Kenyan content creator Alma Mutheru has shared her success story of becoming a major earner through the video-creating app TikTok in a recent interview with Obinna on the Kulacooler show.
In 2019, Alma stumbled upon TikTok, then known as Musically, without any prior knowledge of the platform. Intrigued by the creative content she saw, she decided to give it a shot. She began by posting lip-sync videos and acting content, slowly building her presence on the platform. However, it was one particular lip-sync video of Khaligraph Jones’ song ‘yes bana’ that went viral and catapulted her into fame. Khaligraph himself reposted the video, leading to millions of likes on her content.
Amidst her rising fame, people have shown interest in Alma’s dating life, but she clarified that she is currently single and not seeing anyone. Her parents have been supportive of her online career, although Alma’s mother initially had concerns about the exposure Alma was getting. As Alma’s popularity grew, she faced recognition from fans in public, which affected her daily life and raised concerns about her education. Despite these challenges, she managed to convince her mother to trust her and support her endeavors.
Regarding her education, Alma deferred school to focus on her TikTok career, and she plans to return in a few months. She assured her online followers that she is 16 years old, even though some have doubted her age. Alma disclosed that she has earned over two million from TikTok, with more than a million already withdrawn from the platform, emphasizing that TikTok offers significant earning potential.
Alma does not have a specific celebrity crush among Kenyan stars, and she believes that parents should not discourage their kids from joining TikTok since people have been able to buy cars and houses with the earnings they make from the platform.
In conclusion, Alma Mutheru’s journey on TikTok has been an inspiring tale of success, and she continues to make strides in the digital world while remaining committed to her education.
