Comedian Terrence Creative, on his part, recalled the support he got from Fred when he was starting in the industry.
“TODAY AT 6AM IVE RECEIVED THE SADDEST CALL EVER ??Inauma saana…… Fred, I thank God for the time He gave us together bro, you’ve been part of my career and growth in the industry, you always treated me as a brother and hosted me when I had nowhere to go, gave me a stage and paid me, together we started club comedy shows, I will always treasure the moment we shared the stage together from Tribeka, Taj Mall, Hearts, I club etc till we got to Churchill show and then to hosting our first Tv show together: Ktn Crazy Comedy. Together we suffered, together we learned and together we inspired, made people laugh and created great memories.
"All this I will treasure and hold dearly, Freddy ulikuwa muungwaana ,i have a lot to say about you but all i can say bro is that you did well and you shall be remembered and missed, Go well bro.
Mammito described the late Omondi as a kind man who did not hesitate to share opportunities with fellow comedians and always pushed her to be her best version.
"As a young comic, you gave me so many club shows and when I was nervous because I was performing after ladies had twerked vigorously you encouraged me to go on stage and do my thang !!!! That gave me the balls I have today! I’ll miss you bro ! RIP.
