"I'm married but I've been single for years." - Andrew Kibe |
Former Kiss 100 presenter Andrew Kibe has finally
revealed why he left his much touted gig at the Radio Africa-owned station just
one year into the job.
Speaking to Jalas on his YouTube
channel, Bonga na Jalas, Kibe said he fell out with his boss
Patrick Quarcoo before giving a three-month notice. However, he did not let anyone
in on the decision, not even his co-host Kamene Goro. “Just when Covid hit,
mimi na mdosi wangu tukakosana, because huyu msee aliniangalia na madharau. You
don’t want anybody to pity you. My boss looked at me with contempt and I
decided I can’t work with him,” he said.
“One day early morning, I sent him a
message saying, ‘Three months from today, I will leave that office.’ I
told friends and everyone in my life but they did not believe me. They were all
in denial. I didn’t tell anybody anything, even Kamene came to know the other
day and she is devastated,” he added. Kibe revealed that he was inebriated when
negotiating his exit. He also heaped praise on his former co-host with whom he
worked and dramatically exited NRG Radio.
Kibe bid his fans goodbye on Tuesday morning
via Twitter: “It’s been real watu nguyas. I will miss all your nonsense in the
morning especially @KameneGoro,” he Tweeted.
During the YouTube show, Jalas also revealed
that he will be filling Kibe’s position, but did not state when that will be. Speculation
was already rife that the former Milele FM presenter was headed to Lion’s
Place. He did not confirm nor deny, however, instead noting that he had spoken
with Quarcoo. “But I want to say I might end up on Waiyaki Way. On Waiyaki Way
there are so many radios. But I had an amazing meeting with my friend, my boss,
the first person who ever gave me my first-ever radio contract, Mr Patrick
Quarcoo. We had a long discussion, so take away NRG Radio, but I think I might
end up back where it all began, Radio Africa. Which radio, I still don’t know; could be Kiss 100, Classic FM or Jambo,” he said.
