Director Trevor Weighs In on Mungai Eve’s Podcast Backlash
Content creator and filmmaker Director Trevor has spoken out regarding the heated backlash directed at his former partner, Mungai Eve, following her controversial remarks on a podcast with Liz Jackson.
During the conversation, Mungai Eve boldly stated that she would not date a man earning less than KSh 500,000, a comment that quickly sparked uproar across social media platforms. Many Kenyans felt the statement was insensitive, out of touch, and dismissive of the financial realities faced by the majority of her audience.
Trevor noted that while everyone has a right to personal preferences, the way Mungai Eve expressed hers created a dangerous rift with her fanbase.
“People want to punish Mungai Eve, she should apologize to her fans. The mistake she made was showing Kenyans she’s better than them by saying she can’t date men who earn less than KSh 500K,” Trevor explained.
He added that the public reaction is not just about her choice of words, but about how fans perceive her attitude toward them.
“Her comments created a disconnect. Fans feel like she looks down on them, and that’s why the criticism keeps growing,” he said.
Since the podcast aired, Mungai Eve has been trending online, with many calling her remarks a sign of “clout chasing,” while others defended her right to set her own standards in relationships. However, Trevor’s take sheds light on the fine balance public figures must maintain between expressing personal opinions and staying relatable to their audience.
The incident highlights a recurring pattern in Kenya’s influencer culture, where controversial statements often fuel viral debates but can also damage long-term trust between creators and their supporters.
Whether Mungai Eve will issue a public apology or stand her ground remains to be seen, but for now, the spotlight remains firmly on her—and the pressure from fans continues to mount.
Oga Obinna Interview Turns Heated as Aisha Feruzy Baits Kenyans

During a sit-down interview with comedian and content creator Oga Obinna, Tanzanian socialite Aisha Feruzy stirred controversy after unleashing a string of provocative remarks targeting Kenyan women. In what many online users have labeled a rage-baiting stunt, Aisha claimed that Kenyan women fall short in matters of hygiene, etiquette, and fashion.
She alleged that unlike women from Tanzania, Kenyan ladies “don’t use bidets,” a comment that immediately drew sharp criticism for being both sweeping and derogatory. Aisha went on to brand Kenyan women as rude and lacking class, further stoking the fire by suggesting they “don’t know how to dress well.”
The comments quickly made rounds on social media platforms, with many Kenyans calling her out for peddling stereotypes and falsehoods. Some netizens dismissed her as a clout chaser seeking attention through insults, while others demanded an apology for what they considered an unnecessary attack on Kenyan women.
On the other hand, a few voices supported her, arguing that she was simply voicing her opinion and sparking a conversation about cultural differences in lifestyle and grooming between Tanzania and Kenya.
Meanwhile, Oga Obinna, known for his witty and unfiltered interviews, allowed the socialite to express herself freely, but fans noted how her tone appeared more like a deliberate attempt to provoke outrage rather than constructive criticism.
The incident has since fueled heated online debates, with the clip trending on TikTok, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter). Many Kenyan women have taken to the platforms to showcase their fashion sense and lifestyle in a bid to disprove Aisha’s claims.

Harambee Stars Players Say Bahati Has Not Fulfilled His KSh 1 Million Promise After Morocco Win

The Harambee Stars camp is buzzing with mixed emotions after their historic 2-1 win over Morocco in the ongoing CHAN 2024 tournament. While Kenyans across the country celebrated the victory, several players have come forward claiming that singer Bahati has not fulfilled his promise of rewarding them with KSh 1 million.
Before the match, Bahati had publicly announced that he would gift the national team the cash incentive if they defeated Morocco, a football powerhouse in Africa. The players say they were motivated by the pledge, but weeks later, no money has been delivered.
“Promises are meant to be kept. We gave our best on the pitch, but now it seems like the word was just for show,” one player anonymously told reporters.
The unfulfilled pledge has sparked mixed reactions among fans on social media, with some accusing Bahati of chasing clout using the national team, while others have urged patience, arguing that he may still honor the promise.
Bahati has yet to respond publicly to the allegations, but football lovers insist that celebrities and public figures should be more responsible with their words, especially when addressing national pride moments like Harambee Stars’ victory.
The win against Morocco was a major milestone for Kenya, boosting hopes of advancing further in the competition. However, the controversy around Bahati’s pledge threatens to overshadow the team’s hard-earned success.
Arsenal Edge Past Manchester United with Narrow 1-0 Victory

Arsenal secured a hard-fought 1-0 win over rivals Manchester United in a thrilling clash that kept fans on the edge of their seats. The game, played at a packed stadium, lived up to its billing as one of the most anticipated fixtures in the Premier League calendar.
The Gunners showed dominance in possession and composure in midfield, with their quick passing and pressing game unsettling United’s rhythm.

This result strengthens Arsenal’s title ambitions, proving once again that Mikel Arteta’s side is capable of grinding out results in tough encounters. For United, it was yet another frustrating night as questions continue to be raised about their consistency and ability to compete at the highest level.

Kenya vs Zambia – The Battle for Group A Glory!

The CHAN 2024 Group A clash between Kenya and Zambia is set for Sunday, August 17, 2025, at Uhuru Park, Nairobi.
This marks a significant moment, as it will be one of the first major competitive international matches hosted at the newly refurbished Uhuru Park since its transformation into a multi-purpose public and events venue. The match carries high stakes for both teams — Kenya will be looking to secure crucial points to keep their qualification hopes alive, while Zambia aims to strengthen their grip on the top spot in the group.
Security and crowd management are expected to be under heavy scrutiny after CAF recently fined the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) over safety breaches during the Morocco fixture at Kasarani, warning that non-compliance could force Kenya to host matches elsewhere.
Fan interest is already high, and with Uhuru Park’s central location, a massive turnout is anticipated, potentially setting a new attendance record for the revamped venue.
Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has indeed proposed an amendment to the Criminal Procedure Code

the Criminal Procedure (Amendment) Bill, 2024—that aims to expunge minor criminal records once individuals have served their sentences or paid their fines. His intent is to give reformed Kenyans a fair chance at reintegration and employment, instead of being perpetually penalized by old records on police clearance certificates.
-
Key Features of the Proposed Amendment
-
Scope of Expungement: Applies to minor offences; once the sentence is served or fines paid, the record would be cleared.
- Excluded Offences: The proposal explicitly excludes serious crimes such as rape, defilement, sodomy, incest, murder, treason, robbery with violence, and potentially terrorism and serious financial crimes—subject to committee adjustments.
-
- Judicial Precedent: The initiative follows a 2020 High Court decision in Ibrahim Ngohi v DCI, where the court observed the absence of a legal framework for record expungement and recommended parliamentary action.
- Policy Rationale: Babu Owino stated: “Once a person has served their sentence or paid their fine, they should be clean. They have already paid their debt to society.
-
onsiderations & Concerns Raised:
-
Refinement Needed: There’s openness to refining which offences are excluded and possibly introducing a monitoring period post-release. Automatic clearance for juvenile offences upon adulthood is also proposed.
- Oversight: MPs raised concerns about the need to prove rehabilitation before expungement, and questioned whether serious offences like terrorism or financial crimes should ever qualify.

On Thursday, Flaqo uploaded a photo of a smiling couple wearing matching white T-shirts with the bold statement: “Nothing funnier than a one-sided beef.” While he didn’t directly mention names, the timing and context had many netizens convinced it was aimed at a certain group — forex traders who were upset over his earlier skits linking their business to the controversial “Sim2” operation.
For those unfamiliar, the “Sim2” business refers to a scam that recently trended online, where unsuspecting victims are tricked into fraudulent investments using SIM card swap tactics.

Brown Mauzo Sets Boundaries in Co-Parenting: “No Late-Night Calls Unless It’s an Emergency

Coastal singer Brown Mauzo has made it clear that when it comes to co-parenting, there will be no unnecessary late-night phone calls — unless it’s a matter of urgency.
Speaking in a recent interview, Mauzo said that while he values communication for the sake of his children, he believes it should have limits to avoid unnecessary drama or misunderstandings.
“I’m very open to discussions about the kids, but we can’t be calling each other at 1 a.m. for things that can wait until morning,” he stated.
The musician did not specify whether the comment was aimed at his high-profile ex and socialite Vera Sidika, with whom he shares a daughter, or his other baby mamas. This has left fans speculating and fueling gossip across social media.
Mauzo and Vera parted ways in 2023, with both insisting they were committed to peaceful co-parenting. However, his latest statement suggests he wants to draw firmer boundaries moving forward.
The singer also hinted that healthy co-parenting requires respect for each other’s personal space, especially when both parties have moved on with their lives.
