Kenyan media personality Shaffie Weru has opened up about his flourishing career as a radio presenter back in the day.
Speaking to Mic Cheque podcast, the former Homeboyz radio presenter revealed that he was being paid Ksh1 million.
"Just before tax, I made about Ksh1.1 million, and that was back in the day, naongea 2006. Pesa ilikua. Money back in the day ilikua partying, buying big cars, and then nilipata watoi mapema. And you know my first born is in uni, just calculate, 18 years ago, so nilikua nalipa school fees pia," he stated.
In March 2021, Shaffie Weru along with former colleagues Neville and DJ Joe Mfalme were fired from their breakfast show over insensitive remarks about Gender Based Violence.
Their contracts were terminated in 2021 after tweeps went wild calling for their cancellation.
In a past interview, the veteran journalist shared that his dismissal wasn't primarily due to his commentary, but rather a more complicated issue.
“The reason I was fired you need to understand was never about the tweets or the people, it was about the companies that were spending money on me because I was a very big presenter. Their customers were the ones attacking me, so they also started attacking the companies,” Shaffie shared.
Adding;
"When Covid hit, one of our key presenters, GMoney, contracted the virus, and with a shortage of staff, someone had to step in. Meanwhile, I was heading Homeboyz radio, transitioning it from Homeboyz Entertainment to Radio Africa. That's when the trouble began."
