• KK Mwenyewe had appealed for help to pay his school fees.

• The comedian's appeal has been well met with Andrew Kibe leading the charge.

Content creator Andrew Kibe is a very divicise media personality but his latest move this week might have actually turned some of his detractors into fans.

The popular YouTuber who is now based in Texas has been at the forefront trying to help famous Riggy G imitator KK Mwenyewe.

The former Kiss100 radio presenter initiated a mchango for KK after the comedian had appealed to the public for Sh 10k to help him pay his school fees at Kisii University.

Some like Nairobi governor Johnson Sakaja came through for him but it seems that Kibe's mobilisation effort has been a spectacular success as can be seen in the crazy amount that Kenyans were able to contribute.

"I recognised his talent, and a few friends and I came together to raise the money, between Ksh350,000-Ksh400,000. We want to give it to him because we know he is a good artist, and we hope that he can continue doing what he does," Kibe said.

While KK might be in better place financially, the oft-asked question (and never answered BTW) is why Ivy Chelimo (the creator of the funny Riggy G moniker) has been hired by the deputy president while KK has been left out in the cold.

The question has raised many possible answers with some saying that Rigathi gachagua might have been pleased with the moniker as it engendered him to Kenyans, especially the youth.

But KK's act doesn't really show the DP in the best of light, as in many of the skits he looks like he is an uncouth and bumbling politician.

In short, Chelimo's nickname makes Rigathi look cool and has people laughing with him, while KK's impersonation dumbs him down and has people laughing at him.

Either way, let's hope that KK can use the money wisely.
