Comedian Flaqo, known for his content, has shared his life sacrifice of not growing beards.
In a humorous Instagram video, he shares his experiences with younger individuals with fully-developed beards, revealing that he often receives advice from them, such as focusing solely on his career.
“Not having beards will lead to you getting advice from a 20-year-old… In real life, I get advice from people younger than me with fully-developed beards. Giving me life advice. This guy told me what he really thinks I should eliminate from my life is the aspect of women because they suck a lot out of me.
“Ati I should not be having a girlfriend right now, I should just focus on my career. Am a 30-year-old man! Do you know kuna mtu ako 23 years old na ako na mtoto in high school? I was just sitting there the whole time listening in disbelief,” he said.
He explained that while he could choose to grow a beard if he wanted to, the nature of his content prevents him from doing so.
He emphasised the daily sacrifice he makes to ensure the authenticity of his content. Shaving every day is part of his routine, especially for characters like Mama Otis and Akoth, who do not have beards.
He explained that consistency in appearance is crucial for characters like Mama Otis and Akoth, as any change in their physical attributes could disrupt the audience’s connection with them.
“I have to wake up every day and shave because it’s part of my routine. Mama Otis doesn’t have beards, and Akoth doesn’t have beards. If they did then it means the character would change. They would not look the same anymore. That’s a sacrifice I have to make every single day,” he said.
