Jackie Matubia, a popular actress, recently responded to a fan who suggested that her ex-partner left her because of a TikTok challenge she had posted. The actress, who gained fame for her roles on screen, took to social media to address the claim, setting the record straight and offering some insight into her personal views on love and relationships.
The incident began when Jackie participated in a TikTok challenge, where she lip-synched to the lyrics of songs by King Kaka and Wakadinali. In the video, she performed to the track “Soko” by King Kaka, along with “Sewersydaa” and “Scar Mkadinali” by Wakadinali. The song’s lyrics, which reference themes of love, betrayal, and relationships, became a focal point for the discussion. The actress, as part of the challenge, shared the video with the caption: “I hear this is the design of speaking these days.”
However, one fan interpreted the video differently, suggesting that the reason behind her ex-partner leaving her was related to the TikTok challenge. The comment read, “Ndio maana wako akaenda” (“That’s why yours left”), implying that the ex had walked away because of the actress’s actions. The fan’s message, although unclear about which ex they were referring to, sparked a reaction from Jackie.
In her response, Jackie was quick to clarify that the video was simply part of a viral trend and not a reflection of her personal life. She reminded the fan that the challenge was just a fun, lighthearted activity, and should not be taken as an indication of any real-life situations. Jackie emphasized that lip-syncing to a song and participating in a social media challenge did not translate into reality for her.
The actress didn’t stop there. In a follow-up video, she took the opportunity to further express her thoughts on relationships and love. She pointed out that love is not everything in life and, contrary to some popular beliefs, money can sometimes play a significant role in relationships. “Once you have money, you can buy love,” she said, reinforcing the idea that material wealth can sometimes influence personal connections in ways that people might not like to admit.
Jackie also delivered a playful yet firm message to anyone trying to involve her personal life in their assumptions. “Opinions pelekea Ruto, mafeelings peleka huko,” she said, suggesting that people should focus on their own matters rather than speculating about hers. She also advised the fan to “Buy a dictionary to find out the meaning of lip sync or challenge,” urging them to understand the difference between reality and the virtual world of TikTok trends.
The actress’s response highlighted her confidence and desire to keep her private life separate from the online assumptions and commentary that often surround public figures. By addressing the situation with humor and clarity, she made it clear that her social media activities, particularly the TikTok challenge, were not indicative of any drama or personal turmoil.
Jackie’s reaction underscores the growing issue of how online platforms, especially social media, often create narratives about people’s lives that are based more on speculation than fact. The incident also serves as a reminder that not everything seen on the internet reflects the full picture of someone’s personal life.
