Erick Omondi speaks out on controversial video Popular Kenyan comedian Erick Omondi has single handedly kicked up a storm on social media after a video emerged of him playing butt naked with young boys at a river in Turkana. The video that has been termed as a ‘tragedy’ has Omondi in the nudes playing with seemingly happy children in the water. The comments immediately came in thick and fast with some questioning what the ruckus was all about. Gospel rapper Juliani, for instance, was of the opinion that what the kids and Omondi were experiencing was “true freedom”. In his response, the comedian stated that he had erred in judgment, offended so many and that his actions were not meant to offend anyone. “I have been a comedian all my life... Many are the times that I have errored... Today was one of those days. I have offended so many. I did not in any way intend to offend anyone.” I am a music dynamo, Jose Chameleone challenges Bebe Cool Singer Jose Chameleone has come out on the fast spreading word about his much anticipated battle with fellow Ugandan artiste Bebe Cool.
