Govi- I was told I wasn’t good enough
Sharing an old photo of himself, he captioned
“19 years ago when it all began! Makutano JunctionBarely 5 years old and I could speak EnglishđThat baby you see there has never stopped dreaming. I am proud of you King Malik! Thank you @karenithagariene for supporting my career since way back despite being told youâre exploiting your child. They donât understand where weâve come from and haters will always hate.”
He went on to thank legendary producer Naomi Kamau saying
“To Naomi Kamau, one of the greatest producers and writers, who took a shot at me and guided me as my first producer. I will always appreciate you. I give you all your flowers. Machachari show changed my life. Thank you.
To the people whoâve watched me grow my craft, thank you for your support always. You deserve all good things.”
Govi hinted that at some point he was told he wasn’t good enough for the trade (acting)
“It wasnât easy, all the trolling, working day and night, all the bullying in schools, fame, being told youâre not good enough, typecasting but here we are! Ni GodNever let anyone tell you that you cannot do it. You can!”
In conclusion, he eulogized Charles Ouda who he worked with on Makutano Junction.
“Charlie, continue restingđď¸â¤ď¸”
