There was even a time that Papa said that he would leave the show if they followed through on a plan to fire Njoro, the thespian disclosed.

But one thing that people might not know is that Njoro who was a makanga before his big break once had an altercation with his benefactor, Charles.

During a recent interview on the Wicked Edition with Dr. King'ori, Njoro narrated how they had once fought, saying,

"Tulishikana mangumi, lakini jioni tulikuwa tukisikiza rhumba pamoja!" (We punched each other but in the evening we were listening to Rhumba)

Who had started the altercation? "Mimi, Nilikunywa maji yake kwa basi tukitravel. Aliniwekelea, naminikamwekelea! Akaanza kutoa damu. (I started the fight by drinking his water in the bus that we were travelling in. Hepunched me, them I punched him, he even bled)

Before adding, "Our boss, (the director of Tahamaki) separated us . I was lucky we fought in the bus or he would have gotten the upper hand."
