A 41-second clip from Wepesi’s recent appearance on the Obinna Show has sent X (formerly Twitter) into a frenzy. It's not about what was said, but what some viewers believe they saw.
User @Tevin_IsOmondi kicked off the chaos with a post claiming Wepesi is under a dark spell.
“Mshajua ‘bibi’ ya Wepesi ni ‘shosho’... Yeye ni wale wanaitwa ‘the queen mother,/devo.’ Wepesi is under a spell & price for that money is his youth, soul, spirit, bl00d," he alleged.

He went on to claim the two were “displaying satanic signs” during the show. This led to a flood of dramatic and often hilarious reactions online.
Online Reactions: From Nollywood to Demonic Styles
The comments quickly escalated, drawing comparisons to classic films and spiritual warnings.
Slim Toto? couldn’t help but compare the moment to Nigerian movies:
“Umefanya Nafikiria Zile Movie Za Nigeria Za Masheto… Mumama ndio anarecruit vijana ???”

@PaulSnr_ summed it up bluntly:
“Stylo cia goma” — Kikuyu slang roughly translating to “demonic styles.”
Then came the spiritual energy takes. @king_blakess chimed in:
“If you’re spiritually awakened am sure you can tell something is off about this lady. Energy never lie.”
Sarcasm vs. Conspiracy
However, not everyone was buying into the satanic hype. @TheQanesah offered a dose of sarcasm and reality, suggesting Kenyans are too quick to jump into conspiracy mode:
“These are just our kawaida hood druggies but wakenya ni nani... ooohhh satanism, ooohhhh illuminati... hata Mwepesi haezi oleka in peace.”
The Roots of Paranoia: Afro Sinema
A key reason for this recurring paranoia is Kenya’s deep-rooted "Afro Sinema" heritage. Generations grew up watching these movies which were often packed with occult rituals, mysterious old women, and blood sacrifices.
These tropes have stuck, shaping how many Kenyans interpret fame, power, and spiritual symbolism to this day.
Whether it's genuine concern or just classic Twitter madness, one thing is clear: if you sneeze in Nairobi, someone online will find a way to connect it to the occult.
As for Wepesi and his rumoured “queen mother,” neither has responded to the claims.
