Popular Influencer Joe Muchiri has called out the growing trend in Kenyan celebrity parents who have taken up the behavior of opening social media accounts for their children who are too young to give consent or run their pages themselves. To make matters worse, not only do they open the accounts but they credit themselves in the captions and later go back to comment with their actual pages.
He boldly called out the Muraya’s and the Bahati’s who are all Gospel music families as well as Joe Mwangi who was in the Wendy Mueni scandal running her accounts without her knowledge.
The trend has now caught up with regular parents who aren’t celebrities and according to Muchiri’spost, this is a definite sign of mental illness.
Here are some of the social media pages the celebrities have opened for their children. The crazy part of it is that the accounts have thousands of followers ready to ingest the content provided.

The post incited many fans who were of the same opinion. Singer Bahati laughed after being called out saying:

I always wonder what’s the ultimate goal of the kids account? Do they intend to hand over the accounts when the kids are of age? If so isn’t that subjecting the kids to preditors since their follows are their parents age-mates or atleast 15+ years above them? Anyway don’t mind me insomnia inamisumbua
