosh.
Well, B-Classic has offered to give Omosh what he wants, gifting him a camera, tripod, and mic to help him get back to work.
