Kenyan comedian and content creator Mulamwah has opened up about his relationship with media personality Oga Obinna, explaining why he chose to block him on social media.
Speaking in a recent interview with Tony Mwirigi, Mulamwah dismissed suggestions of bad blood between the two personalities.
According to him, the decision was not driven by hatred but by differences in personal values and perspectives.

“Si mchukii, ni vile value zangu na zake hazipelekani,” he said.
Mulamwah explained that people can have different views on what they consider acceptable or appropriate.
“Yeye anaeza fanya kitu aone iko correct na mimi kwangu is not correct. So it’s not a matter of eti tunachukiana. Ni ile tu iko tu hivo.”
Despite the distance between them, he acknowledged that they could still meet in public spaces.
However, he suggested that there is little common ground between them.
“Yeah, tunaeza meet, but I don’t think kuna space tunapatana.”
Travel plans are also influenced by the situation.
Mulamwah further revealed that if content creator China were to include Obinna in a planned trip, he would rather wait for another opportunity.
“If China adds Obinna to the trip, then I prefer to go for the next trip.”
His comments have since generated discussion among fans, with many interpreting them as a reflection of personal boundaries rather than an ongoing feud.
Reflecting on the burning of his Identity T-shirt
The comedian also revisited one of the most talked-about moments in his career — the burning of his Identity comedy group T-shirt.
At the time, the incident attracted widespread attention online and sparked conversations across the entertainment industry.
Mulamwah admitted that he did not anticipate the reaction the act would generate.
“Mimi nikichoma, sikujua itakuwa kitu kubwa hivo. I didn’t know if it was that significant. I did it for the sake of kufanya, but ikalipuka kila mahali.”
The controversy grew beyond Kenya’s borders and attracted international media attention.
“Kumbe ni issue kubwa sana mpaka nika-hostiwa na BBC na Al Jazeera.”
He added that he was later featured in a documentary examining African social media and online bullying.
A response to online bullying
According to Mulamwah, the act symbolised his decision to move on from a chapter of his life that had become emotionally draining.
He said online criticism directed at him had begun affecting people close to him, including members of his family.
“Hiyo ilikuwa ina-symbolise mi nimeachana na hiyo kitu.”
“Kama ni comedy iende. Juu kama utanibully mimi, ma brother zangu wakienda shule pia
wanabuliwa huko, mzae wangu pia. Ilikuwa ina-affect watu haifai ku-affect.”
The comedian’s remarks have once again highlighted the pressures public figures face online and the impact that social media criticism can have beyond the individuals at the centre of attention.
