From College Sweethearts to Media Moguls

For many followers, the news marks the end of a significant era in the local entertainment industry. Njugush and Celestine first met as students at the Kenya Institute of Mass Communication (KIMC).

Together, they built a massive business empire under the Njugush Creatives brand. This included highly successful live comedy shows such as Through Thick and Thin (TTNT), which frequently sold-out major venues in Nairobi and internationally.

Their relatable comedy, which often focused on the trials and triumphs of young marriage, earned them millions of followers across various social media platforms.
