In a remarkable moment that has lit up social media and football fan circles across Kenya, popular Manchester United fanatic and content creator Kevin Masagara stunned listeners and viewers by turning down a KSh 1 million salary offer to abandon his life as a United supporter and stop making Manchester United content.
Masagara — widely known for his infectious passion for Man U, his humorous and relatable videos, and his massive following on TikTok and Instagram — appeared as a guest on Milele FM recently.
During the interview he was asked about an offer made to him by an unnamed organisation, which reportedly wanted to pay him sizeable money on condition that he stopped posting or talking about Manchester United.
The reaction from Masagara was unmistakable: he categorically refused the deal.
Exact Words From the Interview
Responding to the proposal, Masagara said,
“Aaah! Siwezi... Mimi Manchester naipenda saana hii ndio inanilea hii Nairobi.” — which in English roughly means, *“Ah! I can’t… I love Manchester so much, this is what’s feeding me here in Nairobi.”

This brought laughter and applause from the studio audience and the hosts, but also underscored just how deeply his support for the English club runs — beyond money, beyond fame, and tied to his own identity and livelihood.
A Loyal Fan Before Anything Else
Kevin Masagara is not just another casual supporter.
On social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, he has amassed more than 1 million followers who tune in to watch his reactions to United’s matches, his bold opinions on transfers and managers, and his personal commentary on the club’s performance in the Premier League and Europe.
His content blends humour, raw emotion and a kind of personal devotion that many supporters around the world recognise.
This authenticity is part of what has helped him grow such a large audience.
When Manchester United wins, Kevin celebrates with unreserved joy.
When they lose, he shares frustration and heartbreak that reflects the feelings of supporters around the globe.
For many fans, his refusal to accept the million‑shilling deal was inspirational — proof that passion and personal pride can outweigh even very large financial incentives.
Why the Offer Was So Significant
In a world where influencers, content creators and personalities often monetise their platforms through brand deals, sponsorships and exclusive arrangements, turning down a 1 million shilling salary is almost unheard of — especially when the terms would have required him to step away from the very content that built his platform.
By rejecting such an amount, Masagara sent a strong message: for him, supporting Manchester United is not just a brand or a business — it’s a way of life.
Reaction on Social Media
Fans and followers quickly took to platforms like TikTok, Instagram and X to applaud Kevin’s stance. Many dubbed him the “true Red Devil”, praising his refusal to “sell out” for money.
Others compared him to legacy fans who stand by their clubs through thick and thin — something many long‑time supporters of football clubs around the world can relate to.
What This Means for Future Content
In rejecting the offer, Kevin reaffirmed his commitment to continuing to produce Manchester United‑centric content — reactions, match analyses, meme‑style humour and fan conversations remain at the heart of his output.
He also hinted during the interview that the experience has only made him more determined to grow his brand, and that he believes he can achieve even more through his own channels rather than by conforming to conditions set by others.
For Masagara, the message is clear:
“My love for Manchester United is not for sale.”
