The eccentric host of one of the top TV talk show, The Trend, is also quite popular on the Twitter streets. He’s loved and loathed in equal measure. Hopefully, Nairobi Gossip led by DJ RcNaby Keytoe will sneak into his show, some day!

Shaffie Weru used to be known as the ultimate party guide in Nairobi. He would party hard, “chomaining picha” in the process. Perhaps his ignominious show at Nakuru 10 rugby tournament was the lowest he ever sunk. He was escorted out of the venue by bouncers drunk, disheveled and half-naked. Mafans still love him though! The controversial radio host has mellowed with age.

Juliani has carved a unique niche for himself in the unforgiving Kenyan music industry. He has stealthily moved from the gospel music artists bandwagon to producing quality social justice music. The move paid off as he has cut lucrative deals with various corporates and NGOs. The deals too seem to have come with a sizeable Twitter following.
