Ebru TV gives their side of the story in the Chipukeezy, Kartelo ghetto-ness drama

Ebru Tv has come out to address claims made by comedian Mwasia Mutua, popularly known as Chipukeezy after their fall out.

In a statement on social media yesterday (29.08.19) Ebru Tv denied claims by Chipukeezy that he quit after he was asked to cut links with his regular show guest, Nick Chege alias Kartelo, due to his “ghetto-ness”.

Instead,  the local television, in the statement released on Thursday, clarified that they opted to end Kartelo’s appearance on the after he failed to honour an agreement for an influencer job.

According to Ebru Tv, the upcoming comedian from Kayole was not their employee and was only a permanent feature on The Chipukeezy Show due to an honorary agreement made with Chipukeezy. Kartelo was reportedly commissioned to shoot a number of campaign videos for the ongoing census exercise that he was required to promote on his personal social media platforms.

However, according to the TV station, the comedian failed to live up to expectations as an influencer hence their decision to end his relationship with the show and station.

It continued: “Please note that as of August 23, 2019, we did not have any issues with The Chipukeezy Show and was to go on as normal. Ebru did not terminate Kartelo for what Chipukeezy claims as ‘ghetto-ness’ but we no longer wanted to work with him.”

In a post on his social media pages earlier, the comedian claimed the station wanted Kartelo out of the show because the show was becoming “a bit Ghetto”.
