Malby calls out online bullying after Andrew Kibe’s remarks about Stevo Simple Boy
30th June, 2026 12:37 PM
Kenyan content creator Malby has spoken out against online bullying, saying it is time for Kenyans to stop celebrating content that humiliates other people for entertainment.
In a statement shared on his Instagram page on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, Malby questioned why individuals who repeatedly target others online continue to receive support despite the emotional impact their remarks can have on those involved.
His comments come after content creator Andrew Kibe sparked debate by suggesting that people like rapper Stevo Simple Boy should not have children. The remarks attracted widespread criticism online, with many social media users describing them as insensitive.
Calls for accountability online
Reacting to the incident, Malby said online bullying should not be normalised simply because it attracts large audiences or high engagement on social media.
He argued that people who constantly build their platforms by attacking others should be held accountable instead of being rewarded with attention.
“We need to stop giving bullies the microphone,” he said.
Malby further suggested that Kenya should embrace a culture where harmful behaviour online is rejected instead of celebrated.
According to him, the people being mocked are often left dealing with emotional pain long after the online conversations have ended.
“Kenya needs to start cancelling culture because we are so used to entertaining people who drag others online. And the person we are laughing at is left with deep mental health battles,” he added.

Malby also pointed to Andrew Kibe’s previous controversial statements, saying similar comments should have attracted stronger public criticism much earlier.
He argued that repeatedly attacking women and other public figures had become part of Kibe’s online content, making such remarks appear acceptable to others.
“We’d have cancelled Andrew Kibe long ago when his mindset of content was dragging women down. And this is also why we have foreigners who get so comfortable using our digital spaces to bully our creators,” he said.
He also questioned whether social media popularity should ever come before someone’s mental well-being.
Stevo Simple Boy defended his family
Malby’s statement follows Stevo Simple Boy’s response to Andrew Kibe’s comments about parenthood.
Through his Instagram page, the rapper defended his child and urged Kibe to keep their disagreement between adults.
“Andrew Kibe, if you have a problem with me, talk about me. But do not involve my child, who has done nothing wrong,” Stevo wrote.
The musician added that he had never chosen the circumstances of his birth but had chosen to work hard, live respectfully and build a family. He also reminded his followers that every child deserves love and respect regardless of their parents or appearance.
Kibe no stranger to controversy
Andrew Kibe has previously attracted criticism over several remarks shared on his online platforms.
Among his statements were comments suggesting that many married men only pretend to be happy, as well as his claim that he does not employ women because he believes their primary role is to raise children.
His latest remarks about Stevo Simple Boy have once again sparked debate online, with many creators now using the conversation to call for greater responsibility and respect in Kenya’s digital spaces.
