Mulamwah Explains Why He Blocked Oga Obinna, Says It Was About Values Not Conflict
Kenyan comedian and content creator Mulamwah has opened up about his relationship with media personality Oga Obinna, explaining why he decided to block him on social media.
Speaking during a recent interview with Tony Mwirigi, Mulamwah dismissed claims that there is personal hatred or a major fallout between the two entertainers.
According to him, the decision was based on differences in their values and viewpoints rather than a personal feud.
“Si mchukii, ni vile value zangu na zake hazipelekani,” he said.
Mulamwah explained that people can have different opinions about what they consider right or acceptable, and those differences can affect how they relate to each other.
“Yeye anaweza kufanya kitu aone iko correct na mimi kwangu is not correct. So it’s not a matter of eti tunachukiana. Ni ile tu iko tu hivo,” he added.
Although they are no longer close, Mulamwah acknowledged that they could still cross paths in public and remain civil.
“Yeah, tunaeza meet, but I don’t think kuna space tunapatana,” he said.
He also revealed that their differences could influence his participation in future plans involving mutual friends. Mulamwah said if content creator China included Obinna in a planned trip, he would rather wait for another opportunity.
“If China adds Obinna to the trip, then I prefer to go for the next trip,” he explained.
His remarks sparked conversations online, with many fans viewing them as an example of setting personal boundaries rather than evidence of an ongoing dispute.

Mulamwah Reflects on Burning Identity T-Shirt
During the interview, Mulamwah also revisited one of the most talked-about moments of his career — the burning of his Identity comedy group T-shirt.
The incident attracted widespread attention and generated discussions across Kenya’s entertainment scene, with many questioning the message behind the move.
Mulamwah admitted that he did not expect the reaction to become as big as it did.
“Mimi nikichoma, sikujua itakuwa kitu kubwa hivo. I didn’t know if it was that significant. I did it for the sake of kufanya, but ikalipuka kila mahali,” he said.
The controversy eventually gained international attention, with Mulamwah revealing that he was featured by international media outlets.
“Kumbe ni issue kubwa sana mpaka nika-hostiwa na BBC na Al Jazeera,” he said.
He added that he was later featured in a documentary focusing on African social media and online bullying.
A Message Against Online Bullying
Mulamwah explained that burning the shirt represented his decision to move on from a chapter of his life that had become emotionally exhausting.
He said online criticism directed at him had begun affecting people around him, including members of his family.
“Hiyo ilikuwa ina-symbolise mi nimeachana na hiyo kitu,” he explained.
He added that while criticism aimed at him was something he could handle, the impact on his loved ones was a different matter.
“Kama ni comedy iende. Juu kama utanibully mimi, ma brother zangu wakienda shule pia wanabuliwa huko, mzae wangu pia. Ilikuwa ina-affect watu haifai ku-affect.”
Mulamwah said his decision was ultimately about protecting those close to him and moving forward from negativity.
