JB Masanduku left many of us thrilled with his exquisite talent in his heyday, a couple of years back. His stand-up was smart and incisive, lacking the commonly-used mother-tongue influence comedy that is norm de rigour in this country.

As the spawn of the mega-talented Masanduku Arap Smit, we expected a lot from this comedian.

When asked about living on top of a bar, he posited:

"Yes, I didn't have anywhere to run to. Yeah, I stayed there for awhile but I am clean now."

On the question of whether he sees his kids, maybe Tina had changed her mind. He responded by saying:

"She told me I can't even know where they live. I was told not to make contact with family members. I shouldn't know where they live."

JB Masanduku explains his side of the story on the trusted and bold tabloid, Mpasho.
