Kibe was reportedly sued by his friend Joshua Weru after he allegedly failed to pay a Sh. 215,000 loan that he took on February 28, 2012.
In the agreement, the presenter is said to have agreed to repay the amount with an interest of Sh. 55,000 within 18 days. He allegedly failed to do so, forcing Weru to head to court in 2018. Weru, in the June suit, demanded that Kibe must repay the money- including accrued interest, plus additional penalties for exceeding the set date and the cost of the lawsuit.
After his release, Kibe appeared non-apologetic, saying that having debts is not a bad thing after all.

You guys let me tell you how petty some people can be, even before we’ve seen the judge, the story is already out, mko chap chap sana,” he said. “I pray that you treat your friends with leniency because ile mbio nimepelekwa my friend by somebody who I thought was my friend! Nimeoneshwa maneno so please treat your friends with leniency hata kama mtu ako na deni yako.”
