Machachari Stars MaDVD and Sofia Clarify Dating Rumours on The Obinna Show

Former Machachari actors MaDVD and Sofia reunited on The Obinna Show on August 24, sparking nostalgia among fans of the popular Kenyan children’s series.

During the live interview, host Obinna addressed longstanding fan speculation about the possibility of MaDVD and Sofia dating off-screen. Sofia quickly dismissed the idea, stating she had never considered it, a sentiment MaDVD agreed with.

Adding humor to the exchange, Sofia remarked that MaDVD was not her type, prompting playful reactions and laughter between the two. Obinna jokingly referred to Sofia’s comment as calling MaDVD a "mamba," a Kenyan slang term for men perceived as less attractive.

Fans responded enthusiastically on social media, expressing surprise and fondness for the duo’s chemistry both on and off camera. Sofia portrayed a house help on the show, while MaDVD’s character was known for selling DVDs in the neighborhood, making their dynamic memorable to many viewers.

Discussion on Almasi's Online Backlash

In addition to addressing personal rumours, MaDVD spoke about the criticism faced by fellow Machachari alumnus Ian Nene, popularly known as Almasi. He highlighted how negative online comments about Almasi’s appearance and style have discouraged him from returning to Kenya. MaDVD urged Almasi to disregard the backlash and focus on his own journey.
