On July 12, 2019, a heated argument erupted between Capital FM's breakfast hosts Fareed Khimani and Amina Abdi during their live show. The argument was so intense that it left listeners stunned.
According to listeners, the argument started when Fareed asked Amina why she looked moody, and she began throwing tantrums. The situation escalated quickly, with Fareed daring to leave and Amina telling him 'si you leave, we're not going to die without you, Idiot!'
One listener, Arif, took to Twitter to narrate what transpired. He tweeted, 'Fareed & Amina bitterly argued & lashed out at each other LIVE! Fareed dares to leave stating that its not a must that he works with Amina or at Capital Fm. Amina tells him ‘si you leave, we’re not going to die without you, Idiot! ‘Fareed leaves, Amina urges Dj Adrian to play music.'
Reactions from Twitter included a mix of shock, amusement, and apologies. Some listeners defended Fareed, while others blamed Amina for the argument. The incident sparked a heated debate on social media, with many wondering if the argument was staged or genuine.
Notably, this is not the first time a radio presenter has gotten into a public argument on air. Not long ago, Milele FM presenters also 'fought' in the studio.
