Kenyan comedian and radio host Felix Odiwuor popularly known as Jalang’o has revealed that his father died the day he got his first big job at Kiss100.
Speaking on the Chipukeezy show, the funny man said that he was informed of his father’s death by his mother immediately after he received a call that he had been offered a job at Kiss 100.
At the time Jalang’o said he could not afford to go and bury his father who wrote him a letter asking him to take care of his brothers and his mother.
“When my dad died he told me one thing, I have a letter from my dad before he died because I could not even afford to go bury my dad when he died. The same day I got my very first gig at Kiss 100 is the same day my dad died. Caroline called me and told me Jalang’o you are replacing Nyambane when she hung up my mom called and told me your dad is gone. That’s how sad it was for me,” he narrated.
He went ahead to say how he first came to Nairobi as a house help for his uncle but because he knew what he wanted, he could not stop there.
