Digital content creator Mulamwah, born David Oyando, has hit back at lazy assumptions that his massive fortune comes from shortcuts.
In a fiery Instagram post shared on Thursday, January 29, 2026, the comedian and content creator slammed persistent rumors questioning his financial sources.
Despite being one of the most visible success stories of the “creator economy,” Mulamwah says he is tired of critics who see his lavish investments and immediately suspect foul play.
“Nikazane ivi halafu mtu anauliza huyu hutoa wapi pesa,” (I work this hard only for someone to ask where the money comes from), a frustrated Mulamwah told his followers.
To silence the skeptics, Mulamwah has previously taken the rare step of “showing the receipts.”
In late 2025, he shared a screenshot of his Facebook earnings dashboard, revealing a staggering monthly payout of $8,844.78 (approx. KSh 1.14 million).
The entertainer, who has famously lived a modest life in a Ksh70,000-a-month Nairobi apartment to save for his future, credits his fortune to his “Ujanja ni kukaa mjinga” (The trick is to play the fool) strategy.
By creating relatable, viral content that resonates with millions, he has tapped into Meta’s lucrative monetization tools that many creators are still struggling to navigate.
The comedian’s advice to the youth has always been consistent: ignore the noise and focus on the fruit.
“Young king/queen, the rule is simple: make cash… disappear. After getting enough fruit, leave the forest before it’s dark,” he previously advised.
As he nears the completion of his dream home, Mulamwah has even hinted at a potential retirement from social media to focus on his private ventures and family.
For now, however, he remains the poster boy for the “hustle culture,” proving that in the era of digital monetization, you don’t need a white-collar job to build a blue-chip lifestyle.
