Maina Kageni is one of the Kenyans who have remained as interesting as ever in the eyes of the public. The man is a heavy Red Devil fan and a football lover. He is currently the host of the breakfast show on Mwalimu King’ang’i on Nairobi’s Classic 105 radio station.
Questions have kept popping up about the man from the serious stuff like his bio and family life to the very simple stuff like his cars and salary. Here are some basic things you need to know about Maina Kageni:
Maina Kageni Bio
It was June 29, 1974 when Maina was born. The Classic 105 FM man began his primary education at Westlands Primary School. From here he did his high school education at Laser Hill Academy.
After completing his secondary education, he was sent to the UK to further his academic pursuit. However, he unknowingly decided against his family not to pursue a college degree. Instead, the man found various jobs, including one with a Chinese company where he worked as a driver. When his mother graduated, she found that her son hadn’t even started school.
Just when his mother thought he had failed in life, Kageni was not going to college and would rather let him stay in the UK than return home. She returned to Kenya and got a job at Radio Africa. So he could rise to where he is today.
daughter, marriage, wife, is he gay?
One of the questions that keeps coming up is whether Maina Kageni is gay or not. This is because the man, despite being in his 40s, has not been seriously linked to a woman.
There was a list drawn that allegedly had his name among other Kenyan celebrities perceived to be gay. The radio star probably didn’t take it up since, as it later turns out, he’s not gay.
Probably because he is a man who has claimed his life outside of the public eye, there have been many rumors about him. Another reason is that he is married and more rumors about his marriage and wife. In 2015, he posted a picture of himself and a woman with two children on social media, and because of this, many people quickly assumed that the woman was his wife while the children were his children. Surprisingly, neither the lady nor the children are heard from anymore.
Something else that many people have been asking about is on Maina Kageni’s daughter. What is very puzzling about this question is that no one knows how it started because no one has ever claimed to be carrying the funk personality’s daughter or anything like that.
The only thing revealed about his relationship is that he once dated a woman named Ann and she was his first lover.
salary, cars and wealth
Kageni is not only a radio personality but also many things rolled into one as he believes so much in investments. While owning real estate in various parts of the world, the man was also a car dealer as well as having other investments.
Looking at what he earns as salary each month, there are some reports that Maina Kageni goes home with 1.2 to 1.8 million Sh.
The man’s entire net worth is currently unknown but with his rich salary, cars, real estate and investment, no decent amount than his net worth will come as a total surprise.
