Kenyan comedian Mulamwah is facing backlash from some of his followers who accuse him of glorifying poverty for attention.
This comes after the Milele FM presenter shared photos and videos of himself and his partner, Ruth K, in a traditional mud house with two beds placed side by side.
The setting included an old-generation TV positioned on a weathered table, and parts of a speaker placed on a yellow jerrycan, creating an ambience of impoverished living conditions.
The photos and the ‘house tour’ video were posted on X media and Instagram.
“Leo tumeingia home mapema ju ya fisi” (Today we arrived home early because of hyenas).
“Kutulia tu maskan 🤣🤣🤣 maisha london ! cool kids cant relate – full house tour of our multi-hundred Kitale villa on YouTube kwa channel ya bestie,” he captioned a video of the same.
Netizens came in hot condemning the comedian, accusing him of acting poor to impress Kenyans.
“Unapenda kuglorify poverty,” a follower replied.
“Pole tajiri , sasa nipost ndege na sina?” Mulamwah responded.
“Acha kuglorify poverty.Unafanya watu waone Luhya kids hata wamake it in Life hawaezi change their way of life na look. Create International content bana you’re an International person buana,” another X user told Mulamwah.
“Poleni matajiri, hatutawachafulia twitter yenu tena na umaskini yetu,” Mulamwah said.
