After the passing of Brian Chira, his cousin Iano ventured onto TikTok, where he quickly gained attention and acclaim. Unlike Brian, known for his controversial presence, Iano exudes a calm and relaxed demeanor that has resonated with audiences.
Iano’s debut on TikTok was marked by a distinctive welcome. During his first live session, a spontaneous gesture from a viewer surprised him with several virtual “lions.” This encounter featured prominent TikTok personalities like Prince Mwiti, Cindy Baby, and Hannah Bentah.
In less than ten minutes, Iano received five virtual lions, a feat that astonished his fellow TikTokers. His response, however, defied expectations—he remained composed and unperturbed. For those familiar with TikTok culture, each lion symbolizes approximately 34,000 Kenyan shillings, totaling a staggering 170,000 Kenyan shillings for Iano.
The magnitude of this windfall is not lost on Iano, a student navigating the complexities of university life. Such a sum represents a significant financial boon, especially considering it was earned through a single TikTok session. Indeed, TikTok has emerged as a platform where substantial monetary rewards are within reach, exemplified by individuals like Pastor Kanyari, who have amassed considerable wealth through their online presence.
