Why Jua Cali Has Apologised To Comedian Njugush

Gengetone Legend Paul Julius Nunda, known by his stage name Jua Cali, has come out to clarify his comments on comedian Njugush.  

This comes after he made comments that appeared to doubt the comedy standards of Njugush after saying he is not funny.

"Njugush ni boy wangu but hakuna comedian hapo, not funny at all," he said.

The comments attracted lots of reactions from Kenyans with some castigating him while others backed him. 

The heat generated by his remarks forced him to issue a clarification on the same. 

Jua Cali apologised to those harangued by his remarks even as he appeared to maintain the stand he had passed in the controversial tweet. 

"Fans wa Njugush na Njugush poleni sana kama hio tweet ilicome out harsh hio haikua intention napenda Skits za Njugush. Ni vile tu StandUp ni ballgame ingine noma but polepole with practice Njugush will become one of the Greats," he said in the tweet.

"Let’s come together, StandUp ni artform inataka patience na a lot of resources kama tu music industry but done right hapo kuna doe kuruka! If we put our heads together tutatoboa."

Jua Cali went on to explain the difference between stand-up comedy and music saying while they can produce one song and perform it severally, that cannot apply to a comedian. 

He said comedy has a way of getting things done that everyone engaged in it must be willing to pay the price. 

"The difference between Musicians na StandUp comedians ni sisi wanamziki we create the content mara moja and we can perform it on stage hundreds of times but with comedians you have to be constantly creating coz ukirudia joke mara mbili si joke tena," he added.

"Standup comedian has to have a huge team of dope writers ndio special ikue na structure, examples of dope writers wale nawajua ni YY na Butita."

According to him, he is the one who encouraged Butita to do one-hour specials when they were on a flight to Dubai a few years back.
