Kameme FM presenter Gladys Muthoni wa Kirumba, popularly known as Baby Top, has taken a defiant stance after receiving a legal notice from Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba over alleged defamatory comments made during her mid-morning show. Baby Top co-hosts the program with Chef Gathemba, blending gossip, current affairs, and humor, often sparking lively debates among listeners.
The Controversial Broadcast
The controversy arose after a recent segment in which Gathemba jokingly referred to Wamuchomba as a “mole” or “spy,” questioning her political loyalties following her appearance at a prominent funeral. He suggested that Wamuchomba, despite being in the ruling UDA party, might be sharing information with the opposition. Baby Top laughed at the claims and challenged the source of the rumors, fueling the discussion further.
Legal Notice Sparks Defiance
Hours after the broadcast, both presenters were served a legal notice demanding a retraction, an apology, and a commitment to refrain from further defamatory remarks. However, Baby Top and Gathemba read the notice aloud on air during their next show, responding with humor and confidence. Baby Top stated:
“I can’t, I can’t, I can’t apologise for laughing. I only laughed. How can you be a mole? Whoever it is, I do not know her. I cannot apologise to someone for laughing. I can only apologise to God.”
She further teased Gathemba, questioning his worry over the notice: “Now, are you someone to get scared easily? You are a Gitungati (a leader). Why do you want to let the people down? Men are the ones who receive cases like these, and prisons were built for men to go there.” Despite warnings about the lawyer’s reputation, Baby Top remained unshaken, declaring: “Here we speak the truth, and now because we are still here and the truth will come to light, we shall see who will laugh last. I swear I will not apologise, not even secretly, not in bed or in the toilet.”
Public Reaction
The incident has sparked widespread online discussion, with fans divided over the presenters’ response. Some praised Baby Top’s courage and boldness, while others criticized the casual dismissal of a legal notice. Comments ranged from admiration for her fearless approach to humorous takes on the “spy” accusations.
