Masekete dismisses beef with Justus Myello after viral video
By William Muthama, November 10, 2025Kamba gospel musician Jackson Mutinda, popularly known as Masekete, has broken his silence following a viral video that fuelled rumours of a fallout with fellow gospel musician Justus Myello.
Speaking on Sunday, November 9, 2025, on his TikTok, Masekete said the clip was misunderstood, clarifying that he was not referring to the real Myello but to fake accounts impersonating him.
“In that live session, I saw about five different accounts using the name Myello. I blocked them all because I didn’t know which one was real. People should understand that I was reacting to fake accounts, not the real Myello,” he explained.
Denies any rift
During the viral clip, Masekete appeared to refuse to give “Myello” a chance to speak on his TikTok live, telling the account owner to “go and open your own live.” This sparked speculation online that the two musicians had a falling out.
Masekete clarified that his reaction was aimed at the impersonators who had joined his livestream, not at Myello.
“I wasn’t referring to the real Myello. He is my real best friend, a close brother, and a pillar in my ministry,” he emphasised.
Appreciates Myello’s support
Masekete dismissed talk of any fallout, describing Myello as his “real best friend, close brother, and a pillar” in his ministry. He praised the singer for standing by him during tough times in his music journey.
“Myello has played a huge role in my singing career. When I wasn’t making much from my Skiza tunes, he was there to support me. He has been a blessing in my ministry, and I truly appreciate him,” said Masekete.
He further urged fans not to take the viral video seriously, insisting that it had been taken out of context. “People should not believe everything they see online. That message was never meant for the real Myello,” he added.
