On August 27, 2019, comedian Mwasia Mutua, popularly known as Chipukeezy, made a shocking decision to quit Ebru TV.
The comedian, who hosted the Chipukeezy Show on Mondays on Ebru TV, decided to part ways with the media house after being asked to terminate his collaboration with Nick Chege alias Kartelo.
According to Chipukeezy, the station wanted Kartelo out of the show because it had become "a bit Ghetto," with many upcoming musicians and comedians featured on the show.
However, an adamant Chipukeezy refused to yield to these demands, stating that he would not continue with the show without Kartelo.
"I am not willing or planning under any circumstances to stop supporting Kartelo and any other young person in this industry and since Ebru seems to have made up their minds on terminating Kartelo's appearance on my show. I am sadly left with no option but to terminate my contract as well," he said.
Despite the decision, Chipukeezy assured his fans that the Chipukeezy Show would continue with Kartelo and many more on a different platform.
