Comedian Henry Desagu has been forced to apologize after being accused of stealing Catherine Jepkemboi alias Minicheps concept via a photo he posted on social media (now deleted).
According to Desagu, he re-posted the photo in question innocently, after being tagged by a fan, without knowing it will escalate to a point of being accused of plagiarism. The photo in question captures Desagu and Bahati on top of a table with a sheep and a goat, while singer Akothee is on the other end.
This is a concept that was introduced by Minicheps to the public and Netizens were on Desagu's case accusing him of plagiarism hence the public apology.
