Andrew Mwiko, the manager of Kenya’s rapidly rising comedienne Dem Wa Facebook, has officially called it quits after steering the content creator’s career for one year and two months.
In a heartfelt note drenched with emotion, Mwiko reflected on the remarkable journey they shared, expressing gratitude for being a pivotal part of her meteoric rise. He noted how the experience was both fulfilling and transformative.
“It has been an extraordinary journey serving as Dem Wa Facebook’s manager for the past one year and two months. Together, we’ve accomplished milestones that once seemed like distant dreams,” he said, his words resonating with a tone of triumph and nostalgia.
Mwiko also revealed that despite their professional parting, his ambitions remain steadfast. With Dem Wa Facebook reportedly launching her own weekly show, Mwiko has set his sights on discovering and nurturing fresh talent.
“I am now ready to sign new talents who have unshakable belief in themselves. By the grace of God and with the lessons learned from managing Dem Wa Facebook, I am confident in my ability to help others achieve their dreams,” he said, exuding optimism and determination.
A Meteoric Ascent
Before dazzling the social media stage and becoming a household name, Dem Wa Facebook was just another football player in the serene village of Kitale. Her rise to stardom has been nothing short of a Cinderella story, one fueled by sheer grit and undeniable talent.
She began humbly, creating sporadic videos with witty punchlines that slowly captured the hearts of her growing audience. However, her true breakthrough came when media mogul Oga Obinna recognized her potential and signed her for his weekly show, The Oga Obinna Show. It was here that her comedic genius shone brightest, and her “A-game” took the internet by storm.
The professional bond between the two grew so strong that they famously referred to each other as “bebii.” This camaraderie reached its peak on September 12, 2024, when Obinna went the extra mile, gifting Dem Wa Facebook a brand-new car while promising even greater plans for her future.
A Rift in the Comedy Kingdom
However, as is often the case in the glittering world of fame, the partnership between Obinna and Dem Wa Facebook was not immune to turbulence. By November 2024, whispers of a fallout began to circulate.
For weeks, neither party addressed the rumors directly, but eagle-eyed fans noticed that Obinna’s show, where Dem Wa Facebook co-hosted, had come to a screeching halt.
Eventually, Obinna broke the silence, announcing that the show was merely on hiatus. Not long after, both confirmed they had chosen to part ways professionally, leaving fans wondering what the future holds for the dynamic duo turned rivals.
