Why did Kasolo and Ndeke ya Muthanga disagree?
Their feud emerged in 2024 and worsened when Kasolo made a harsh remark about Ndeke’s wife, calling her "kibogoyo," a slang term for someone missing teeth. In a playful comeback, Ndeke responded with a video on social media, turning the insult into a moment of humour.
In the clip, he assured fans that his wife had a full set of teeth and even joked that she might have more than necessary. To add to the fun, he opened her mouth on camera while she blushed at the unexpected spotlight.
