Mama Gift, a young mother from Gathoge, Kiambu County, has issued a heartfelt apology to Bishop Muthee Kiengei, asking for his forgiveness following controversy stirred by TikTok users.
The drama began after Mama Gift hosted a fundraising event at her home, which attracted thousands of well-wishers and sympathisers. The funds raised were meant to support her and her child, affectionately known as “Gift.”
However, when Mama Gift publicly mentioned that the amount raised fell short of expectations, some online users misinterpreted her sentiments as ungratefulness.
Unfortunately, this sparked a wave of online backlash, including allegations and rumours directed at Bishop Kiengei, who had supported her cause.
One particular TikToker reportedly spread damaging claims, prompting Mama Gift to intervene and take responsibility for the situation.
In a show of humility and maturity, Mama Gift personally visited Bishop Kiengei and issued an apology not just on her own behalf, but also on behalf of the wider TikTok community.
I never meant to seem ungrateful, and I sincerely ask for forgiveness,” she said. “On behalf of the TikTokers who went too far, I seek your mercy.
She further clarified that her comments were misunderstood and had no intention of downplaying the generosity of the public or the church.
The gesture has been praised by many online, who lauded Mama Gift for taking the high road and protecting the dignity of those involved.
The situation serves as a reminder of the power—and risk—of viral platforms like TikTok, where words can be easily misinterpreted and reputations quickly affected. Mama Gift’s public apology now marks a hopeful step towards reconciliation and healing.
