Popular Youtuber and media personality Elodie Zone, who is Sean Andrew’s (Kibaki’s grandson) ex- lover was among the pioneers of the YouTube scene before it became popular in Kenya. She joined the video sharing website after she became a social pariah in high school following a vicious rumour that she was a slut.
Due to this rumour, people shunned her and she started a YouTube channel because she didn’t have any friends as teenagers can be merciless creatures. She said; ”I started my YouTube channel because I didn’t have any friends because of those rumours of people calling me a slut, and that is when my family and friends would say some hurtful things. They told me a job as a YouTuber is not a job, that I’m embarrassing myself on the internet and that I am not making it in life.”
Elodie broke fans hearts when she revealed that she got tired of YouTube and is not coming back, like ever. She revealed this in a reply to a fan who said that he misses her on YouTube. ”Why did you stop YouTube gal? We miss you so much.” She replied, ”Got tired of it. Won’t be coming back.”
