The core of their parting, as he articulated, lies in the natural evolution of personal and professional growth. Over the years, their ambitions diverged, leading them to pursue individual paths.

"Growth comes and you have to accept growth, years come and my race is not his and his is not mine but if you need the two of us you can have the two of us," Mtumishi explained, highlighting the amicable nature of their separation.

Mtumishi further spoke about his journey of rebranding and pursuing his dreams independently.

The comedian declined to speak about what his comedy partner was into while he revealed he was leading a show dubbed 'The Amazing Show' where he seeks to tap new and upcoming talent.
