KK Mwenyewe, an online comedian whose claim to fame is his impersonation of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, is hospitalized.
Why did KK Mwenyewe eat pepper?
The entertainer’s goose was cooked after he said that his team, Manchester United, would defeat Chelsea on Thursday, April 4, in an English Premier League match.
Chelsea edged out the Red Devils 4-3 at Stamford Bridge, with Cole Palmer scoring a hat trick.
KK had promised to eat a kilogram of peppers if his team lost, and he was true to his word.
“As promised, if Chelsea beats Manchester United, I will eat a kg of chilli. I have lots of chillies, but I’m unsure it’s a kilogram,” he said while holding a plate of pepper.
A follow-up video showed the entertainer struggling to keep cool as the pepper took a toll on him. He drank an entire soda bottle before rushing to the toilet to brush his teeth.
He headed to the toilet while sweating profusely.
The following clip showed him in the hospital, looking weak.
“My blood pressure was off the roof, and I was dehydrated- the doctor said that I lost 7kgs of water.
I also developed ulcers,” he said.
Asked whether he would attempt eating chilies again, KK said.
“No, and I will not support football again because it is a white man’s sport.
