After years of speculation over an alleged bad blood between the country's top comedians Churchill (Ndambuki) and Eric Omondi, the latter has come out to clarify matters.
Speaking to the Nation in a QnA session, Omondi said that there was no fight between him and his mentor and that he had opted out of the show out of his volition to give room to other emerging talents.
"Once in a while, I make appearances in Churchill’s shows. But, as a first-born of Churchill, I felt that it was time for me to build my own home elsewhere so as to give space to the upcoming talent and allow them the opportunity to also grow under his tutelage," he said.
"That said, we still do shows together with Churchill and in fact, on Friday, we were together to support one of our former colleagues John Kiarie (KJ) who had a fundraising dinner for his political ambitions," he added.
After Omondi left the NTV show, many critics proclaimed his fall, saying he had disrespected his host (Churchill).
He has however proven critics wrong by among other things earning major promotion and advertisement assignments from big companies that reek in millions to his account.
