Mbote Njogu dismisses death rumours after alarming claims spread online
By Steve Ireri, June 27, 2026Popular Kikuyu content creator and online personality Mbote Njogu has broken his silence after false reports claiming he had died began circulating on social media.
In a Facebook post on Friday, June 26, 2026, the creator reassured his followers that he is alive and well, dismissing the claims as baseless and accusing those behind them of chasing online traffic.
In his brief but direct message, Mbote Njogu said he had come across the rumours and was surprised to learn that some people were already claiming he was dead.
“Ati naskia nmekufa,” he wrote.
He immediately urged his followers not to believe the reports, insisting that the rumours were being spread by people seeking attention and online views.
“Ignore those rumours ni watu wanatafuta views,” he added.
Although Mbote Njogu did not disclose where the rumours originated or identify those responsible for spreading them, his post quickly attracted reactions from concerned fans who expressed relief after confirming that he was safe.
Odd job
Elsewhere, the content creator revealed that he once made a living transporting dead bodies to mortuaries while simultaneously beginning his journey into content creation.
Speaking in an interview shared by Tony Mwirigi on Friday, May 22, 2026, Mbote explained that he used to be called whenever someone died at home to transport the body from the scene to the mortuary, a job he says required mental strength and emotional discipline due to its nature.
“So I started doing content creation while still doing the job of transporting dead people. If a person died at home, their family would call me to drive the body to the mortuary,” Mbote said.
He noted that his transition into content creation happened during the same period, shortly after the rise of TikTok, which he began exploring slowly while still working in his day-to-day transport job.
According to him, there were moments when he would complete assignments transporting bodies and then use the waiting time to shoot casual videos as he tried to build an online presence.
“I remember while I was doing that job, that’s when TikTok had emerged, and I started doing content slowly. So you would find that maybe I had transported bodies to a place, and then I would wait for them to finish the process, and as I waited, that’s when I was doing random videos,” he shared.
Mbote clarified that despite his work involving transporting the deceased, he never filmed or created any content involving bodies inside the vehicle, emphasising that he maintained respect for the dignity of the deceased throughout his work.
“But I have never done any videos with dead bodies in the car. When you are carrying a dead body, you cannot even keep turning to check,” he said.
