Source: Facebook The clip, which resurfaced on Instagram on Thursday, August 27, shows the beloved Kiswahili TV presenting couple seated at their news desk, locked in a debate that quickly turned personal. Why did Rashid and Lulu argue on Citizen TV? The exchange began when Rashid argued that whatever someone posts online is entirely their own business.
“Right now, if I share a picture with a song, I know why I chose the song. It is my social media page,” Rashid said, making his case with conviction. Lulu was having none of it. She fired back, suggesting that a song choice could easily be read as a coded message to a partner. “Your wife will ask you why you chose that specific song,” she told him pointedly, before adding: “There are things you could post and send an unintended message to the fans.” Rashid’s response was blunt. “She should also use her song of choice,” he said, refusing to budge. The debate took a slyly comedic turn when Lulu framed a hypothetical directly aimed at her husband. “If I post a song about a breakup, my husband must ask me. Right?” she said, before glancing knowingly at the camera. Rashid remained unbothered. “No, that is your social media page. Must you explain everything?” he replied, drawing laughs from the set. The two were still mid-debate when the show’s director stepped in, prompting Lulu to cut off the conversation and wrap up the bulletin rather abruptly, all while both struggled to contain their laughter. The clip resonated widely with Kenyans online, who have long adored the couple for their unscripted, warm dynamic both on and off screen. Here is what some fans had to say: @jemima_wakio: “Nawapenda bure hawa 😂😂❤️❤️❤️ so natural.” @kish_hashim: “These might one day fight on air.” @nancyshiro62: “I love this couple. May Allah continue to bless you.” @wicklifowuor: “If all marriages were like this.” @Illestcollince: “Most realistic couple, no pretence.”
