YouTube has terminated controversial content creator Andrew Kibe’s account, citing a violation of its terms of service as the reason for the closure.Kibe, who is no stranger to controversy–given his no-holds-barred attack on Kenyan celebrities–and controversial takes on current issues–had amassed some 474k subscribers on his channel, where he had posted about 3.1k videos before being terminated.
The closure of his popular account was met with shock and celebration by fans and critics alike, propelling Kibe to the top of Twitter trends.
Although he did not openly discuss the termination of his account, Kibe took to X–formerly Twitter–and appeared to dismiss the termination as a minor hiccup in his creative journey.
“Train ili toka stenje kitambo, hizi ni kelele za chura. Time ya LIVE ni ile ile aisay,” Kibe said, indicating he would still continue to churn content across other platforms.
Kibe, who operates out of Texas after leaving a radio hosting gig in Kenya, has quickly risen up the social media ranks, with apt comparisons to British-American kickboxer Andrew Tate, with whom he shares a first name.
Locally, he has clashed with a slew of Kenyan celebrities, including Bahati and Diana, former Governor Mike Sonko, and even fellow content creators.
