Ugandan TikTok star Brennan Baby speaks after relocating to Kenya for university
By Steve Ireri, September 12, 2025Ugandan TikTok sensation Brennan Baby has officially settled in Kenya to pursue higher education, marking the beginning of a new chapter in both his academic and content creation journey.
The young creator, who has been steadily rising to fame on TikTok, spoke for the first time since his relocation and shared his impressions of Nairobi, his thoughts on relationships, and his outlook on love.
Speaking to podcaster Volvexzshawa on Friday, September 12, 2025, Brennan said that while he would not necessarily describe Nairobi as the capital city of Africa, as some often call it, he has found it to be a really pleasant place.
He explained that the environment and overall atmosphere struck him as welcoming, making his transition smoother as he embarks on his studies.
“On Nairobi being called the capital city of Africa: I would not say I see it as the capital city of Africa as such, but to be honest, it is a really nice place, the environment and everything,” Brennan said.
Love or trust
The TikTok star also weighed in on matters of love and trust, noting that trust holds more weight for him than love in a relationship.
He explained that he finds it meaningless to claim love without trust, insisting that even where love exists, it cannot flourish if trust is absent.
“I would say trust, because I find it meaningless to love someone without trust. Even if the love is there, I do not see how you can thrive to love each other without trust.”
On the ever-debated issue of couples contributing equally in relationships, Brennan shared that he supports the idea of 50-50 partnerships.
He emphasised that both the man and the woman should ideally contribute equally, calling it the essence of true love.
However, he acknowledged that this balance can only be realistic if the financial standing of both partners is similar.
“My take on 50-50 in relationships, I would say that is the way to go, because that is what love is for. Yes, a 50 per cent contribution from the woman and 50 per cent from the man is the way to go. Definitely, that is it,” he said.
In cases where one partner earns significantly more, he said, the contribution should then depend on the one with greater financial capability.
“But I feel also it hinges on whether the financial standing of the couple is similar, because you will also find a relationship where the man has way more money than the woman, and in that case it would have to depend on the one who has more,” Brennan added.
