Vendée Confesses: I Blocked My Mother on Over Misunderstanding About Earnings

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.

Family Dynamics in the Digital Space

Vendée stated that both he and his mother were active on social media at the time, and their increased visibility contributed to shifting communication patterns.

He added that assumptions regarding influence and income affected how they interpreted each other’s actions on digital platforms.

The creator noted that it resulted from miscommunication rather than personal conflict. He said the issue was resolved after further conversations, leading to the restoration of normal communication between him and his mother.

Public Reaction

The interview drew varied reactions from online audiences. One viewer commented, “They keep comparing us to other more successful watoto wa majirani,” expressing the pressure that many young people face from family expectations.

Another user responded, “Absolutely right,” supporting Obinna’s sentiment about financial responsibility and understanding within families.

Additional reactions focused on the broader issue of how digital work is perceived, with many users discussing misunderstandings around content creation, visibility and income.

Some highlighted that similar situations occur in households where online careers are not fully understood.
