Riggy G impersonator KK Mwenyewe hospitalized

Renowned Kenyan comedian Zachariah Kariuki, famously known as KK Mwenyewe, is reported to have been hospitalized on Friday after consuming too many chili peppers.

The comedian, best known for impersonating Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Thursday, vowed to eat a whole kilogram of chili peppers if his favorite team, Manchester United, lost to Chelsea.

Unfortunately for him, the Red Devils were defeated 4-3 in the match played at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night, and he was compelled to fulfill his promise to his fans.

"As I promised, I will eat a whole kilogram of chili peppers. I don't know what will happen, but let's get started," KK said in a photo he shared on the early hours of Friday, showing him holding a plate of peppers.

He also shared a video showing him consuming the spicy ingredients and admitting that he was unaware of the consequences of his action.

In the video, the comedian was seen struggling to swallow the peppers and couldn't even finish two spoons of the fiery fruit.

After failing to continue, he was seen drinking soda, presumably to relieve the burning sensation in his mouth. He was also seen attempting to brush his teeth and consuming a lot of sugar to alleviate the strong taste.

Later on Friday, the comedian shared a video seemingly showing him hospitalized, receiving treatment on a hospital bed.

"I'm being hydrated. The doctor said I was dehydrated. I feel my stomach is burning. It feels like hell," KK told his friend.

"My blood pressure was high, and my blood levels dropped significantly. I lost fluids; they said I lost seven kilograms of fluids... The doctors said it's not serious. But I feel like I don't know if it's the peppers that caused it or..." he added.

Following the poor outcome, the comedian made it clear that he will never attempt such a thing again and also announced that he will no longer support football.
