As the claims spread, the videos attracted thousands of reactions, with audiences from both Kenya and Tanzania weighing in on the debate.
The skits quickly went viral, fueling further speculation about the creators’ status and their ability to travel to Tanzania.
Creators Respond
In separate responses shared online, Mokaya, Mjaka Mfine, and Malcolm appeared to downplay the reports, treating them as part of the ongoing social media buzz surrounding their content.
Rather than directly confirming or denying the allegations, the creators responded in a light-hearted manner, suggesting they were unfazed by the speculation.
Their reactions have only added to the conversation, with supporters and critics continuing to debate the impact of political satire and the role of content creators in addressing topical issues through comedy.
As of now, there has been no official confirmation from Tanzanian authorities regarding the claims circulating online.
