In an interview with fellow comedian MCA Tricky on her YouTube channel, Nyce revealed that she had to beg someone for Ksh 200 bob to feed her 9-year-old daughter as things got really tough for her.
“I won’t lie, there was a time we almost went hungry. I would call a friend and ask for 200 only.
We don’t talk about such things because sometimes you feel like you are embarrassing yourself for asking for help.
But when you have a baby, they have to eat so you have to put your pride aside and ask for help,” said Nyce Wanjeri.
