USA-based Kenyan content creator Mama Jimmy has responded humorously to Kenyans who poked fun at her attempt to speak English in a recent TikTok video.
The social media personality addressed the reactions on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, after sharing a video in which she deliberately tried to communicate in English while showcasing a projector she had bought for her children.
Some viewers focused on her pronunciation and accent, with a section of her followers joking that she appeared to be speaking through her nose.
Rather than taking the criticism seriously, Mama Jimmy laughed off the comments and questioned why some Kenyans were asking her to speak even more English after she had already made the effort.
“I tried to speak English today, and I posted a video, and people were commenting and saying that I was speaking with my nose, like I have an accent,” she said.
She then jokingly asked her followers to appreciate the amount of English she had already spoken instead of demanding more.
“Haha, you guys are so funny. Why can’t you get satisfied with the amount I spoke? You want more?” she added.
Her remarks came shortly after she shared the earlier video featuring the projector, which she described as a useful gadget for children.
In the clip, Mama Jimmy introduced the device to her followers before turning the camera towards her children, who were seen using it.
“As you can see, my kids are really enjoying this projector,” she said.
She also drew attention to her son Jimmy, noting that he was speaking English during the video.
“My son Jimmy is speaking English today as well,” Mama Jimmy remarked.
The content creator went on to joke about her own progress with the language, suggesting that she was still learning and could become more fluent with time.
“Maybe one day I will be speaking nice English,” she said.
The exchange highlights the playful relationship Mama Jimmy has developed with her online audience, particularly when followers comment on her communication style and life in the United States.
Since relocating to the US, the Kenyan content creator has continued sharing snippets of her family life, including videos featuring her children and everyday experiences.
Her latest response also showed that she was not overly concerned by the criticism, choosing instead to turn the comments into another light-hearted moment for her followers.
The English-speaking attempt quickly became part of the conversation around her video, with Mama Jimmy using humour to respond to the attention rather than engaging in a heated exchange.
For her followers, the incident offered another glimpse into the personality behind her popular social media content and her willingness to laugh at herself while navigating life abroad.
