Socialite turned businesswoman Vera Mungasia, otherwise known as Vera Sidika has responded to claims that she refused to settle a ksh5,000 debt owed to comedian Mannerson Oduor, alias Akuku Danger.
In a series of statements made on her Instagram page, the
socialite accused the comic of using her name to market his business and gain
fame.
“I just discovered there are professionals at lying. Some names I never knew existed till today. Someone just mentioned it to me and told me they’re desperately looking for fame because their mates became famous from some comedy show unlike him,” wrote Vera.
She added; “Now their career is ‘professional liars’.
I’ve never in my life talked to any human being called chicken. The only
chicken I know is inghoko (hen)…. I didn’t even know that name till today.
Congratulations I’ve finally known you exist.”
Vera also alleged that Akuku Danger demanded extra money after arriving at the event venue and learnt of the expensive set-up.
“It’s bad manners to ask for a figure, get paid in full
seconds later, even before you go anywhere. You get to the location and the
cars in the parking lot shocks you. The decor on ground is on another level so
you start making excuses on why you want to be added 5k on top…. I’ve never
in my life paid anyone exact amount if they delivered well. No matter how small
their business is. I always tip them well,” she concluded.
In response, the comedian issued a statement maintaining
that he is just demanding what is rightfully his.
In his statement, Akuku Danger stated that he doesn’t care
about how much he spent on her gender reveal party but only interested in the Ksh
5,000 owed to him
“Listen here Mrs Marangi. I don’t care about the water
that you ordered from the website, I don’t care about the decor that was
“out of this world” I don’t care about the fame that you talking
about so I’m not desperately looking for it like you desperately looking for a
husband,” wrote the comedian.
Adding; “Just pay me my KSh 5,000 for sound that’s what
I’m asking I don’t want your tips. Make it a habit of not using people
especially small business startups to finance your events! I don’t want to be
paid with mentions, it’s cash baby! Cash!”
