‘I WAS NOT FIRED FROM HOT 96’ PROFESSOR HAMO SPEAKS ON UNCEREMONIOUS EXIT

Churchill Show comedian Herman Kago, popularly known as Professor Hamo has dismissed claims that he was fired from Hot 96.

Speaking in a sit-down interview with fellow comedian Jalang’o, the comic explained that he quit his job at the radio station because he don’t not have enough time to do other things. “I decided at some point that I was there to learn, you cannot stay in school indefinitely, I’m a young man and I need to go out and hustle. I realised while on radio you cannot hustle and if you don’t have money it doesn’t make sense. TV taught me how to hustle, I follow my heart and whatever I want to do I go out there and do it,” he said. 

Hamo added that he approached his boss demanding for pay rise before quitting. “I talked to my boss and I told him whatever they were paying was tempting me to quit and he told me they were reviewing it. I told myself that if I remain I will be waiting for the salary review and so I decided to go out and create my own life,” said Professor Hamo. 

On his scandal where he was accused of neglecting his kids by baby mama, comedian Jemutai, Hamo stated that he approached her and asked her to avoid publicising the scandal. “I went to Jemutai and I told her to go slow. I explained that I’m the head of the house and if anything falls it is on me whether success or failure I take the blame. I talked to her and the good thing is that my wife knew about my relationship with Jemutai,” he stated. 

The former radio presenter added that he was going through a hard time and he was not in a position to provide for his family, adding that he was also not in good terms with Jemutai. “It was hard, and you see whatever little you have cannot help a lot it’s only for survival and at that time we were not talking to each other and she could not understand what I was going through because we did not communicate at all,” said Hamo. 

Finally, Hamo spoke on his apology to his wife and baby mama noting that he was doing it for the sake of her children. “The essence of the apology is the truth. I first went home and apologises to them. I told them I was ready to face the world but not my kids. The important thing was honesty,” he affirmed.
