Karuri on why he did not attend Chiloba's funeral
In an interview with YouTuber Mungai Eve, Karuri explained that attending the funeral was not appropriate because he did not know the late fashion model personally.
He also said the funeral ceremony focused on the family.
“That's what I say, give me flowers when I'm still alive, don't bring me flowers when I'm dead. I haven't even seen Edwin in person. I couldn't just go there and get involved in everything. It was very family-oriented,” he said.
Karuri added that to be Celebrity, he would have attracted unnecessary attention at the ceremony.
“I wouldn't want to go there and create attention. You know me I'm a celebrity, so I get attention. I wouldn't want to go there then boom, something happens! Another topic! Denno ameonekana sijui wapi. May he rest in peace and let justice be served,” he said.
