Photos and videos from the event showed several entertainers arriving with their spouses or partners. Among them were comedian Eddie Butita, who attended alongside his partner Celeste; media personality Abel Mutua, who was accompanied by his wife Judy Nyawira, and filmmaker Director Phil, who also appeared with his partner Mukami Maina. Njugush, however, made a solo appearance, a detail that quickly caught the attention of social media users.
His appearance comes amid ongoing speculation surrounding his marriage to Wakavinye. While neither Njugush nor his wife addressed the matter during the event, their absence as a couple became a talking point online, with fans sharing varied opinions across social media.
X user George T. Diano posted, "Online in-laws were left seeing with their mouths wide open after Wakavinye failed to show up for the much-anticipated TTNT6."
He then jokingly claimed that Njugush was pursuing a fictional degree at the "Kalahari Institution" before concluding with the Swahili phrase, "Kama kawaida, sisi walala hoi hatuna maoni, letu ni jicho tu."
