His last appearance was on the final episode of Reign Radio, which he co-hosted with his friend, Peter Miracle Baby.
Earlier this year, Kartelo was invited for an interview on Obinna Live, hosted by Oga Obinna.
During their conversation, Kartelo opened up about the challenges he faced in getting back on his feet. Inspired by his story, Obinna pitched an idea for a collaboration, which they agreed to discuss further after the interview.
Now, Kartelo is back and better than ever, teaming up with Oga Obinna for a new comedy show titled Zabe. Hosted by the dynamic duo, the show has quickly gained popularity as a Kenyan online comedy series known for its satirical skits and sharp commentary on current affairs.
The pair’s signature blend of humour and observational comedy, often infused with trending topics, has resonated with audiences.
Oga Obinna’s energetic delivery and Kartelo’s unique Sheng slang and comedic storytelling create a sparking chemistry that keeps viewers hooked.
With Season 1, Episode 1 already uploaded, Zabe is poised to make a significant impact on the Kenyan comedy scene, and fans can expect even greater things in the future.
This new venture marks Oga Obinna’s third YouTube channel, adding to his already impressive portfolio. His other active channels include Obinna TV (637K subscribers), The Obinnaz (189K subscribers), and Obinna TV Extra (398K subscribers).
Obinna currently holds the record for the most YouTube channels in Kenya with over 100,000 subscribers each, a testament to his loyal fan base built over 15 years in the industry.
Initially criticized for managing multiple channels, Obinna turned the skepticism into motivation, even venturing into music production.
His music videos have consistently gone viral, surpassing 1 million views and topping Kenya’s trending charts multiple times.
Kartelo’s return has been met with excitement from fans who fondly remember the quality content he produced during the COVID-19 pandemic, bringing smiles to many during challenging times.
