Pilot Nyako, the Kenyan TikTok creator currently based in Germany, recently engaged in a heated discussion with Nanny Rossie, sharing contrasting views on the circumstances surrounding Rossie’s sudden rise to fame. Nyako dismissed the emotional farewell given to Rossie by Arab employers, dismissing it as a mere publicity stunt for online attention.
Expressing a skeptical perspective, Nyako asserted that the Arab bosses had exploited Rossie for their own gain, using her briefly and discarding her once their objective of garnering online attention was achieved. Nyako contended that Rossie’s viral fame, orchestrated by the Arab employers, held little substance and was essentially a form of “cheap clout.”
According to Nyako, it is a well-known fact that African nannies often face exploitation by Arab employers, who use them for a brief period before moving on. Nyako warned that Rossie, despite her newfound online popularity, was not guaranteed a positive transformation in her life. Nyako criticized Rossie, suggesting that merely going viral does not equate to a meaningful change and that Rossie should be savvy enough to leverage her fame for financial gain.
Nyako predicted a downward trajectory for Rossie’s fame, anticipating that brands would approach her with mediocre deals, ultimately leading her to fade from the limelight. Nyako urged fellow Kenyans to be vigilant and recognize that, in her view, Arabs would consistently exploit and discard them.
In Nyako’s perspective, this marked the end of Rossie’s moment in the spotlight. Despite accumulating over 500k followers on TikTok, Nyako speculated that Rossie might struggle to monetize her followers effectively. Nyako’s overarching message encouraged a more discerning outlook among Kenyans regarding potential exploitation by external entities.
