Kenyan comedian and content creator Chebet Ronoh has shared her unfiltered account of dating an old guy commonly referred to as a 'Mubaba'.

Chebet opened up about the challenges of dating a sugar daddy, saying that it was not as easy as some people may think. She expressed her discomfort in giving "sugar" to a man who was old enough to be her grandfather. 

"You guys consistently sleep on the girls having sugar daddies and it’s not easy. Let me tell you why. It’s not easy! It’s not easy to give sugar to a corpse."


Ronoh shared how hard it was going to a restaurant with the 'Mubaba', eating together and the stares she got from waiters and waitresses. She felt judged by people who were looking at her as if they had made a conclusion of her choice of life.

Having a conversation with the man was not easy too and according to her, it felt as if it was a job interview since he was asking too many questions. She compared the experience to filling out governmental forms.

The most awkward part of the date came when it was time to give the "sugar" to the man. Chebet mimicked the old man's lips and said she couldn't do it. She leaned back to avoid him and said, "no, no, no."

"I’m never doing this again. It needs a different confidence and delusion and I’m not there right now, I can’t."
