Priscilla wa Imani speaks for first time after rejection at Kaluma Boy’s event
During the highly publicised fundraiser for Kaluma Boy’s father in Othaya, which drew thousands of TikTokers on Sunday, September 28, 2025, social media sensation Priscilla wa Imani had taken the stage as the lead master of ceremonies.
However, midway through the event, the crowd began chanting for their preferred host, MC Chris, forcing Priscilla to surrender the microphone in what became one of the most dramatic moments of the day.

Speaking for the first time since the incident on Thursday, October 2, 2025, Priscilla admitted that the rejection was tied to the shifting political and social consciousness among Gen Zs.
She said the youth have become increasingly vocal against politicians and are reshaping public gatherings into platforms of accountability.
According to her, this growing boldness explains why the crowd insisted on their own choice of host rather than accepting her presence as the main MC.
“At this point, we as Kenyans are simply flowing with the script of Generation Zs. When they say something about me, like asking me to hand over the microphone, I just oblige,” she said.
Priscilla noted that the rejection was not personal but rather a reflection of the spirit driving young people today.
She acknowledged that Gen Zs are rewriting the rules of public participation, and even she has chosen to adapt to their demands when they insist on a certain direction.
She said that when the youth asked her to hand over the microphone to MC Chris, she complied without resistance because she understood the moment belonged to them.
“That is why when they demanded I give the mic to MC Chris during Kaluma Boy’s father’s fundraiser, I did so immediately,” she added.
She further observed that Gen Zs are rising up strongly against traditional politics, where leaders often rely on handouts such as reflector jackets or one thousand shilling gifts to sway voters.
She urged the youth that while they continue pushing back against poor leadership, they must also place equal focus on registering as voters to transform their activism into long-term change.
“Now, because of how Generation Zs are rising up against politicians, I wonder what will happen to leaders who have always relied on convincing voters with reflector jackets and one thousand shilling handouts. But I want to urge Generation Zs that even as we speak about toppling bad politics, we should also focus on registering as voters,” she said.
Priscillah also revealed that the energy Gen Zs displayed in Othaya is spreading to other parts of the country.
She pointed out that there are already discussions about rallying support for another Embu-based TikToker, Mama Gift, whose mother is battling a severe eye condition resembling cancer.
According to her, the same outpouring of solidarity witnessed with Kaluma Boy could soon extend to other struggling families.
“For example, after Generation Zs came out in large numbers to support Kenyans facing difficulties, I have now heard of good plans to visit another Embu TikToker called Mama Gift, whose mother suffers from a very swollen eye that looks like cancer. I hear Generation Zs are planning for us Kenyans to go there and support them just like we did with Kaluma Boy,” Priscillah said.
