Kenyan celebrities especially comedians are not new to controversy. If they're not conning Kenyans, fighting over women, or living beyond their means, they're busy getting loans and refusing to pay.

Newly appointed NACADA board member and comedian Vincent Muasya, alias Chipukeezy is the latest to be exposed for not paying a local stylist.

According to the stylist,  she dressed Chipukeezy and some of his family members and he promised to pay for the clothes but three months down the line, he is still taking her in circles. She told Heads Up

The event was in June. He requested I also dress his family members and the bill came to Sh120,000. He paid me Sh73,000, but has since refused to pay the Sh47,000 balance. It is now three months. He doesn't pick my calls or respond to my text messages.

She added that

He is my neighbour and when I go to his house to demand for the money, the guards block me. There was a time he referred me to me his brother, who also does not pick my calls. He still wears some of the suits and blazers which he was supposed to return.

A few weeks ago, another comedian, David the Student was also exposed for conning Kenyan living in the USA.

One of the men who sent more than Sh100,000 to David the Student exclusively told Mpasho.co.ke that the comedian had a bad habit of borrowing money and at one point fell out with his host. He narrated how his friend paid for the comedian’s CNA classes but when he was given a job, he refused to work claiming it was hard.

'So David was living with my friend who hosted him for 3 months in  Seattle, the guy was tired of David asking him for money in false pretense and with a good heart, he paid 600 for David CNA classes. David did the classes but he refused to work claiming it’s to hard for him. After a while, the guy who hosted him was tired of him and he told Davy to look for something to do and get off the house. David lied to him that he already got his ticket back to Kenya and asked the guy to drop him off at the airport on a Saturday. David had no flight. He called me lying to me how he had missed his flight from Seattle to Dallas and since he had broken ties with his former host, he pleaded with me to let him stay at my place overnight and leave the next day. Just being human, I let the dude at my place so that next day, being on Sunday he leaves to Dallas then Kenya, as he had told me, so next day Sunday dude is not ready to leave and I asked him what time he was leaving then he started his lies how his flight was canceled again to Monday. That Sunday I had visitors at my house and I didn’t want to ruin my day. So I let the guy be. So Sunday night I asked him what time he was leaving on Monday coz I wasn’t about to leave him in my house and he started stories of how he needs to pay a fee penalty for his flight to Dallas coz of cancellation and since I was tired of this dude and I was ready to see him off, I ended paying for his ticket to Dallas mind you after he left I came to learn that he had tried to ask money from 2 of my visitors without my knowledge but no one fell prey. So after he left for Dallas he claimed that he will send me money through the guy who would be picking him at the airport in Dallas coz he was “supposedly” to spend the night there and leave to Kenya the next day. The dude is heartless in asking for money. He is a professional con man!'
