Kenyan comedian Eric Omondi has strongly criticised Andy Deh, the son of the late reggae hypeman MC Fullstop, following comments he made about media personality Natalie Githinji and her battle with endometriosis.
The issue started after Andy appeared on the Chizi Podcast, where he discussed endometriosis and made claims about what he believed could cause the condition.
According to reports, Andy linked endometriosis to family planning methods and the misuse of emergency contraceptive pills commonly known as P2. His remarks quickly spread across social media and attracted criticism from Kenyans.
Many people felt that the comments were insensitive, particularly because Natalie has been publicly documenting her difficult experience with endometriosis.
Eric Omondi was among those who reacted to the remarks.
The comedian shared a clip of Andy’s comments on his social media platforms and expressed his disappointment over what had been said.
Eric argued that endometriosis is a serious condition that has affected many women and should not be treated as a subject for jokes or online attention.
His reaction came as Natalie continues to receive public support following her health struggles.
The popular radio presenter has been open about her experience with endometriosis and has spoken about the severe pain and complications she has experienced because of the condition.
Natalie has previously been hospitalised after suffering a serious stage 4 endometriosis flare up. Her situation attracted attention from celebrities, friends and members of the public, many of whom rallied behind her during her difficult period.
The latest controversy has therefore brought renewed attention to the condition and the need for people to be careful when discussing medical issues publicly.
Andy later responded to the criticism directed at him. He questioned Eric’s statement about looking for him, saying he was readily available online and had even made his contact information public.
The exchange between the two has since generated more reactions from Kenyans, with social media users divided over Andy’s remarks and Eric’s response.
The controversy has also highlighted the wider problem of misinformation surrounding reproductive health, with many people calling for greater responsibility when discussing medical conditions.
For Natalie, the discussion comes at a difficult time as she continues dealing with the realities of living with endometriosis.
Her openness about her health journey has helped bring more attention to a condition that many women experience but which is often misunderstood.
As the debate continues online, many Kenyans have urged content creators and public figures to verify medical information before sharing claims that could mislead the public or hurt people dealing with serious health challenges.
