Celebrity chef Dennis Ombachi has taken shots at car dealer Khalif Kairo, reviving an old feud amid Kairo’s ongoing fraud case.
Ombachi responded to a 2024 tweet from Kairo, where Kairo mocked him, calling him a “washed-up rugby star” and claiming he spent his days “impressing his wife, washing dishes, and begging for an allowance increase.”
In a sharp comeback on X, Ombachi wrote, “There is no pain like being vomited out na dame anajua kupika, especially when you can’t afford to eat out anymore. Una pika chakula yako kuonja unaanza ku miss jela. You can come eat and help me do the dishes, feeding the needy has been my calling."

Ombachi also fired back at another past tweet from Kairo, where Kairo mocked him for allegedly being “kept” by his Caucasian wife. Ombachi replied with a side-by-side photo of himself and Kairo, captioned:
"Misuli bado ziko, kuja ntakulipia gym I mentor you ??"

In another jab, Ombachi posted photos of his rugby achievements next to Kairo’s photo in court, writing:
"Someone play Kendrick Lamar ‘Not Like Us.’"

When an X user, Wekesa, advised Ombachi not to celebrate another man's downfall, Ombachi shot back:
"He was never up, mtaoshwa tu tena."
This online spat comes as Kairo, whose real name is Joseph Kairo Wambui, faces fraud charges in court. He is accused of defrauding clients of KSh 2.1 million and KSh 2.9 million.
The feud between the two dates back to October 2024, when Ombachi criticised a popular X account, "Soko Analyst," for spreading false information. Kairo chimed in, telling Ombachi to “stick to cooking” and focus on making money instead of chasing “Twitter clout.”
Ombachi fired back, accusing Kairo of being a “deadbeat dad” and a “serial tax cheat,” tweeting:
"I don’t have time for you. Stop evading your kid like you’re evading taxes."
Kairo retaliated by mocking Ombachi’s achievements, claiming the chef had nothing to show for his life apart from Instagram fame and alleging he was financially dependent on his wife.
As Kairo battles legal issues, it seems Ombachi is not done throwing shade.
