But this was not to be as Desmond Otieno, popularly known to his fans as Wamama, the King of Kilimani Mums was told his teeth were not suitable for the position and he was delegated to washing toilets for a net salary of 10000 Kenyan shillings.
Lonely nights made social media his companion. He began uploading videos of his well-loved dance moves on Facebook and became an overnight sensation.
