US Comedian and TV Host Steve Harvey Seeks to Meet Kenyan Artist Who Drew His Portrait
Celebrated American comedian and TV host Steve Harvey has sought to meet a Kenyan man who made a magnificent pencil portrait of him.
This came after the artist identified as Collins Omondi Okello posted the portrait on Twitter on Sunday and requested Harvey to buy it.
“Pencil drawing of @IAmSteveHarvey. Will be a real boost to my hustle if you have this in your gallery. Waiting with bated breath🙏🙏🙏,” Omondi tweeted.
Harvey responded directly to Omondi, saying he was impressed by the artwork and would be honored to acquire it. He then asked whether he could meet him during his upcoming trip to South Africa and Botswana.
“Now I’m looking for you it would be my honor to have this .... what size is it and I’ll be in Joburgh and Botswana soon let’s hook up then,” wrote Harvey.
“Everyone has a God-given gift. This is what following your gift looks like, just incredible.”
Omondi has previously done pencil portraits of US film director Tyler Perry, South Sudanese President Salva Kiir, and President Uhuru.
Following Harvey’s request to meet him, Kenyan tours company Bonfire Adventures offered to facilitate his trip to South Africa to meet the TV host.

God work's and very mysterious ways God bless the artist and may God continue blessing Steve Harvey for I had been following him and had known him from Showtime at the Apollo days and he was a great awesome man then just as he is now 👍🖤😇
I would like to travel to Africa. Could you please make it happen for me. I've been wanting to visit the Mother land for some time now but financially could not afford it. Thank you for making this happen for me sir.
Sincerely.

Who are you asking? Be very careful, you can easily be used as a drug mule. You just have to save your money and make your dream come true like the rest of us.
If that's not an option, stay put.
@ your name, my guess is that she is asking whomever is funding Omondi's trip.And that would be Bonefire,,, Dont you think? Couldnt have directed the request to Steve. I highly doubt that he even knows Mwakilishi exists...
