“Hiyo gossip ilifanya nikuwe interested juu sasa nashanga nitapigiaje mmoja wao niwaulize, ni mwisilamu mgani anafa kunipea hio Ksh2 million, labda kuna mtu amepewa pesa yangu na anataka kuniosha,” he added.

Jaymo on gossipers
This comes days after he created a space for his online critics to dump their toxicity.
Taking to his Instagram account on Sunday, January 4, 2025, Jaymo shared a photo of himself standing next to a suggestion box, explaining that it was a space for his online critics to dump toxic comments instead of cluttering his main comment section.
“Nimewatengenezea Kabox ka kudump Toxicity badala ya Comments Section,” Jaymo wrote.
Message to critics
In the video directed to his critics, he said gossiping had become a serious business that requires accountability, especially in an era where information spreads fast.
Jaymo argued that people who share stories about others often act as if they have “high-level intelligence” and reliable sources, yet they rarely take responsibility when their claims turn out to be false.
“Unajua gossipers, eh, need to be held accountable,” he said.
According to Jaymo, anyone who gives out stories about people’s lives should be ready to stand by them or publicly explain when things go wrong.
“You need to come out strongly so that your reputation as a serial gossiper ibaki ikiwa juu,” he said, adding humorously that one can say their sources were compromised or even that they were “scammed by the devil,”he noted.
“With accountability as a gossiper, you come out as a brand.”
