Andrew Kibe, the former radio presenter and popular YouTuber, was recently a guest on the Iko Nini podcast hosted by Mwafreeka, leading to a lively and at times tense discussion that spanned various topics, including marriage, divorce, religion, and even relocating to Kenya.
The episode, which aired on April 23, took a surprising turn right from the start when Kibe expressed his frustration with what he saw as a lack of hospitality upon his arrival. He questioned Mwafreeka, “But Mwaf, even a glass of water? Not even a coffee?” clearly unimpressed by the absence of any refreshments. Mwafreeka, attempting to explain, noted that Kibe had already arrived holding a can of Red Bull, suggesting that he was already hydrated. However, Kibe remained unconvinced, playfully pressing further, asking, “Even glucose? The least you could do is offer a cup of water. No coffee at all?”
The host, trying to reassure him, explained that drinks were available, but they had assumed Kibe was fine, especially with the Red Bull in hand. This seemingly trivial exchange then morphed into a deeper reflection on Kibe’s domestic life. He shared how he dislikes being asked seemingly simple questions at home, such as whether he wanted a cup of water. “I can’t stand being asked such questions. After sitting in the house for three hours, she asks if I want a cup of water. No. I’ll end up doing something stupid,” Kibe joked, showing his frustration with routine inquiries in domestic settings.
The conversation then took another unexpected twist when Mwafreeka explained that part of the reason no coffee was offered was because they wanted Kibe to be 100% sober for the podcast. He recounted an earlier experience with a guest who had consumed alcohol during the show and ended up drunk by the time it ended. This revelation took Kibe aback, prompting him to ask, “So the only reason you didn’t offer me coffee is because you wanted me sober?”
Despite the tension, the two hosts managed to move on and continue with the conversation. The mood lightened when Kibe put Mwafreeka on the spot, asking him to support his work by purchasing copies of his self-published books. True to his word, Mwafreeka bought three copies, each costing KSh1,000, showing his commitment to supporting Kibe’s entrepreneurial efforts.
With the tension eased, the two resumed their conversation, eventually diving back into the various issues they had initially planned to explore. Topics such as marriage, divorce, and the intricacies of religion were revisited, providing listeners with an engaging and multifaceted discussion. Throughout the episode, Kibe’s bold opinions and Mwafreeka’s calm demeanor made for an entertaining and dynamic exchange, ensuring the episode was one of the more memorable ones in recent podcast history.
