Comedian Jemutai has publicly called out fellow comedian Professor Hamo, urging him to stop playing victim following his recent remarks linking cheating to poverty.
In a statement shared on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, Jemutai — who shares children with Hamo — clarified that the issue that recently made him trend online was about their children, not their past relationship.
“Dear Harman Kago, stop playing victim. The reason you went viral is because of the children, haijawai kuwa about sisi. Ama about sijui nini,” she said.
She stressed that whether the children were planned or not, they are present and depend on both parents for support.
“Either tulipanga ama hatuku panga, hawa watoto wako hapa kwa hii dunia. Wanatutegemea sisi,” she added.
Jemutai Questions Hamo’s Podcast Appearances
Jemutai also questioned Hamo’s decision to appear on multiple podcasts discussing personal matters, suggesting that the interviews do not benefit him financially.
“Sasa ebu imagine, as a dad, you are jumping from one podcast to the other ukidiscuss sijui nini Hamo,” she said.
According to her, such appearances only generate content for others who monetize it, while he gains nothing in return.
“Interview haikulipi, unaenda kupea watu content, they will make money, and you go home empty-handed. Ni fame gani unatafuta?” she posed.
She further warned that the continued public discussions could damage his brand.
“You continue damaging your brand. Halafu unakuja hapa kusema hapa sijui nini. God is a gracious God, hakuna vile God atakupunish for 5 years,” she added.
Hamo’s Cheating and Poverty Remarks
The exchange follows a video shared on February 28, 2026, in which Hamo stated that the “shortest way to poverty” is cheating on one’s spouse.
“When I said the shortest way to poverty is when you cheat on your wife or husband, ni ukweli,” he said.
Hamo argued that many people blame the economy when their businesses collapse, yet the real cause may be personal decisions made behind the scenes.
“It is so hidden you think biashara yako ilianguka juu ya uchumi, si uchumi. Si uchumi,” he stated.
He maintained that individuals often point fingers at external factors instead of reflecting on their own actions.
The public exchange between the two comedians has since sparked debate online, with many weighing in on co-parenting, accountability, and the impact of personal matters being discussed in public spaces.
