Africa President of Comedy Africa Eric Omondi says Churchill did not pay and has never paid him since they started the Churchill show.
Speaking to Massawe Japanni on Radio Jambo, Eric said he gets his money from adverts and other deals.
Daniel Ndambuki alias Churchill criticised citing mistreatment from Laugh Industry Management, ending in depression that leads to comedians death.
Eric termed that nonsense of the highest order.
"Churchill has never called anyone to join the show. He always gives us a house to sell your craft," he said.
"Churchill has never paid me any coin. For three seasons, and I did not want the money, but by the time I was finishing the first season, I was already making millions. I got adverts and earned from that."
Other comedians said Eric got favours in the show.
"Churchill was the number-one show watched in Kenya, and so I used that platform to create my name."
He added that he is the one deemed to pay Churchill.
"I could not be known if he did not give me the platform to sell my name. He sold my name, and it is very unfair when I see comedians saying they are being used by Churchill. You are not being used, they are using Churchill."
Previously, some comedians claimed that they were paid only if their performance appeared on TV.
They claimed some comedians performed for months, but their shows never aired, throwing them into a pool of depression.
