Media personality Oga Obinna has finally spoken out about the dark rumours swirling around him, following the sudden death of Arbantone singer Stoopid Boy.
Obinna has long been known for extending a helping hand to struggling artistes, comedians and individuals within Kenya’s entertainment circles.
However, that generosity has recently become the subject of sinister speculation, with some online users alleging that people he supports end up losing their lives, and linking this pattern to supposed ritual enrichment.
What did Obinna say about the ritual rumours?
The rumours gained fresh momentum after Stoopid Boy, a singer Obinna had publicly supported during a difficult period in his life, passed away unexpectedly.
Speaking in a candid interview with media personality Jackie Ogaga, Obinna said the accusations had not taken a toll on his mental health.
Instead, he said the episode had given him a deeper understanding of how misinformation travels and why it finds such a willing audience.
“I have seen the way some Kenyans think,” he said, adding that some people are genuinely malicious, others simply uninformed, and many never bother to verify claims before amplifying them.
He was particularly struck by how a small number of individuals can set off a wave of panic and speculation online.
“The story is being pushed by two to five people at most, and the rest are just resharing and reacting. Someone has lost his life, and you are so focused on another guy who is alive instead of asking why that person lost their life and what can we do better, while you know very well it’s a lie, but it makes you feel good.
“There are some people who still don’t believe that you can be very good at what you do like I am, so they still believe that there is something else that is not God,” Obinna said.
Beyond defending his own name, Obinna used the moment to sound a broader alarm. He warned that the same machinery driving these rumours about him could be weaponised during the 2027 General Election to deceive ordinary Kenyans on matters of far greater consequence.
The YouTuber argued that when people are conditioned to share before they think, they become easy targets for those who want to manipulate public opinion, whether in entertainment gossip or national politics.
Stoopid Boy’s death has been a painful reminder of the fragility of life in Kenya’s entertainment scene, and Obinna’s comments reflect a deep frustration with how quickly grief can be twisted into conspiracy.
