Njugush explained that while he was honoured to be approached by such a reputable radio station, he ultimately decided that it wasn't the right fit for him at the time.
“There was that time in 2022 Kiss FM wanted to hire me but it didn’t work out. There was that suggestion but the particular segment didn’t work out because of a few issues. Majorly it was because of time,” he said.
He elaborated that most of his time was focused on his core strength, which is comedy and content creation.
Njugush is known for his witty humour, relatable sketches, and hilarious parodies, which have earned him a massive following both online and offline.
He has won multiple awards for his outstanding contributions to the Kenyan entertainment scene including a Pulse Influencer Award and has become a household name in the comedy industry.

“Dear Kiss 100 mko na 1 million per month? Price is not negotiable,” he said in a post.
In response, the station responded “Budget iko lakini swali ni utaonekana kwa picha za asubui mkuu.”
Obina added that the comedian should reconsider the amount to Sh700,000, joking that he had also tried to make the same demand.
