Arbantone artist and content creator VJ Patelo has issued a bold warning. He's speaking directly to the online trolls he claims have been "throwing shade" since his wedding went viral.

Stanley alias Patelo, shared an unfiltered video on Thursday, 31st July. In it, he addressed what he sees as unwarranted bitterness from strangers who just can't stomach his newfound spotlight.

"Blame Us if You Must"

“Blame us if you must, but you will keep watching us elevate,”

Patelo declared in the clip. He made it perfectly clear that he and his wife won't be dimming their joy just to make critics feel comfortable.

“You will strain your eyes looking at what we are posting… and you will feel bad.”

The Wedding That Sparked the Storm

Patelo's wedding gained widespread attention across various platforms. It was praised for its genuine charm and strong representation of Arbantone culture. However, it also sparked nasty online jabs, particularly about Patelo’s bride.

These are the comments the content creator seemed to address indirectly in his no-nonsense message.

Mixed Reactions, Unfazed Response

Reactions to the video have been mixed. Some users stood firmly behind him, offering support. Others, however, doubled down on the trolling.

-A top-liked comment by @Its-Dundaa poked fun at Patelo’s wife: "Ni mrembo ni vile alizaliwa mapema ??" (She's beautiful, she was just born early).

-Another, by @THE FROZEN GIANT, defended Patelo: "Ata miwa mzee ndio tamu. Huyo mamaa nvile alizaliwa mapema kidogo ako sawa." (Even old sugarcane is sweet. That woman is fine, she was just born a bit early).

-Still, @son of Ann kept it ruthless: "Unakula shosho na unabweka." (You're eating an old woman and you're barking/complaining).

Despite the ongoing controversy, Patelo appears completely unfazed. Turning what some saw as mockery into a moment of momentum for himself.
