Kenyan comedian and media personality, Oga Obinna, recently shared exciting developments regarding the second season of his popular show, My Woman, during an interview with Commentator 254. Following the success of the first season, Obinna revealed that the upcoming season will feature none other than the controversial Kenyan politician, MP Peter Salasya, adding an intriguing twist to the show’s storyline. However, behind the scenes, the journey to this point hasn’t been smooth sailing. Obinna opened up about the setbacks the show faced, the challenges of content creation, and his relationship with fellow entertainers like Eddie Butita and Stevo Simple Boy.
The Loss of the “My Woman” Finale
One of the biggest challenges for Obinna came at the end of My Woman‘s first season, which had left fans eagerly anticipating the final episode. Unfortunately, after shooting the finale for an entire day and night, the footage was tragically lost due to a hard drive crash. The incident was a significant blow to the production, as efforts to recover the footage proved futile. Eddie Butita, who was also involved in the project, confirmed the unfortunate event and pledged to cover the costs of reshooting the episode.
Obinna shared how the crash not only wiped out the My Woman finale but also erased other important files, including the footage for his song “Kado.” Despite this setback, Obinna found a way to release the song earlier this month. His resilient attitude toward the technical mishap is indicative of his ability to navigate challenges in the entertainment industry.
A New Chapter for My Woman – Featuring MP Salasya
Looking ahead, Obinna is gearing up for the second season of My Woman with renewed enthusiasm. This season promises to be bigger and better, with a new twist: finding a wife for MP Peter Salasya. Known for his bold personality, Salasya has gained attention for his antics both in and out of the political arena. Now, Obinna is setting out to help the politician find a life partner. “He has money but no partner,” Obinna jokingly remarked, setting the tone for what viewers can expect—a blend of humor, drama, and real-life matchmaking.
The collaboration with Salasya is likely to draw in viewers from both the entertainment and political spheres, as the show ventures into uncharted territory by blending reality TV with the often unpredictable world of Kenyan politics.
Stevo Simple Boy Controversy and Obinna’s Perspective on Showbiz
Obinna’s recent interview also touched on his relationship with Stevo Simple Boy, a fellow Kenyan entertainer. Stevo had previously accused Obinna of using him, sparking a brief public spat. However, Obinna was quick to downplay the drama, attributing it to “positive showbiz.” According to him, the accusations only served to keep his name in the headlines for a week, something he found amusing rather than upsetting. “It’s all part of the game,” Obinna remarked, emphasizing that there is no bad blood between him and Stevo.
Despite the tension, Obinna revealed his genuine desire to help Stevo improve his content creation by getting him a smartphone, a gesture aimed at enhancing the rapper’s digital presence. He also recalled an incident where Stevo was supposed to perform at a show in Kitale but backed out last minute, only to later express regret. Obinna chalked it up to the usual unpredictability of the entertainment industry, noting that such occurrences are part of the job.
The Scripted Feud with Eric Omondi
In the interview, Obinna also shed light on his supposed feud with comedian Eric Omondi. According to Obinna, their public spat over money was nothing more than a scripted part of showbiz, designed to stir up conversations. He acknowledged that while some fans criticized him for it, he believes that in the entertainment business, publicity—whether positive or negative—drives success.
Obinna explained that such stunts are common in the industry and are often necessary to keep fans engaged. He referred to the scripted feud as part of the blend between entertainment and business, a balance that can sometimes blur the lines between real and fabricated disputes.
Conclusion
As Obinna prepares for the next season of My Woman, featuring MP Salasya, his candid reflections on the challenges and nuances of the entertainment industry offer a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes realities of Kenyan showbiz. From the technical disaster that almost derailed the show’s finale to the lighthearted controversy with Stevo Simple Boy and the scripted feud with Eric Omondi, Obinna’s ability to turn setbacks into entertainment highlights his resilience and showmanship. Fans of My Woman are eagerly awaiting the new season, and with Obinna at the helm, it promises to deliver laughter, drama, and a dose of political intrigue.
