Good morning,
In the recent past, we have noticed a trend of celebrities who have fallen from grace to grass trying to seek the sympathy of fellow Kenyans to bail them out of their misery.
After most of them have squandered their mouthwatering wages they were earning during the high times and fame, they come back full of tears and emotions begging philanthropic Kenyans to help them restore their lives back.
The latest case in point is the heartbreaking story of the financial woes of celebrated Tahidi actor, Peter Kinuthia, alias Omosh, who has been the talk of town the entire weekend as news of his bankruptcy went viral.
Omosh revealed that his financial woes began at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic as the entertainment industry was dealt a blow and since then has not been able to provide for his family or even pay rent for over a year.
The former Tahidi High actor had also previously confessed to struggling with alcoholism, just as most of the grace to grass cases, and although he attended rehab and cleaned up, there have been concerns that he backtracked to the troubled life.
This begs the question, shouldn’t these artistes/athletes/actors be educated early enough on how to manage their finances and how to invest wisely to have a fallback when fame fades away?

Kenyans Mourn the Death of Veteran Gospel Artist
