Kenyan-born comedian, actor, and scriptwriter Edwin Butita, popularly known as Eddie Butita, has left fans speculating he is in a new relationship after his latest post on Instagram.
The theatre director posted a photo of content creator and social media influencer, Sadia Said, wishing her a happy International Women's Day.
In what seems like a bid to confuse his fans more, Butita disabled the comment section, so one can only like but not send comments.
"Happy International Womens Day," Butita captioned the photo.
