Kenyan comedian YY Comedian has left fans entertained after playfully responding to comments made by fellow comedian DJ Shiti during a recent podcast interview.
The humorous exchange began after DJ Shiti mentioned YY while discussing his talents, claiming that one of the comedian’s standout skills was cooking omena. Instead of taking offense, YY responded in his signature comedic style.
YY Questions Why Omena Was the Chosen Talent
In a video posted on his Instagram page, YY first played a clip from the podcast where DJ Shiti praised his ability to cook omena.
The video then cut to YY, who jokingly questioned why that particular skill had been highlighted when, according to him, he possesses many other impressive talents.
“Hizo ni sifa gani? Hizo ni sifa gani hizo?” YY asked with a smile.
Clearly amused, he went on to list several abilities that he believes deserved a mention instead.
“How many things can I do? I can juggle the ball. I can play basketball. I can play the keyboard. I can play piano. I can play a bit of guitar and saxophone.”
His playful delivery made it clear that the response was all in good fun, with no bad blood between the two comedians.
“Omena of All the Things?”
YY continued the joke by wondering why DJ Shiti had chosen such a simple meal to describe his cooking abilities.
“Then unaenda kwa podcast kusema najua kupika omena. Surely? Omena of all the things?”
He jokingly defended his culinary reputation by revealing that he is capable of preparing more sophisticated meals as well.
“I can even make biryani. Hizo ni sifa gani hizo? Surely.”
The clip ended with YY laughing off the entire exchange, reinforcing that his response was intended purely as friendly banter.
Fans Enjoy the Friendly Exchange
Many fans found the interaction hilarious, praising the comedians for keeping the exchange light-hearted rather than turning it into unnecessary drama.
The playful back-and-forth has since attracted reactions on social media, with many users jokingly debating whether cooking omena should really be considered one of YY’s defining talents or whether his many other skills deserved the spotlight.
The exchange also highlighted the camaraderie that exists within Kenya’s comedy industry, where comedians often poke fun at one another while keeping the humour respectful and entertaining.
