Kevin Mulei’s NRG Radio Complies With Kipchoge’s Demands
Kevin Mulei’s NRG Radio station has changed it’s name from the Kipchoge radio minutes after the embattled station was served with demand letter by World Marathon Record holder’s Lawyer Donald Kipkorir.
Last week, Kevin Mulei’s owned station NRG Radio announced that they will be rebranded to Kipchoge Radio for whole of this week.
“NRG Radio, based in Nairobi which covers two-thirds of Kenya, will change its name to Kipchoge Radio from Monday, in celebration of the world-beating achievement of 1 hour 59 minutes and 40 seconds in the INEOS Challenge held in the weekend,” read the statement in part.
“As the number one youth radio station in Kenya, we are continuously challenging our young people to achieve their ultimate and there is no better time to remind them that no human is limited than now.” NRG Announced.
NRG had changed their top line to KipchogeRadio
Earlier today, Kipchoge, through lawyer Donald B. Kipkorir, demanded that Mulei’s radio pulls down his name, images and references from all its social media and online platforms within two hours. This is after the station rebranded itself to ‘Kipchoge Radio’. This apparently was done without Kipchoge’s knowledge or consent.

The troubled station has since pulled down Kipchoge’s name and replaced it with Mashujaa radio.

This move has attracted massive mixed reactions from Kenyans on Twitter and here are sampled tweets of their say on the matter.

NRG Radio did a stupid thing but they don't deserve all that English. Just tell them toeni hiyo jina kubwa ya Kipchoge kwa hiyo radio ndogo ama nitawapeleka mbio kotini. Do they even have the mental capacity to understand the letter or the quantum of their egregious behaviour??
