Content creator Dem Wa FB has publicly defended her professional standing against critics who frequently compare her social media following to that of her mentor, Choffuri.
The creator dismissed the comparisons, which typically focus on the raw numbers of their Facebook audiences.
Dem Wa FB addressed the issue directly on her social media, shutting down those who use follower counts to judge her career or diminish Choffuri’s impact.
Shutting Down the Numbers Game
The content creator, who boasts a significant following on Facebook, pointed out the disparity in follower counts between herself and her mentor.
She has an audience exceeding 1.7 million followers, while Choffuri has approximately 591,000 followers.
“Before you start comparing my numbers with his, huyu mtu anafaa ajue bila Choffuri maybe ata hizo zangu hazingekua. Secondly, it’s not about competition but collaboration.”
She stressed that comparing the two figures is pointless. The comparison fails to consider the different ways their audiences were built and their distinct roles within the industry.
“Hii thinking ni the same na kuamka siku moja uanze kusema vile umepata pesa kuliko babako.”
She argued that success is not just about the numbers displayed on a profile. She insisted that Choffuri’s position as her “godfather” and mentor transcends mere follower counts.
The Value of Mentorship
Dem Wa FB emphasised the pivotal role Choffuri played in shaping her career. She credits him with introducing her to the social media platform and guiding her professional trajectory.
She stated that Choffuri laid the foundation for her success and remains a respected figure in the digital space. She clarified that their relationship is one of respect and guidance, not competition.
“First things first, the role that
Choffuri played in kickstarting my career will forever be part of my story and that will never change,” she stated.
She also pointed out a distinction in their content focus. Choffuri is known for his influential presence in the Luhya language skits, while Dem Wa FB has cultivated a large audience through lifestyle and entertainment content.
Background on the Creators
Dem Wa FB rose to prominence through engaging, often humorous content that resonated widely with the Kenyan audience. Her videos and posts quickly gained viral attention, leading to her large following. Her content often addresses current social trends and personal stories.
Choffuri, who maintains a robust social media presence despite the lower follower count compared to his mentee, is regarded as a strategic operator in the digital content space.
