A Kenyan woman identified as Carol has gone viral on TikTok after controversially changing her name to “Kenyan Gogo” just hours following the death of renowned Rwandan gospel artist Gogo Gloriose.
The move quickly sparked mixed reactions online, with many questioning her intentions and others accusing her of clout chasing at the expense of the late singer’s memory. The timing of the name change, so soon after the tragic loss, has fueled debate across social media platforms.
Carol, however, has since come forward to clarify her situation. She says she is now seeking help, though the exact nature of the assistance she requires has not been clearly outlined. Her plea has left many TikTok users speculating whether she is facing online backlash, struggling emotionally, or in need of financial support.
The incident has highlighted how quickly social media trends can turn controversial, especially when they touch on sensitive matters such as death. While some users continue to criticize Carol for being insensitive, others have expressed sympathy and urged the public to hear her side of the story.
As her name continues to trend, it remains to be seen whether Carol’s request for help will be met with support or more scrutiny from netizens.
