Kenyan content creator Vendée has revealed that he once blocked his mother on social media after believing she was earning significant income as a content creator.

The disclosure was made during an interview with media personality Oga Obinna and has since generated conversation across online platforms about family interactions within the digital space.

During the interview, Vendée explained that his decision to block his mother stemmed from a misunderstanding about her involvement in content creation.

He said he had assumed that she was making substantial earnings, which led to tension and uncertainty in their communication.

In response, Obinna told him, “Your parents are not your responsibility. If you have, you will send. If you don’t, they should understand.”

The exchange became a focal point of the discussion as viewers reflected on the expectations placed on young adults who appear successful online.
