Comedian Jalango Faces Backlash from Fans and Friends

May 20, 2020

Famous radio presenter Felix Odiwuor, known as Jalango of Milele FM, has been on the receiving end of criticism from fans and friends across the world. The backlash began after a WhatsApp chat group discussion about his alleged relationships with women was leaked online.

Leading the criticism is his friend and media consultant, Tedd Josiah, who described Jalango's behavior as 'uncouth' and 'hurtful' to unsuspecting women. Josiah alleged that Jalango preys on vulnerable women due to his celebrity status, which he can lose at any moment.

Jalango, who rose from a humble beginning to become a successful entertainer, has had his fair share of ups and downs. He moved to Homa Bay from his hometown due to poverty and later joined the Papa Shirandula show and the Churchill Show, which brought him to the limelight of the entertainment world.

However, Jalango fired back at his critic, allegedly Mr. Edgar Obare, who leaked the chat group discussion. Jalango claimed that the discussion was just a joke that went wrong and that Obare should continue doing his 'rubbish' as he doesn't do anything to act on the discussion.
