Kenyans on social media have reacted after an alleged email surfaced, allegedly from former Capital FM radio host Miss Mandi, rejecting Eddie Butita’s request for a chance to showcase his comedic talents on the station over a decade ago.
The email allegedly features a harsh response telling Butita he was “not good at what he claimed to be.”
Eleven years ago, Miss Mandi was a prominent figure at Capital FM. At the time, Eddie Butita was an emerging comedian, striving to break into the entertainment industry.
Hoping to join the ranks of comedians who were increasingly being hired by radio stations to boost their listener base, Butita reached out to Miss Mandi for an opportunity to co-host a show. However, his request was rejected.
Eleven years later today, Eddie Butita’s career trajectory tells a different story. He’s now a pivotal figure for Netflix in East Africa. Sources claim that Butita has established himself as a leading producer with his own production company.
His significant role in the creative industries has even caught the attention of the highest office in Kenya. Recently, he was spotted touring the United States with the president, visiting iconic locations such as Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta where he is expected to sign major agreements.
Butita’s rise from a struggling comedian to a key player in the entertainment industry has sparked mixed reactions from Kenyans.
Many have talked about perseverance and the timing of success, with comments like “God’s timing is the best.”
