Kenyans issued a public challenge to comedian Eric Omondi following Manchester United's 2019 defeat to Arsenal, demanding he shave his hair and 'give his wife' as per a prior promise.
Omondi, a known Manchester United supporter, had reportedly told Arsenal fans he would surrender his wife and cut his hair if the Red Devils lost the match. However, the Kisumu-born comedian later clarified he is engaged, not married, dismissing claims of a 'wife' as false.

Omondi confirmed he would shave his hair as pledged, though he maintained no marital status to contest. The incident highlights the playful rivalry between football fanbases in Kenya.
