Content creator Marya Prud Irungu has claimed that an organisation withdrew its consideration of her for a mental health awareness campaign after her recent comments about Willis Raburu and Ivy Namu’s breakup.
The revelation emerged in a clip shared by Nairobi Gossip Club, where Marya said she had been informed by a close friend that an NGO had initially considered her for an ambassadorial role before changing its mind following her social media posts.
According to Marya, the organisation viewed her comments as bullying and felt they did not align with the values of a mental health awareness campaign.
‘They Cancelled The Consideration’
She said the opportunity was withdrawn after she publicly celebrated and mocked the reported end of Willis Raburu and Ivy Namu’s relationship.
According to her account, the organisation believed the posts reflected negatively on the message they hoped to promote through the campaign. However, Marya maintained that she had no regrets over her comments.
‘Social Media Should Allow People To Have Fun’
While addressing the matter, Marya argued that social media users should not be denied the opportunity to express themselves online.
She suggested that her posts were part of online culture and should not automatically disqualify her from professional opportunities.
The content creator appeared unbothered by the decision, insisting that she did not feel compelled to apologise for her remarks. Her comments have since reignited debate about accountability on social media and whether online conduct should influence brand and organisational partnerships.
Mixed Reactions From Fans
The clip quickly attracted reactions from social media users, many of whom questioned whether Marya expected a different outcome.
One follower, Magoma.ke_, commented: “Ulikuwa unataka wakupigie makofi😂😂😂” Another user wrote: “What did she expect??”
Several commenters suggested that actions on social media can have consequences in real life. Darius Mboya remarked: “Karma comes back hard when you wish ill on others or celebrate their losses anyway… watu wajifunze kumove on.”
Others, however, defended Marya and argued that she was entitled to express feelings about past experiences. A lengthy comment from pwokah_chelseajonnes read in part: “Healing isn’t linear, and healing doesn’t mean you can’t look back and talk about your past experiences with someone you once held dear who hurt you.”
The commenter added: “Let the baeb finally talk.”
Debate Continues Online
Other reactions ranged from humour to encouragement. “HEALING IS YOUR PORTION,” wrote csarmission. “Huyu kisiangani anakuharibu 😂,” commented x__rated_.
Meanwhile, some users focused on the broader issue of personal accountability and the impact of public statements.
