Upcoming comedian Kartelo has now come out to disclose how he was mistreated while working at Ebru TV as comedian Chipukeezy's co-host.
In a long Instagram post on Monday, Kartelo revealed why he was blocked from going to Ebru TV.
"But there was a problem. Our station started a campaign to kick me out claiming that I had brought my 'hoodism' in the station which parents didn't understand. They started harassing me since day one. (But kulikuwa na ngori, our station walianza maneno Mara oooh show imeanza kuwa na ughetto, Mara oooh kartelo ata atolewe hiyo show ati wazazi hawashiki lugha yake. Walianza kunivuruga since day one)," said Kartelo.
Kartelo reveals that he was told not to bring any person from the ghetto into the station.
Even in the midst of all the harassment, Chipukeezy stood with him throughout.
However, this didn't stop his bosses from harassing him. Security personnel were instructed to harass him with his visitors (guests he brought on the show) at the station.
Chipukeezy was also harassed for being involved with the youths.
One day, an email was sent directing Chipukeezy to fire Kartelo.
"Recently, an email was sent. Without a reason, it was indicated that Kartelo should not be seen on Chipukeezy show or anywhere near the station. (Juzi tu walituma email. Bila tu reason wakadai kartelo asiwai onekana Chipukeezy show ama karibu na hio station)," he said.
However, Chipukeezy decided to take a bold move. He decided to end his show at Ebru TV than fire his friends.
Kartelo pointed out that the show will continue but on another platform.
