The President of Comedy Africa Eric Omondi lost a significant chunk of his earnings from social media after sponsors pulled out over his controversial
Wife Material show. Speaking to Radio Maisha’s Mwende Macharia and Clemo on
Konnect, Omondi revealed that several companies, among them a betting company, pulled away from him citing a wealth of ethical issues.
Omondi - who during the Thursday interview revealed he currently boasts eight lucrative endorsement deals – said
Wife Material clawed back some of the commercial gains he made in 2020 courtesy of the surge in online content consumption following the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Oscar-winning Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong’o has laughed off claims that she was unreachable when the country was seeking Magical Kenya’s international brand ambassador. Yesterday, a local daily quoted Najib Balala, the Tourism Cabinet Secretary as saying that his ministry had tried to reach out to Lupita for five years to appoint her as Kenya s tourism ambassador but she could not be reached.
British supermodel Naomi Campbell was appointed to the role and a section of Kenyans was, with some suggesting that several Kenyan personalities, including Lupita, could have been given that task. Me when I hear the Kenyan Ministry of Tourism has been looking for me for five years. #Imrightherebaby #alternativefacts, she posted on her official Twitter handle, creating a fresh online debate on an issue online Kenyans had forgotten.
