You can polish a microphone all you want, but you simply cannot polish an internet comment section. Lilongwe-based host Luna MC learned this the hilarious, and slightly painful, way when his glorious, decade-in-the-making comeback story was swiftly hijacked by readers who essentially turned the comment section into a virtual breathalyzer.

Forced to swap his scripted MC banter for some brutal honesty, the 35-year-old has officially admitted that, yes, the rumors are entirely true.

The drama follows a June 17, 2026, Malawi24 feature story detailing his return to the entertainment scene.

As readers heavily fixated on Luna’s history with heavy drinking, the comment section quickly transformed into a courtroom of public opinion, prompting the MC to confront the narrative head-on.

Dropping the comedy and laying his cards on the table the day after the story broke, Luna, the Ex-Zodiak TV presenter, took to social media.

“I’ve been keenly following the comment section. Yes, I had a drinking problem, it really affected my life, family, and friends,” Luna wrote in a public post. “And these same people helped me through it, I managed to overcome it.”

Having weathered the storm of addiction, Luna’s transparency has since drawn commendation from neuro-health experts, who framed his victory over the bottle as a significant triumph over underlying mental health challenges.

Medical professionals have leveraged the MC’s testimony to underscore a crucial public health message, reminding those caught in similar cycles to seek professional help and find healthy alternatives to self-medication and substance abuse.

Despite the daunting specter of his past being thrust into the public eye, Luna’s honesty is paying immediate dividends for his future.

Amidst ongoing efforts to revitalize his brand, the MC told Malawi24 that the industry has responded with an overwhelming wave of support.

Rather than deterring potential clients, his vulnerability has endeared him to event organizers, with professional booking requests now flooding in like a sudden summer downpour.

For Luna MC, a decade of silence has finally given way to a promising new chapter, one defined not by the battles he lost, but by the one he has won.
