A Kenyan TikToker has ignited widespread outrage after making highly disrespectful remarks targeting renowned Kikuyu gospel singer Hellen Muthoni. The content creator, whose video has since gone viral on social media, crudely suggested that the popular musician should engage in indecent acts to repay her alleged car loan.
The statement, viewed by many as distasteful and degrading, immediately drew backlash from fans, gospel music lovers, and members of the online community. Many expressed disappointment that social media platforms have become a breeding ground for insults, cyberbullying, and public humiliation, particularly targeting celebrities and women in the entertainment industry.
Hellen Muthoni, who has built a respected career through her inspirational gospel music and her role on TV shows such as Inooro TV’s Rhythm Gospel Show, has not responded publicly to the comments. However, several fans and fellow artists have come to her defense, urging social media users to respect artists and avoid using vulgar language for clout or attention.
Online critics accused the TikToker of crossing moral and ethical boundaries simply to attract views and followers. They called for greater regulation of social media spaces, noting that freedom of expression should not be used as a license to insult or demean others.
The incident has also reignited a broader conversation about cyberbullying, respect for women, and the misuse of digital platforms in Kenya. Experts in online ethics argue that such behavior not only damages reputations but also undermines efforts to promote positive and responsible digital citizenship.
As the video continues to circulate, Kenyans are calling on relevant authorities and social media companies to take stronger action against those who use vulgar or defamatory language online.
For now, Hellen Muthoni remains silent, choosing dignity over drama — a move that many of her supporters have praised as a sign of maturity and strength in the face of public provocation.
