Comedian and radio personality Felix Odiwuor, popularly known as Jalang'o, has finally broken his silence on the WhatsApp group chat scandal that has been making headlines for the past two days.

The controversy began when citizen journalist Edgar Obare published screenshots from a WhatsApp group chat called the Boys Club, which Jalang'o is a member of, alongside several of his friends.

According to Jalang'o, the group was not just a platform for discussing sexual escapades, but also a space for the friends to share their experiences and achievements in various fields, including investment.

However, Jalang'o's attempt to defend the group and its members was met with criticism, with many accusing them of being insensitive and arrogant.

Despite the backlash, Jalang'o maintained that the group was not formed for the purpose of discussing sexual escapades, but rather as a platform for the friends to support and encourage each other in their various endeavors.

He also clarified that the apartment in question was not a place where anyone slept, but rather a studio where they shot online shows.

On May 21, 2020, Jalang'o took to his social media pages to share his side of the story, stating that the group was not just a platform for discussing sexual escapades, but also a space for the friends to share their experiences and achievements in various fields.
