Obinna kicked off the banter by accusing Ofweneke of bad-mouthing him, after which he summoned his towering bodyguard to theatrically carry the host off stage.
Moments later, Ofweneke returned to the stage and, to everyone's shock, splashed the water on Obinna mid-show.
“Hio mpango mnapanga hapa na bouncer wako, hamtafanya hapa kwa show yangu,” Ofweneke said with a cheeky laugh.
However, the joke did not land well. The mood shifted instantly as Obinna took off his stylish glasses and called out Ofweneke.
“Chief, sit down. Ofweneke, this is disrespectful. You can't just sprinkle water on me. You’re my brother, but this is wrong. It’s either you say sorry, ama uendelee na interview yako. Which one do you prefer?” he said sternly.
Despite the tension, Ofweneke appeared to still think it was part of the banter and refused to apologise.
This prompted Obinna to officially end his appearance on the show.
“It has been an honour to come to the show, but as you can see, Ofweneke amenimwagia maji. I am actually really offended. That is childish of you. You could do better,” Obinna said before standing up to leave.
Ofweneke remained unapologetic, even instructing his crew to bring more water, joking that he would splash Obinna again.
“From bro to bro, what you’ve done is not good. Stop dismissing it like it’s a minor thing. It’s a major thing. It’s disrespectful. At least own up,” Obinna added as he exited the studio with his bodyguard.
