I’M IN LOVE WITH MY TWIN SISTER – KENNYBLAQ

Budding stand-up musical comedian, Otolorin Peter Kehinde, aka Kennyblaq, is beginning to stamp his feet on the entertainment industry as a genuine article. The Lagos-bred multi-talented comedian, has created a niche for himself by uniquely re-branding the fusion of music and comedy, started by the likes of Julius Agwu and Klint de drunk.In this chat, he speaks on his career, challenges, s3x, and dynamics of the Nigerian entertainment industry. The comedian also spoke on his relationship.

Yes o, I’m in love with my twin sister (laughs), she is the love of my life for now. After I lost my mom in 2012, my twin sister has been my mom and everything, she’s been so supportive. That is not to say I don’t have female friends, I do, I even have a lot of female friends and fans that want to date me. But because I still want to be relevant in the industry in the next 10 or 20yrs, I don’t have time for a relationship. I want to work, work, and work. I’ve been in relationships before but they didn’t work because I didn’t have time for the girls. I think a lady deserves attention in a relationship; her man should always be there. It doesn’t mean I don’t have free times, I do, but even in those free times I still work. Relationships in the entertainment industry hardly work, if you have to date someone in the industry, it has to be someone who understands the nature of the job because some partners are very jealous and need real attention. So, right now I just want to wait till when I find someone who really understands because I don’t want to break any girl’s heart. I don’t even have a heart, it’s kpomo that is there.

The comedian also spoke on his success rate so far. I think I’m just starting. Before now, when I’m called up on stage to perform people hardly scream, but now when I’m done there is always a standing ovation. People didn’t know me until recently, and I think it was at Yaw’s Shalanga, I wasn’t even introduced, I just went on stage and people began screaming my name saying they love me, that was when I said to myself “Kenny Blaq, you’re getting there”. People are becoming familiar with my brand and face and I’m happy about it. Even at Pencil Unbroken, I also wasn’t introduced; I walked out to the stage when the lights were not even on, yet everybody started shouting, it was more like when Wizkid or Davido comes on stage. Should your fans expect a show from you soon? For now I’m doing a series of fans’ hangout, I want my fans to be informed about the brand, know what I’m up to, get up close and personal. But I’m planning on doing my own annual comedy show soon, I’m not sure if it’s going to be this year or next, but there are plans on the way, just be on the lookout.
