Bebe Cool, the celebrated Gagamel boss, has addressed the recent fallout with Comedy Store’s Alex Muhangi, following an incident during the latest episode of the comedy show. In a candid TikTok live session with Crystal Panda and Bruno K, Bebe Cool provided clarity on the circumstances surrounding his decision to walk away from both his friendship and professional relationship with Muhangi.
The controversy erupted when Alex Muhangi expressed his frustration in a TikTok live video, accusing Bebe Cool of failing to perform at the Comedy Store show as agreed. Muhangi, visibly emotional, claimed that he had considered Bebe Cool a good friend, only to be disappointed when the artist failed to show up for his performance. However, Bebe Cool has since clarified that the situation was much more complicated than Muhangi’s portrayal.
According to Bebe Cool, the primary issue stemmed from a payment disagreement. The singer confirmed that he had agreed to perform for Muhangi at short notice but insisted on being paid the agreed fee upon arrival. However, when he arrived at the venue early, Bebe Cool claims he was left waiting in the parking lot for 40 minutes, with no payment in sight.
“I had a tight schedule, but I agreed to perform for him. He told me he would pay me once I arrived. I showed up early, but he didn’t come out to explain the situation,” Bebe Cool stated. “Instead, his team kept sending people to speak to me while he went ahead and introduced me on stage, knowing I hadn’t been paid.”
What frustrated Bebe Cool the most was the way Muhangi handled the situation. The Gagamel boss accused the comedian of attempting to put him in a difficult position by introducing him to the audience, fully aware that the payment issue had not been resolved. Bebe Cool saw this as a deliberate attempt to pressure him into performing in front of the audience, which would have tarnished his image if he refused to take the stage.
“What angered me most is that he sent his boys to handle the situation instead of coming out himself,” Bebe Cool said. “I did everything I could to fulfill my part of the deal, but he was trying to make it seem like I was the one who wasn’t delivering.”
In light of the situation, Bebe Cool has made it clear that he will no longer work with Alex Muhangi, stating that he no longer trusts the comedian. Despite forgiving him in the past, the Gagamel boss has drawn a firm line in the sand, declaring that there will be no reconciliation between the two.
“I’ve forgiven him before, but I can’t work with him again,” Bebe Cool declared. “He showed me who he is, and I’ve moved on. I’ve erased him from my life.”
The fallout between Bebe Cool and Alex Muhangi serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of professionalism and respect in the entertainment industry. While Muhangi may have viewed Bebe Cool as a close friend, the singer’s decision to sever ties reflects the severity of the perceived betrayal. Moving forward, Bebe Cool remains focused on his career and maintaining relationships built on trust and integrity.
