Popular Kenyan content creator Jaymo Ule Msee is facing a digital firestorm after dismissing the impact of this year’s June 25th nationwide protests. In a now-controversial Facebook post, Jaymo appeared to belittle the movement, comparing it unfavourably to last year’s events.
25th 2024 – Authentic & Genuine Maandamano with Impact. 25th 2025 – Very Fake Maandamano with a tribal leaning and Zero Impact.
The statement ignited widespread outrage from Kenyans who had taken to the streets in this year’s protests, many of whom felt their efforts were being trivialized. In the hours that followed, Jaymo’s social media pages were swarmed by furious netizens. The backlash was swift and unrelenting—ranging from digital lectures to outright cancellation campaigns.
On YouTube, where Jaymo had amassed a solid 197,000 subscribers, a steady stream of users began jumping ship. Within 24 hours, he had lost 1,000 subscribers—and the number continues to dip as hashtags urging mass unsubscription gain traction on X (formerly Twitter).
The situation was no better on Facebook. Jaymo was forced to disable the comments section on his post after hundreds flooded in, with Kenyans leaving scathing critiques, sarcastic “greetings,” and unfiltered feedback. One message that reportedly became a fan favourite among critics was, “Fungua comments kama wewe ni mwanaume.”
Jaymo, not one to back down from banter, responded with irony:
Fungua comments kama wewe ni Mwanaume’ is the most INTELLIGENT and popular message my people are sending me ndio wanitusi wasikie Poa… Surely
But the fire didn’t stop there. With Facebook and YouTube under lockdown or desertion, angry Kenyans have now redirected their fury to Instagram, where they continue to demand accountability and amplify calls for further unsubscribes.
