This comes after the comedian was notably absent from Prince Indah’s much-talked-about traditional ceremony.
Opening up to his audience, Ofweneke clarified that the viral event was not, in fact, a wedding.
“Guys, it wasn’t a wedding, and I don’t think many people have fully understood that. It was a ‘Nyondo’, which is similar to a ruracio – a traditional dowry-paying ceremony. The wedding comes afterwards,” he explained.
He went on to address the online chatter, noting that several familiar faces were conspicuously missing from the event.
“I know there was a lot of concern about the people who weren’t present – and yes, I was one of them. People have come up with all sorts of theories, but the real reason I didn’t attend is because I had another event on the same day,” he clarified.
Ofweneke further stated that there is no bad blood between him and Prince Indah. In fact, he claimed to have sent a generous contribution.
“I sent Indah half a million shillings. There’s no negativity between us – we’re good friends,” he added.
Another notable absentee was musician Kelvin Bahati. Ofweneke jokingly suggested that Bahati was “somewhere along Kiambu Road looking for a Lamborghini to gift his wife.”
The third missing figure was singer Ema Jalamo, whom Ofweneke referred to as Indah’s uncle. To shed light on Jalamo’s absence, Ofweneke invited a guest on his show who offered some cultural context:
“Let me not say he’s not allowed, but for things to go smoothly, it’s often better if he doesn’t attend. We must respect tradition and follow our customs,” the guest explained.
Concluding his remarks, Ofweneke shared a heartfelt message for Prince Indah:
“Prince Indah, my brother – I’d really appreciate it if next time you could tell me about your wedding in advance, even before anyone else, and I’ll definitely make time to attend,” he said with a smile.
