Popular Kenyan YouTuber Oga Obinna has opened up about his decision to remove past content featuring his former co-host, Dem Wa Facebook, from his YouTube channel. This move comes after the duo parted ways, leading to a rebranding of Obinna’s weekly show. In a recent interview, Obinna clarified that the decision was not driven by animosity but rather by a desire to create a fresh start and avoid unnecessary comparisons between his old and new content.
Obinna explained that the rebranded show, which now features a new co-host, Kartelo, has a different format and appeals to a distinct audience. “We wanted to have a level playing field so that people cannot start comparing this one and the other,” he stated. He emphasized that while the previous show with Dem Wa Facebook had a more formal tone, the current version is tailored to a more laid-back audience, reflecting Kartelo’s style.
The removal of past videos sparked speculation among fans, with some suggesting that Obinna should have created a separate channel for the new show. However, Obinna dismissed this idea, asserting that his platform has always been under his control. He also addressed claims that he should compensate Dem Wa Facebook for the old content, clarifying that fans were unaware of the nature of their agreement. “The videos were not removed due to bad blood,” he insisted.
The split between Obinna and Dem Wa Facebook has been a topic of discussion among Kenyan fans since November, when Obinna was spotted holding a contract bearing both their names. This led to hopes of a reconciliation, but Obinna remained non-committal, stating, “I am not promising that the show will return. Possibilities are limitless when God is involved.”
Despite the speculation, Obinna has moved forward with his rebranded show, focusing on creating content that resonates with his audience. While fans may miss the dynamic between Obinna and Dem Wa Facebook, the YouTuber’s decision to remove their past collaborations marks a new chapter in his creative journey.
