Popular Kenyan comedian and radio presenter Mulamwah has revealed plans to step away from social media once he completes building his mansion in Kitale. The announcement was made on Friday, September 2026, sparking widespread debate among fans and followers.
Mulamwah, known for his sharp wit and relatable skits, has built a massive online following over the years. His decision to consider quitting platforms that helped launch his career has therefore caught many by surprise.
A Dream Home in Progress
For months, Mulamwah has been documenting the construction of his multi-million-shilling Kitale mansion, sharing photos and updates with fans.
The project has been described as his “dream home,” and the comedian says it symbolises stability, success, and a desire for a different lifestyle.
” Not easy at all but at 70% usiponiona online wewe jua iliisha nikishajifungia hapo ni hivyo.”He posted on his instagram stories
Fans React Online
The news quickly went viral, with mixed reactions from Kenyans. Supporters praised the comedian for prioritising family and personal growth, arguing that the pressures of social media can be overwhelming.
Others, however, questioned whether Mulamwah could truly step away from the spotlight, given how central social media has been to his comedy and brand endorsements. Memes and jokes about a “Mulamwah comeback” soon trended, reflecting both disbelief and admiration.
The Cost of Online Fame
Mulamwah has previously opened up about the challenges of online criticism, trolling, and the constant pressure to entertain. His plan to quit social media reflects a growing trend among celebrities choosing mental health and private life over digital fame.
What Next for Mulamwah?
While he has not revealed whether he will also step back from comedy or radio, Mulamwah hinted that his focus will shift to family, business ventures, and possibly mentoring young creatives.
If he follows through, Mulamwah’s departure would mark the end of an era for one of Kenya’s most consistent online entertainers. Yet for many fans, his Kitale mansion will remain a lasting symbol of hard work, ambition, and a new chapter beyond social media
