Kenyan social commentator and provocateur Andrew Kibe has once again grabbed headlines with his controversial advice. Known for his unfiltered and often provocative takes, Kibe has offered DJ Mo two eyebrow-raising tips that have sparked widespread conversation on social media.
Kibe, who has built a reputation for his blunt commentary on relationships and male self-improvement, posted a video on his social media platforms where he directly addressed DJ Mo. The video, like many of Kibe’s, was marked by his typical no-holds-barred approach, offering advice that was both surprising and controversial.
“Block All the Numbers”
Kibe’s first piece of advice to DJ Mo was as radical as it was simple: cut off all ties with the past. “DJ Mo, if I were you, let me tell you what I would do,” Kibe began, setting the stage for his blunt counsel. “I would block all those numbers. Block her number, block her friends’ numbers, block all those pastors’ numbers—including your mom, your sister, and everyone who is female and coming with that type of energy. Block those numbers because you’re still young. You can still be very successful, and you still look good.”
Kibe’s suggestion to sever connections with anyone linked to his past relationship, including close family members, was intended to help DJ Mo move on without the emotional baggage that might come from these associations. Kibe implied that by cutting these ties, DJ Mo could focus entirely on rebuilding his life and career, free from the influence of those who might remind him of his past.
“Shift to Secular Music”
Kibe’s second piece of advice was even more provocative, urging DJ Mo to abandon his gospel roots and transition into the secular music scene. “Sasa toka gospel uingie secular. Hapo nimekupatia leakage. That’s the only way DJ Mo can survive,” Kibe stated with his signature directness. According to Kibe, this drastic career shift would not only rejuvenate DJ Mo’s brand but also open up new, lucrative opportunities in the entertainment industry.
“Right now, you have a blank slate. Jifanye umechizi uanze kuingia hizi gigs za club. Wanakutaka. You’re very marketable. Uende kutuchezea hizi mangoma tunapenda,” Kibe continued, painting a picture of a thriving career in the vibrant, high-paying world of secular music. He further emphasized that gospel music’s peak had passed and that the real opportunities now lay in the booming club scene, where top DJs are in high demand.
“Wachana na gospel. Imeisha. Hiyo time imeisha. Saa hii ingia hiyo side ingine. Look at the clubs and how big they are. They are paying good money for good DJs. Brand yourself and come back bigger and better. Saa next time tutakuona 1824 utatuchezea mangoma,” Kibe urged, suggesting that this rebranding could see DJ Mo not only survive but thrive in a new, more profitable arena.
Public Reaction and Speculation
Kibe’s advice has predictably sparked heated debates online. Some have lauded his boldness and insight, arguing that DJ Mo needs a fresh start and that secular music could indeed offer a more lucrative path. Others, however, have criticized Kibe’s advice, particularly the suggestion to abandon gospel music, seeing it as a betrayal of the values and audience that built DJ Mo’s career.
As of now, DJ Mo has remained silent on the separation from Size 8, adding to the speculation surrounding the reasons for their split. Whether or not he will take Kibe’s advice and pivot to secular music is yet to be seen. However, Kibe’s suggestions have undeniably ignited conversations across Kenya, with many eagerly watching to see DJ Mo’s next move.
In a landscape where public figures’ personal lives often become fodder for intense public scrutiny, Kibe’s intervention serves as a reminder of the power of commentary in shaping narratives and influencing decisions. Whether DJ Mo chooses to follow Kibe’s controversial advice or forge his own path, one thing is certain—this is a story that will continue to unfold in the public eye.
