Following the uproar, Sammy Boy took to his Instagram stories on Monday to downplay the incident and calm his followers. Reflecting on the physical impact of the encounter, he joked about the sheer strength of the young streamer. “The moment Speed overpowered Jaymoh and me on a single push… I almost saw the dark,” he wrote, adding that while the fall looked dramatic, it was simply part of the day’s high-octane energy.
Urging his fans not to harbor ill will or take the encounter too seriously, the trader emphasized that there was no bad blood between them and the American visitor. “It’s okay guys, it’s part of the day. I feel your emotions, but trust me, we are laughing out here,” he stated, signaling that the influencers had embraced the moment as a lighthearted highlight of the historic tour.
By framing the fall as a humorous anecdote rather than an insult, Sammy Boy has attempted to shift the narrative from one of embarrassment to one of shared excitement over the biggest livestreaming event in Kenya’s history.
