Kenyan media personality Shaffie Weru has surprised fans with revelations about his past earnings as a radio presenter.
During an interview with a local online podcast channel, Shaffie Weru disclosed that he used to rake in a substantial Sh1 million per month.
“Before tax, I made about Ksh 1.1 million, and that was back in the day, around 2006. Money was flowing. The earnings back then were spent on parties, buying luxurious cars, and I also had kids early. My firstborn is in university now, just calculate, 18 years ago, so I was also paying school fees,” shared Shaffie Weru.
Between 2006 and 2007, Shaffie Weru was likely one of the highest-paid radio presenters in Kenya, especially during his tenure hosting the morning show on Kiss FM.
In 2021, Shaffie Weru faced dismissal from HomeBoyz radio after making on-air comments advising women to be cautious during initial encounters with unfamiliar men.
