Comedian Chipukeezy quits Ebru TV after being ordered to sack Kartelo

Popular comedian cum Talk show host Chipukeezy has shocked fans by announcing his abrupt exit from Ebru TV.

The local media house has housed his show Chipukeezy Show since last year, growing his fanbase by the day.

His news comes as a shock to many as the show has built up many upcoming artists and entertainers including Kayole’s finest Kartello, Comedian Mullamwah, and Mihadarati crooner Stivo Simple Boy.

In explaining the reason for his sudden exit fro the media station, he highlighted the fact that they expected him to terminate Kartello from the show as they think it has become to Ghetto. According to Chipukeezy’s Press release, Ebru hoped that he would turn it around and host more politicians.

Hey Guys… A quick one. So I received an email from Ebru TV asking me to terminate my agreement and Collaboration with Kartelo on my show. They say they are a bit concerned that the show has become a bit Ghetto because of the many Youths (Upcoming Musicians and Comedians) on the show. They requested that we try and change the format a little bit. Maybe interview more politicians and afew Corporate Executives. For as much as I respect their request or rather decision, I would like to categorically state that I feel my calling and mission could just be the exact opposite. My Passion, Desire and Vision is to LIFT the Youth of this Country. I feel like God has offered me an opportunity to create a platform for these Young people who are mostly from the slams and majorly disadvantaged. Our politicians are good, they are more than good. Our Executives are actually living their dreams. On the other hand I feel like most talented youths are without hope and opportunity and unless someone holds their hands their Future is mostly uncertain. I am not willing or planning under any circumstances to stop supporting Kartelo and any other young person in this industry and since Ebru seems to have made up their minds on Terminating Kartelo appearance on my show I am sadly left with no option but to terminate my Contract as well. The Chipukeezy show will however continue with Kartelo and many more on a different platform. I want to say a Big thank you to Ebru TV for the far they supported me and an even BIGGER thank you to supporters of Chipukeezy show. GOD BLESS🙏
