Comedian Jaymoh Decin has revealed that he locked himself indoors for two days after his viral Warembo na Kasongo skit, admitting he feared he could be arrested following the video’s explosive reception online.
Speaking during a podcast interview with MicCheque, the comedian said what began as a light-hearted comedy sketch unexpectedly left him anxious as he watched the public reaction unfold.
Jaymoh explained that the skit, which humorously referenced President William Ruto through the “Kasongo” character, was only intended as a one-off performance to entertain his audience and promote his comedy show.
“It was a one-time thing because I felt I needed to market my show and the experience,” he said.
The comedian added that he also wanted to bring to life a character many of his followers had repeatedly asked him to portray.
“I needed to do a character that people had been telling me to act. I also threw in the Subaru jokes because people always associate me with them,” he said.
Although the skit quickly gained traction across social media, Jaymoh admitted that its popularity was accompanied by overwhelming anxiety.
Instead of celebrating the viral moment, he found himself worrying about what could happen next.
“I locked myself in the house for two days after doing Warembo na Kasongo,” he revealed.
Jaymoh said his fears were influenced by the prevailing atmosphere at the time, particularly reports about creatives and public figures allegedly being arrested or abducted after making politically sensitive content.
The comedian explained that he genuinely believed he could become the next target simply because of the attention the skit had attracted.
“I was getting calls from politicians asking, ‘Are you safe? Have you been arrested?'” he recalled.
Despite the widespread concern, Jaymoh clarified that he never received threats from anyone.
“No. There was nothing threatening that followed,” he said.
He decided to leave the house and continue with his normal life, acknowledging that his fears had been driven largely by uncertainty.
“After two days I came out and realized nothing was happening. I had run away because of the fear,” he said.
Even so, he maintained that his reaction felt understandable given the circumstances at the time.
Warembo na Kasongo became one of Jaymoh’s most talked-about comedy sketches, generating widespread discussion across social media.
