Content creator and comedian Nick Chege, alias Kartelo has revealed his reasons for stepping away from the limelight after becoming a viral internet sensation for the past two years.
This saw him make a name for himself in the entertainment industry which quickly opened doors for him on radio and even TV.
However, in 2021, Kartelo went silent and stopped sharing content on social media, further quitting his radio job at Milele FM and his TV gig at the Chipukeezy Show.
Speaking in an interview with content creator Mungai Eve, the comic said social media fame blinded him to the point that he had no time for his family.

Kartelo noted that she thought he was making a lot of money, getting money for her mother without visiting her did not make sense to him.
"Sending money to my mum without visiting her was not enough, I needed time to spend with her. I can send money to my lover but my mum, I need to see her regularly
"Life had made me a product of my fans. I was drained and there was no time for myself. Anything I did was on Kartelo and not Nick. The brand was okay but my relationship with the people who matter was not good," he stated.
On his relationship with comedian Chipukeezy, Kartelo said;
“I respect him so much but currently, we don’t talk but he helped me in so many ways. We have had our moments. He has really helped me. I don’t hold any grudge. If we meet and agree to talk, then I will be okay."
