A bold fan recently caught the attention of netizens after sliding into Commentator 254’s inbox with a money request.
The fan first asked the comedian for KSh10,000, but when Commentator 254 politely turned him down, the fan quickly lowered the request to KSh5,000.
The online personality responded the same way: he simply didn’t have it.
Who is Commentator 254?
ommentator 254 is a popular Kenyan online comedian and content creator known for his witty takes on trending topics, social issues, and entertainment news. With his humorous commentary and relatable storytelling style, he has built a loyal following across social media platforms.
The Reality Behind the Fame
Commentator 254 explained his position with honesty, telling the fan, “Sorry, I don’t have. If I did, I would have assisted you.
I am also struggling with my issues.” His statement served as a reality check for many, highlighting a truth that is often ignored: celebrities are not walking ATMs.
They, too, juggle bills, family responsibilities, and personal struggles behind the scenes.
Many fans assume that fame automatically translates to wealth. However, the reality for many entertainers in Kenya is that they live from gig to gig, depending on shows, brand deals, and online content.
Not every celebrity is a millionaire, and some are still working hard to keep their careers afloat.
The Social Media Pressure And Mixed Reactions
The incident shows the lengths some fans will go to. The act of bargaining from KSh10,000 down to KSh5,000 amused many netizens but also raised concerns about a growing sense of entitlement.
One fan on Instagram reacted by saying, “People think fame equals riches. These guys are also struggling in this economy.”
Another commented saying. “He would rather say, I don’t have, but let me send you a thousand shillings to take care of a few things. If you bless others, God adds to you. Good hearts don’t cost a thing, sir.”
