 Biziness man. Sama zote. Gani ni mihacha. Janzana, the great. The great Eddie Boutita, a comedian, creative director, writer and a business man. And a mogul. Ya chief. Chief in... Writer in chief of the comedy forces. In Kenya maafrika. Mi afrika. Bi hain every successful joke. How do you feel having all those, you know, tags and responsibilities Boutita? Ni God. Sosa una feel ni God. Una facheni God. Wacheni Mamboa God. You see what people forget when you are a creative. It's a whole ecosystem. When you are an entertainer, you are in the entertainment field. So you create in art. So it's not limited. There is that one thing that you can do better. That's a special purpose vehicle to the rest. So maybe you are a good musician. You are very good at singing. And maybe you also have talents in writing music. You can write for other people. Maybe you have an eye or an ear to know a hit song. You can help and guide other people. And all these things can be separate jobs in the entertainment industry. So me as a comedian. That is the first thing that I came with. That's how people knew me. And that's what I do full time. But I'm sad that I can also write for people. Direct for people. And the entire industry. So it's an ecosystem. Now Boutita of course we are here. You are a journalist. You can be a PR guru. Because you understand how communication is done. What it takes. So you don't limit yourself. You are within that industry. But maximizing your abilities. Yes. Boutita now of course we are here today to celebrate and reward leading sport in people and creatives. I haven't seen so many creatives. So I am not so sure what criteria was used to invite people especially because you are here. Why are you here? Did you get a reason as to why you are here today? I was called on my private line. And you see when you call my private line. It's either the government or you're my close friend. Atata atata atata atata atata watu wana kwa karibuna mimi yawana private line. Do you have my private line? Nyambia watu kweninu konaio. Mami yao employee Boutita. I don't have my private line. Naingin eh? We are a lot of creatives, same to sports, a lot of sports personalities, they cannot all be here, but those that are here can represent them, so I don't know the criteria but I was called and told because of the achievements and a lot of things that we've been able to do in the industry, maybe we can come for this event and share our experience and celebrate together, so but when I'm here I'm representing the industry, because for me I believe anything I do I don't do it alone. May I feel like, I don't know if that's how to say it's your calling, may I feel like my calling is growing others, so when I'm here I feel like a lot of people are represented. Now talking about representing creatives butita, Talanta Hela had nominated renowned artists, renowned celebrities but that nomination was revoked. What are you expecting from what is coming now after that? And how do you actually feel when you know those renowned artists nominations were revoked? I think first the revocation, maybe the basis of it is what we don't know all of us. Someone took the case to court also because of how it was formed, issues of maybe gender representation, disability, people with disability being represented, so maybe I felt like maybe they revoked that to reconstitute. It's not that the people that were there were not capable, I feel like maybe they want to restructure the Talanta, the council or the committee, but I wish everyone that was there would be retained because they had started something and I was looking forward to see their potential and what they can do. So if they are retained better and if they are adding other people maybe they can look into the things that the court led someone appealing in court. In the spirit of celebrating leading sports people, who is your sports person of all times? I know they have achieved, I know so many things but who is that person? When you say of all times, you know of all times you are back dating? Yes I am. That's from Kitambo. According to you, nim ga nim moja un eza se manye un nim noma? All time, all time, ay! All time, ok mi na listi wa tu wa noma. Before I came here I was watching an interview by Larry Maddo African Voices for Faith Kipiagon. The lady was breaking records after every one week. I felt like her story is so inspirational. So being a lady and I see she broke a record after just after giving birth. And you see normally in Africa it's perceived that if you are a lady and you start the journey of motherhood you tend to leave the other part of you. The other part of your career and focus comes to family and that was phenomenal to see her breaking record and she's a young mum. So I feel like I'll give my flowers to her but that doesn't mean that the rest are not part of my winners. I respect Elid Kipchoge because of one thing. Do you know Elid Kipchoge is a global star? In streets of London he can't just walk there. Who do you idolize internationally? The one who is doing an interview. I'm not thinking right now about it. I'll give you an example or name for me a top world star. Jay Z. Jay Z you see because a person like Jay Z would meet Kipchoge. Kipchoge is a star. Kipchoge is so big internationally. We don't have Jackson. So I feel like I'll give my flowers to greatsana. And for me let them get my flowers. Just broke a record. A juzi and a machine. Global stars and that's what I feel. I feel like the creative industry also want to be on that level. But that is a musician, comedian, actor, actress. I think the only industry in Kenya that are represented as in terms of talent to the international platform very well. We are athletes. Miki Malizia, how do you feel about C.S. Ababuna Moamba being the person we are heading this talent initiative? How do you feel about his skills and his capability? We've had a lot of conversations with Waziri in terms of sports and arts. And one thing I can say is that it's in safe hands because it relates to these things. You know explaining the issues of creative and sports to a person who does not relate to those issues can be very difficult. But somehow C.S. has been instrumental. He understands how the creative industry works. He's accommodating to new ideas and is very open. Niki takaku muwana kesho. Ata komedianiote, musicianiote, aktayote ki takaku wanda kuna waziri. Ata muwana, ata present ideas zake. So for me I feel it's the right person in terms of moving this boat. And I wish him well, I wish that we can work together and share ideas and make this thing great. Butita Niki Malizia, last question. What is that one thing people misunderstand about you? One thing that people misunderstand about me. No, they don't misunderstand me. I don't have something to be misunderstood about me. But I feel like naturally human beings. The first impression, if I look at you, the first impression. If I look at... Niaje, manja mazasana takawana rekode. If I look at Sule, if I look at Denya, if I look at this Claudia. There's an atmosphere you create as a human being when you meet people. This atmosphere normally might not define the real person. Maybe someone can be very good than you see, or someone can be very bad than you think. Mostly this atmosphere is a defense mechanism that automatically comes out. Like we say there are people who are shy and there are people who are... Let's say, as an example. If I look at you, I feel like you are a human being. So naturally, your body creates this defense mechanism because you fear people in your space. So you end up preparing. Isn't it natural if it was a fight or not? If I look at you, I feel like you are a human being. The defense mechanism is created by you. You have to be secure in your space. So anything that people misunderstand about people, I think it's fiction. When I see you the first impression, I put it aside and I'll try to find the real you. So if you have misunderstood me on anything, put it aside, find the real me. Anything you see at the first impression is the defense mechanism of the real person. And it's natural. You can't create it at the same time. There is a bird that goes to the water to eat fish. You know that bird. So you know that bird when those birds kitambo before they started eating fish. They used to have feathers that when they hold water, kama kingiza kukukishamaji na kwa wet sana. So now when they used to dive to look for fish, makosa food, naturally the new offsprings had feathers that are slippery. So now with time these birds when they dive in water and come out, water doesn't touch the feather. So it's a defense mechanism that was created naturally. So it defines nothing about the bird. The bird remains the bird with what it used to have but a defense mechanism was created. So what we fear creates a defense mechanism that repels people and they tend to use that too. Describe that. That's free master class. Clearly. Last question. I've spoken to a few people who've told me, say hi to your boss. We're here for season 2 of Anastoto. Where are you from? Anastoto season 2 is coming. I'm just trying to deliberate if it's coming back in later this year or next year. It's trying to weigh in options because there are other productions that we are doing at SPM Africa Studios and we are trying to see nini kujesai, nini andembele because we have a lot of people to grow and thank everyone who supported Anastoto. Everyone is a star at Anastoto. We cannot even work with them so well and good. Season 2, I promise, it's coming and it's dope. We are featuring people that damn! But we have new appearances. We have 3 new people that will shock the industry. We are also bringing someone from one of the East African countries to be part of it. So it's going to be great. Thank you so much. Let's see the masterpiece you create for Season 2. Creative director Eddie Butita right here on SPM Buzz. Thank you for watching.
