Renowned scriptwriter Abel Mutua, comedian Eddie Butita, and actress Catherine Kamau, also known as Kate Actress, have united to roast musician Jua Cali over his recent comments on Njugush's Australia tour.
Throughout the week and weekend, Njugush became a trending topic on Twitter as users criticized his performance at one of his shows in Australia. Dissatisfaction with his stand-up comedy delivery sparked mixed reactions among users.
Jua Cali joined the discussion and took a swipe at Njugush, stating, "Njugush is my boy, but there's no comedian there, not funny at all. Stand-up is an art form. You need to study it fully before diving into it. It's a clever and witty art form, not for everyone."
In response, Abel Mutua, Kate Actress, and Eddie Butita fired back at Jua Cali indirectly, using humor and sarcasm.
Butita used Abel Mutua as a shield to throw jibes at Jua Cali, tweeting, "@abelmutua let him know that he should stick to supporting me. In storytelling, there's no talent here. He should stick to writing movies 😂😂😂😂😂."
Butita further shared a viral video of a woman breaking a record player playing Jua Cali's song, captioning it, "Stop sending me these things. Jua Cali is my boy. Anyway, let me go and watch Njugush on TTNT4."
Abel Mutua joined in, responding to Jua Cali with photos of Butita boarding a plane, stating, "@eddiebutita is my boy, but 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 There's no entertainer there. No talent at all!!!!!"
Kate Actress took to Twitter and shared a video with Njugush at the airport, adding her own jab, "Look at these talentless peeps catching flights instead of feelings. 😅 @BlessedNjugush."
However, Jua Cali later apologized to Njugush, acknowledging that his statement may have been blown out of proportion. He expressed his love for Njugush's skits and clarified that stand-up comedy is a different ballgame, requiring practice and resources. He emphasized the importance of unity in the stand-up comedy and music industries, highlighting the need for patience and dedication.
The playful exchange between these prominent personalities created a buzz on social media, showcasing the camaraderie and humor within the entertainment industry.
