 Welcome back to SPM Bars, of course we are live at Anga Cinema for Anastatua Premium, my group name is Selvakido. I'm being joined by a content creator, a media personality, of course one of the amazing good friends of mine in the industry. Of course, guys if you don't know, I met Flaqo one day when we were working with Mula Moa, I was managing Mula Moa. That time we went for a client brief, Pale Mopasaro, that time we went to Ongeli Nairobi. One thing you don't know, I paid for Flaqo's taxi to town. That's another story but we're glad. Flaqo, of course, this year in Imeanza Vipi. This year I started Imeanza Vipi because I was down to your help. But right now I thank God I'm back on my feet man. I found a great doctor and he's a doctor Nick. I found a great doctor who took me through the recovery process. Thank you God. I got the news through social media. I don't know what you were going through, of course. Ash Mimba's family want to know what was going through your life, of course. How was the recovery process? How was the journey? And then why did you decide to make it clear through social media platforms? Just to announce the news to your fans? Well, normally Spenagiku Ongeli is a personal life young but when I pushed back, I had to tell people what was going on because I was not posting on social media. A series younger is a resume on YouTube. So I had to let people know why the series is on pause. But it's coming back soon. What was the problem? What was the issue? Well, I was in malaria because I visited Kisumu. I was in malaria because I had a spina issue. I had an issue with spina because of working out. I was actually working out wrong. So I decided to undergo physiotherapy and do recovery process. But I am doing good, I can actually work. How was the recovery process so far? So far, so good. As I said, I am still in the field of physiotherapy. So yeah, I am doing great. I have just gone back to the gym. Life is pretty normal to me right now. Of course, while you are recovering, of course you didn't get enough time to post your content. You didn't get enough time to interact with your fans, you know, on the socials. What was going through your mind? Because I believe you are missing out a lot. Well, any time when I am not posting content, it normally presses me because my joy normally is your content. Content for me is like cough. So the more you are in malaria, the more you are in stress. So it was a really stressful time for me because I was not sharing my mind and I expressed myself through content. It's like kwa kwa kwa jela. So I was in prison on that time but thank God I am free. How are you managing the stress? Well, just activities like watching other people's content, could distract mind and Netflix. But for how long would you do that? I mean, at the end of the day it caught up with me. And thank God it caught up with me when I was recovering. So nili pona even, it comes up with content immediately because that is what makes me happy. Yeah. Because your fans will want to understand, do you get time to watch other people's content? Which content do you consume most? Do you have a favorite content creator? In Kenya or... Just across, generally in Kenya and across. Well, the strange part is, see what's coming this year now, I prefer watching other genres. So I prefer watching horror films. But how many comedians? I watch a lot of Tyler Perry shows. I watch a lot of Malone Wayans. I had to see Ubonga, thank God. But they... Tyler? No, Tyler Perry. Malone Wayans. But Tyler Perry hopefully. Because generally I'm inspired by this type of comedy that I do. So one day, one time. Just to ask you, you don't watch comedy, why don't you watch comedy? I don't know. I do comedy, but I don't... I do watch comedy, not a lot of it. The strange part is I don't enjoy watching comedy. Why don't you enjoy watching comedy? I don't understand. I love creating for people to consume. But I don't like consuming it. I don't know why is that. I love trail. I don't watch it. I don't keep on the edge of the seat. I don't watch comedy. That does not do anything for me. Strangely. I don't know. So it means you don't have any favorite comedian in the country right now? I have very many. Any butita, of course, Kina O give me waiwai, came a Justin Wigai, Besteedly wrote crazy Kena, did we enjoy? Come on give me world famous Facebook or Mulamua. So many! I love their content, Jahre sur K magiae, Then it can be shared. I love their work. Actually, they are that great, they are where they are because they are that great. Ya. By loving the work, it means it inspires you in one way or another. Definitely. Definitely because comedians keep changing the game. Na demo they change the game. It's inspirational. Um Uki cheki ga, de metamufu sisiya comedians it's really mind blowing and inspiring because penyua li kwa gianasi penyua kuleo and I really commend that. It's really inspiring. So yeah, definitely. Plakoye very big, you know. You're very big in the social space. You know, every day content creators emerge, comedians come up every day. You're one of the products that came through the social platforms, TikTok, you know. How are you trying to now channel yourself to penetrate now in the other markets? In the other markets, well, I have a plan for that. See, I think it's Emma right now because I can't say it before it actually happens. But there's a lot that is planned this year. Now, I say I'm gorgeous. But before it happened, I'm here to support the people who are revolutionizing the industry because even when you want to revolutionize stuff, they're also creating parts for me in a certain kind of way. So that is why I'm always there to support. Which kind of way? Well, just appearing here and supporting the work. That is already support, that's already big. So, and also participating, and also collaborating with them. Like I was with Tulfanya Kolabona Kenna kwa Shoyaki Alastia. And I feel that is the kind of support, that is the kind of energy that creators should have with each other. Collaborative energy, supportive energy. Because we industry need to. At the end of the day, nobody is competing the other. By supporting you, I'm not taking away talent from you. Your talent remains yours. But making support, it makes you bigger. That makes the industry bigger, which is convenient for me. I believe as well through collaboration because I understand you working with Kenna. It has opened more opportunities. It has positioned you in a better place. Maybe you can share with us now what was the fruit you working with Kenna, maybe learning from Kenna. And then being part of Kenna's success and journey. Well, first of all, you Shoya Kenna. For me, let's not even talk about money at all. For me, that show was a success for me because Tulfanya, this dream Tulfanya have this dream in Kenna. Tulfanya, the first show Sisi Waweeli. Now, I can bring that show to life. And I had to participate in bringing that to life writing sets to participate in the creative process. And just that show becoming a success was a success for me already. Let's not even talk about money, that show was a success. What is the vision of the world success to you? What is the vision of the world success? Success is achieving what you had planned to achieve. The vision you had, if that vision comes to life, that is success, however big or small it is. So that for me is success. Mimia, I count success daily. When I plan for the day and I do everything I plan to do that day, that's success for me. You feel like now pressure you wanna fill in the space of crazy Kenna? No, I never have pressure at all because Mimia kwae industry, let me tell you kwae industry, I'm not competing anybody. No, because that is why I want to participate in my titles, I'm a king. I'm the word of comedy. I don't give myself any titles because I'm not trying to validate myself. I'm not insecure about what I can do at all. Mimia, comedy feeds me not food-wise. It feeds my mind because I get to bring to life what is on my mind. So for me, comedy is doing to me a service that I can express myself. And that is why, whoops. And that is why I do comedy. I don't do it to compete at all. Where is the cartel of comedy in Kenya? Well, content cartel. Definitely content cartel is crazy Kenna. Like president of comedy in Nani. Content cartel in Nani. Kenna. Content master, Mr. Bili Bili, you give your wasana jupatiya titles and you just own that title. I feel it's people just speaking life into what they think about themselves. Don't mean that is not the route I normally go because that's not my kind of thing. Of course there are so many people with titles, there are so many creatives in the industry. But now just to ask you this question, Kenna through social media, of course, Kenna mentioned, I don't like talking about people, but now Kenna is a good friend of you. Of course I know you've learned something from Kenna. Kenna has inspired you in one way or another. Of course Kenna tweeted and asked people now, it's high time people to write the book about him. I mean why not? Let him write a book about him. Because he believes so. He has achieved, he has beaten the odds that he probably thought he'd never beat. So I mean why not? Why not? Is there something that you wish Kenyans to know about Crazy Kenna that we don't know? Crazy Kenna is an introvert. But I don't know if people know that. I think a lot of creatives are introverts though, but a lot of people think that Junaji Express online on Ruka Ruka, you are, that is how you are in real life. It's actually totally different because I don't know if I met a lot of creatives. I don't know if I met a lot of creatives. I don't know if I met a lot of creatives. But I met a lot of creatives online on Ruka Ruka. Yeah so I mean that is one fun fact. Of course we are here for the premier of our next season to tell me are you here to learn, are you here for the opportunity, are you here to knock, why are you here tonight? I'm here to support, I'm here to be part of a revolution. I love being part of a revolution. I love being part of, I love witnessing greatness take place. So that's why I'm here. You've watched, I believe you've watched the premier of Anastata. Do you have a favorite scene, moment, character? I can't put my hands on because there was a lot happening that is so funny within so many few seconds. I talk about Kinanashira and I love the scene where Ile Akusa Ile Akusa and then the kid, the kid Nibenaki. Yeah there's just a lot man. People need to watch Anastata because there's just so much humor within a very short period of time. What is next for you? Where do you see yourself in the next five years? In the next five years, I mean God knows. You know God plans what I'd say is I'm working on something very big for myself, for the fans to witness and be part of in Mada Mudasom Fupi. Oh let me announce here that Bakari Shos is on one is coming soon. Bakari Shos is on one is coming soon and something more interesting will follow after so just wait. Maybe you can tell us for the fans that are watching this for the last time. What is so special about Bakari? Bakari is a crazy character. Bakari is a lot of our uncles. So I think that's what's interesting about Bakari. That is why I love playing the Bakari character because it unleashes the crazy sides of myself that I can't do as Placo. Does Bakari tell you a story? Bakari tells my uncle's story because he tells me that he loves and that he loves Bakari and that he loves Bakari and so on and so forth. Which is interesting to both me and the audience that love Bakari. We're excited we'll be waiting and hopefully we'll get a chance to see. As we wind up now today of course you're here. We've seen you walking alone. The rumours going online that maybe things are not going the right way. Maybe paradise kidogo. Kuna shida. Well, there's no problem at all. Nivenye ilikwa either to miss he learned what he was really. Amatugawe energies because Keranta was committed elsewhere and Samia had to show up because we can't both miss this event. This is greatness man. Come on now. We haven't seen you guys together more often online. Me na kuangas spendi publicity spendi clout. Clout normally cut me. I don't know why. I don't know why. That's why I normally keep my life my private life from the public. But at the valentines we celebrated valentines. We just didn't post. I like people talking about content about my life personal life that does nothing for me because for me I find that useless. Why do you feel about talking about your life having a life in the public space? I used to love fame I used to love what comes with fame but at the time it's not as exciting as I thought it was. I mean my private life at least let me have that for myself. People love the content this is the face of all the characters and people happen to love the characters so I want to thank my fans hello at you it's all vibes but it's a private life I normally just like to keep that to myself at least I enjoy one thing Do you miss a normal life?
