Kenyan artist Millicent Jepkorir, widely known as Marakwet Daughter, has found herself in the midst of a social media storm following a TikTok video where she addressed alleged trolls among her followers.
The artist, celebrated for her hit song ‘Mali Safi Chito,’ warned those spreading negativity and proudly declared her peace of mind after blocking several individuals.
“You are used to using bad language on my comment section. Mumezoea sanaa kupupuu inbox yangu pale TikTok, pupuu sasa hapa. Nkt!” she lashed out at her followers.
The controversial video quickly went viral, sparking varied reactions from social media users.
Carren Chepkoech expressed dissatisfaction, stating, “Like us Kenyans, we are about to avoid you by unfollowing and unsubscribing to all your channels.”
Others, like Ndung’u Nyoro, suggested that Marakwet Daughter, along with other MALI SAFI artists, might benefit from mentors and managers to provide guidance and support.
Honourable Kiprono advised focusing on individual plans and not being bothered by negativity.

It has not sat well with your followers; I don’t know if you’re even aware of the remaining followers and subscribers! Anyway, I will not be personal because at the end of the day, maisha ni yako; you can make it or bottle it.”
