In her announcement, Nadia expressed her excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to join one of Kenya's biggest radio stations.

Reflecting on her new role, she shared, "Today, I get to do something super SUPA DUPA special, I get to be part of one of the biggest stations in the country. A huge leap for me in my quest to giggle with every single Kenyan."

In addition to her stint at X FM, Nadia has also worked with Capital FM between 2021 and 2023. Her return to radio is highly anticipated by her fans and colleagues alike.

"It's official! I'm joining the Classic 105 drive show with my old friend Mike Mondo. Looks like the XFM gang is back together!" she exclaimed on her Instagram page, signalling a promising reunion for fans of their previous collaborations.
