Comedian Eunice Mammito faces backlash over Jowie Irungu content

Popular content creator and comedian, Eunice Mammito, has found herself in hot water with netizens following her recent content about Joseph Irungu, commonly known as Jowie.

The controversy erupted just hours after High Court Judge Justice Grace Nzioka handed down a death sentence to Jowie for the murder of businesswoman Monica Kimani.

Mammito's latest video, which has since sparked mixed reactions, features her singing a song offering advice to Jowie.

In the video, Mammito, renowned for her humorous skits, is heard singing lyrics that some find insensitive given the gravity of Jowie's situation.

Despite Mammito's likely innocent intentions, many netizens have taken issue with her choice of words.

The lyrics of the song go: "Jowie, Jowie, Jowieeee... Don't you cry because you got a death sentence... See it as an opportunity to scam us... When you go to prison, you will find a man who loves you so much... You will perform your songs in the prison talent show and you will kill it, Jowie..."
