The Butita “Tea” is Boiling: From “State-Sponsored” Movies to Celeste’s Frontal Lobe Drama

The streets of Nairobi are talking, and this time, the “gist” is hitting Eddie Butita from every angle. The comedian and scriptwriter, who has been trying to pivot into a film mogul with his ambitious Slate 100 project, is currently dodging a hail of anonymous NGL bullets. From allegations of being a “government project” to messy claims about his Gen Z partner, Celeste, the timeline is officially in a frenzy.

Is Slate 100 a Government Project? The Itumbi Connection

The biggest “banger” currently making rounds is the claim that Butita’s massive plan to produce 100 Kenyan films isn’t just private enterprise—it’s allegedly “state-sponsored.” Anonymous tipsters are claiming that the funding for Slate 100 is being funneled through Dennis Itumbi using the Ministry of Sports budget.

While Butita has been vocal about creating a “Showmax alternative” for Kenya, critics aren’t buying the “self-made” narrative. There are even whispers that he “quietly bought a house in February” following his high-profile trips with the President. Whether it’s actual evidence or just “hater behavior,” the link between Butita’s sudden scaling and his proximity to the Hustler Nation power players has Kenyans asking: who is really signing the checks?

Celeste and the “Frontal Lobe” Chronicles

If the political rumors weren’t enough, Butita’s romantic life is also under a microscope. His relationship with his Gen Z partner, Celeste, is being dragged through the mud by anonymous “well-wishers.” One viral NGL message savagely claimed that “her frontal lobe hasn’t even developed,” suggesting she’s being played by a man in his 30s who is more interested in being a “baby daddy” than a husband.

The drama doesn’t stop at age gaps, though. Allegations have surfaced claiming Celeste is allegedly “cheating on Butita with a Home 254 guy.” The narrative being pushed is that she’s only in it for the fame, while Butita is being warned to “stay woke.” Between the “clout-chasing” accusations and the “baby mama” predictions, it seems the honeymoon phase is being hit by a heavy dose of “street-certified” tea.
