A Kenyan woman living in the United States, Christine Wawira, has sparked a heated debate on social media after accusing comedian Chipukeezy of lying about meeting Kevin Hart.
According to Wawira, she helped facilitate the meeting between Chipukeezy and Kevin Hart last June, but the comedian failed to acknowledge her role in the encounter.
Wawira, a single mother, actress, and upcoming artist, took to her Facebook page to share a video detailing the events surrounding the meeting.
In the video, Wawira claims she paid for Chipukeezy's cab and air ticket, hosted him at her house, and even helped him meet Kevin Hart at a book signing event.
However, Chipukeezy had previously claimed that he was invited to perform at the BET Awards after meeting Kevin Hart, which Wawira disputes as a lie.
Wawira also accused Chipukeezy of lying about taking 10 minutes with Kevin Hart, stating that the actual meeting lasted only a minute or two.
Chipukeezy had also claimed that a white woman had sent him an invite to perform in the US, which Wawira believes is another fabrication.
Wawira expressed her disappointment at Chipukeezy's actions, stating that his lies had put her in a difficult position and damaged her reputation.
Despite the backlash, Wawira remains optimistic about the outcome, saying that the meeting with Kevin Hart had raised Chipukeezy's profile and brought him more opportunities.
