KENNEDY RAPUDO defends wife AMBER RAY’s controversial nightlife gigs - “When I met her she was hosting, that was her job”
Tuesday, April 21, 2026 - Businessman Kennedy Rapudo has come out strongly in defense of his wife, Amber Ray, amid ongoing online debate about her work as a club host. Speaking during an interview on Tuesday, April 21st, 2026, Rapudo dismissed the criticism, insisting that hosting is a legitimate and well‑paying job that is often misunderstood. Rapudo revealed that Amber was already working as a host when they met, and he saw no reason to question or change her career. “When I met Amber, she was hosting. That was her job,” he said, explaining that the role involves appearing at events, interacting with guests and creating a lively atmosphere. He emphasized that club hosting is time‑bound and professional, with hosts booked for short appearances and paid well. “She goes there, stays for a short time, interacts with people, and leaves. That is a job,” he added. Rapudo further disclosed that Amber Ray is among the highest‑paid club hosts in Kenya, thanks to her popularity and influence in nightlife circles. He questioned the double standards directed at female entertainers, noting that similar lifestyle choices are celebrated abroad but unfairly judged locally. Comparing Amber’s career to global celebrities, Rapudo argued that public figures should be allowed to thrive without interference. He described Amber as a businesswoman who collaborates with diverse clients and industries, insisting that she should not be reduced to stereotypes. Rapudo concluded by affirming his unwavering support. “Amber was already established before our relationship.” “My role is not to change her, but to support her as long as she is not doing anything wrong.” The Kenyan DAILY POST
