Kelvin Kinuthia has revealed that he is considering officially changing his name, after repeatedly facing awkward situations while using his identification card.
Speaking during an interview with Oga Obinna on Tuesday, May 26, Kinuthia explained that some people struggle to immediately identify him whenever he presents his ID documents.
According to the content creator, the confusion has at times created uncomfortable moments, especially in places where identification checks are required.
Kinuthia said many people are often surprised after seeing the details on his identification card because they expect something different based on his public appearance and online personality.
The influencer admitted that the repeated experiences have pushed him to seriously think about changing his name legally to better match the identity most fans and the public know him by.
While speaking during the interview, Kinuthia approached the topic humorously but also acknowledged that the issue has become a genuine concern in some situations.
The conversation quickly attracted attention online, with social media users sharing mixed reactions to his remarks.
Some fans supported the idea, arguing that public figures sometimes choose names that align with their personal brand or public image.
Others, however, questioned whether changing a name would solve the challenges he described.
Kinuthia has built a strong online following through his comedy skits, lifestyle content, and bold fashion choices, making him one of the most talked-about digital personalities in Kenya.
His interviews and social media posts regularly spark debate, particularly around identity, celebrity culture, and self-expression.
The discussion also reignited conversations online about the challenges public figures face balancing private identity and public perception.
Legal experts note that Kenyan citizens are allowed to change their names through a formal legal process involving documentation and gazette notices.
For many followers, however, the interview was less about legal paperwork and more about the realities of fame in the social media age.
As clips from the interview continued circulating online, fans flooded comment sections with jokes, opinions, and support messages directed at the content creator.
Some followers praised Kinuthia for openly discussing personal experiences that many public personalities rarely speak about publicly.
