Kenyan comedian and digital creator Mulamwah recently discussed why some celebrities choose not to assist fans financially, despite receiving frequent requests on social media.
The comedian shared his thoughts after a fan questioned why celebrities often appear unwilling to support struggling followers.
“Why is it so hard for celebrities to help people who are still struggling?” the fan asked.

Celebrities Also Face Personal Struggles

According to Mulamwah, fame does not automatically mean financial stability or peace of mind.
“Sometimes celebs have their own struggles too, mental, financial, etc.,” he wrote.
He also mentioned that some fans reach out primarily for financial support, which can complicate interactions.
Mulamwah added that some celebrities have previously fallen victim to scams by people posing as desperate online.
“Some fans are con artists pretending to be in situations that they are not,” he explained.
Referencing rapper Khaligraph Jones, Mulamwah quoted a popular saying associated with the rapper:
“Ukipost Fally Ipupa DM Fally Ipupa. Ukipost Mulamwah DM Mulamwah. Vuna mahali unapanda.”

Fans Divided Over Mulamwah’s Remarks

His comments quickly sparked online reactions, with some agreeing with his views while others criticised Kenyan celebrities.
Several users defended Mulamwah, saying celebrities are not obligated to solve people’s financial problems.
“He’s right. Those are five valid reasons,” one user commented.
“Nobody owes you anything kwa hii dunia,” another added.
Others, however, questioned whether Kenyan celebrities are truly wealthy offline.
“These Kenyan celebrities are just rich online. Kwa ground wahala,” one fan joked.
Another user wrote:
“Lakini ikifika kwa paybill is where they recognise fans.”
Some reactions also shifted toward national politics, with users bringing up the ongoing debate around the Finance Bill 2026.
“Sahi tunareject Finance Bill mambo za Mulamwah wachana nayo Admin,” one comment read.

He added that fan support through streaming music, attending shows, and sharing content has played a major role in his success over the years.
Khaligraph also noted that loyalty in the entertainment industry is never guaranteed, saying he does not take his supporters for granted.
