Crazy Kennar: Why He Won't Join Politics Even If Given a Chance

Comedian Crazy Kennar has revealed why his dedication inclines more to art over political aspirations.

Speaking from Mlimani City, where he performed at Joe Master’s show, Kennar shared his views during an interview with the Wasafi Media crew, providing a deeper understanding of his purpose in society.

Despite his strong alignment with the youth movement and calls for justice, Crazy Kennar was unambiguous about his lack of political aspirations.

“I have already accepted my role in society; not all of us can be MPs,” Kennar stated.

“I genuinely want to be someone who makes people happy and to reflect what is happening in society... it's about continuing to expand, entertain, and educate. So, what I’m doing is edutainment,” he added.

Crazy Kennar also offered valuable advice for aspiring content creators. He encouraged them by stating, "As long as you have a phone, know you have money in your hand."

He emphasized that it's never too late to start and urged persistence despite initial challenges.

Kennar revealed his extensive experience in the content creation industry, stating that he has been doing content creation for close to a decade and at one point he employed more than 500 people.

"I have been doing content for nine years now and I just started with a mobile phone and now you see I have done so many things, I have traveled, I have hired many people, there was a point where I had hired about 500 people in the show."

Despite challenges for many starters, Kennar emphasized perseverance and the potential for financial reward.

“Push until you get there, then art also has money if you put your soul into it, so young people, let's continue to work hard and I love you all."

Regarding his safety given his bold content, Kennar expressed confidence as he perceives his role as simply reflecting realities in the society.

He firmly believes that "msanii ni kioo cha jamii" (an artist is a mirror of society) rather than just expressing personal opinions.

He highlighted prevalent issues such as corruption, where vast sums of money allocated for projects dwindle significantly by the time they reach the ground.
