Chupikeezy calls out the media days after the death of comedian Njenga Mswahili

Comedian cum Nacada Director Chipukeezy expressed displeasure with the media and stakeholders in the entertainment industry when it comes to supporting talents, days after the death of comedian Njenga Mswahili.

In a length post seen by Pulselive.co.ke, the funnyman pointed out that many talents have been killed by the media, through that narrative that “only negativity sells”.

“ARBORTION comes in different forms!!! It is the act of terminating a life (Human) before it fully develops. The entertainment industry is busy making love, conceiving babies and KILLING them, we are all GUILTY of MURDER!! the Industry!! The Media (Mostly bloggers) and the Corporate world. The Industry never really supports you and never wants to see you grow and when you work your way and grow the bloggers are on wait to chew you, only NEGATIVITY sells for BLOGGERS, BLOGGERS YOU ARE GUILTY of MURDER!!! You have KILLED DREAMS!!! DEEMED lights and lives of young TALENTED people, You rarely SUPPORT, You never write the good stories the POSITIVES, when we WIN awards you go completely MUTE...But when you hear the slightest wind of an artist "struggling" you swiftly swing into action” reads part of Chipukeezy’s post.

He added that Comedians like Njenga Mswahili died out of depression after being subjected to lots of frustrations while trying to make a name for themselves.

“The CORPORATES are a multibillion industry and Pay peanuts to Artists or, not all but most do not respect ART or see it's worth... GUILTY!!!All Njenga Mswahili wanted to do was to make you laugh, all AKA Ayeya wanted was to make you giggle abit. The untimely deaths of both AKA and MSWAHILI are identical in nature...They both suffered some sort of DEPRESSION before their demise. These depressions were caused by Frustrations that could have been avoided since they are caused by the SYSTEM, the MEDIA, the INDUSTRY and the CORPORATES, in short KENYANS. We have to embrace, Support and OWN our OWN. I am GUILTY, you are GUILTY.Thou Shall not Kill! RIP” said Chipukeezy.
