Eric Omondi promised to take responsibility for an unborn child, then Jacque Maribe flew in with receipts

The tickler claimed that he met his soon-to-be baby mom, Miss P, a rising musician, during an event he was hosting in the country, and that things went down from there.

"I met this Beautiful Woman 5 months ago in an event I was hosting," Omondi captioned on Instagram photo in which he was cradling a pregnant-looking Miss P. 

Everyone took the pregnancy news with a grain of salt, having been bitten one too many times to not be shy anymore. 

The entire post screamed 'clout chase' and everyone assumed it was just rollout for a new project by the comedian. Or is it? 

Buuut, hold your horses. 

Jackie Maribe, a former TV star who has a 7-year-old son with the comedian, was not amused by the remark and expressed her displeasure on Instagram, claiming that the comedian is an absent dad.

"Responsibility? @catewamaribe come I can't speak 😂😂😂 7 years of responsibility," Ms Maribe wrote,  apparently questioning the comedian's promise to his unborn child. 

The comment attracted over 1225 likes within two hours.  And over 283 replies, inadvertently starting off the troll-train. 

 "You  mean Ericomondi huyu na maringo yote na kuonyesha title deeds na pesa mtandao ni deadbeat pro max? Binz Chic posed. 

"Kuwa Ex wa Erick is so disturbing😢 imagine waking up everyday to such stufs😢😢so heartbreaking," another user @princessmarysheim said. 

Others were quick to point out that the comedian, who has a knack of sharing photos of his child with the TV girl, was only interested in the attention. 

"Na si ni Juzi tu nilona amewapost ati 'My people '.Kumbeni deadbeat just doing it for the gram?" Macie_Riziki wrote. 

And there was even a dose of those wash-wash jokes,  with Mum_neelam writing: umesema huyu ni ngamwaya ngavanish 😂😂😂"

While a different user,  Evallyhoodmusic, acknowledged, the rather violent morning, commenting: o 'V' kwa noVember umesema ni ya Vayolence 😂 😂 😂.

In early January, Ms Maribe set the record straight on her relationship with the comedian, telling a local news outlet that their relationship is purely on parental basis and she has no plans whatsoever of getting back together with him.

“Yes. To all the questions on call and my messages and DM's. Ati ‘are you back with Eric and are you upset with Eric?’ I do have a child with @ericomondi and we love him to the end of the world. We speak a lot, for hours,” she wrote.
