The content quickly became a major talking point, with many people discussing Kanini and her online activities. As the conversation continued, several claims about the TikToker also started circulating on different social media platforms.
Kanini has now addressed some of those claims, saying that people had put words in her mouth and created false information about her.
“Who told you guys that I am looking for two men?” Kanini asked while responding to the reports.
She explained that she had never made such a statement and said some men had even entered her direct messages because they believed the claims being shared online.
“Many men are in my DM asking if I have found someone,” she said, explaining that some people were approaching her after seeing posts claiming that she was looking for two men.
Watch the video to hear Alicia Kanini explain what she says was falsely attributed to her and why several men started contacting her.
Kanini said people should not believe everything they see on social media, especially when the information does not come directly from the person involved.
According to her, individuals who become popular online often become targets of fake posters, fabricated quotes and other content designed to attract attention.
“When someone is trending, they always try to create content out of nowhere for views and likes,” she explained.
Watch the video as Kanini responds to the online reports and explains why she believes some people created false quotes using her name.
The TikToker also addressed people who had advised her to be careful because the internet never forgets.
Kanini appeared to acknowledge that her actions could have consequences in the future. Rather than denying the possible impact, she said she was aware of what she had chosen and was prepared to deal with the results.
“I know the internet never forgets,” she said.
She added that people did not need to keep reminding her about the possible consequences because she had already accepted them.
Watch the video to hear Kanini's response to those warning her about the permanent nature of content posted online.
The controversy has attracted mixed reactions from social media users. Some defended Kanini, arguing that people should not judge her personal choices. Others urged her to think about how her online activities could affect her children when they grow older.
The situation also revived attention around Nairobi County Chief Environment Officer Geoffrey Mosiria, who had previously criticised Kanini over the explicit content.
Mosiria reportedly called for action against the TikToker but later said he had identified another employment opportunity for her. He stated that the job could pay between KSh50,000 and KSh100,000.
Kanini's viral moment has therefore continued to generate conversations about social media, personal choices and the lasting nature of online content.
For now, she maintains that people should separate her actual words from claims created and shared by other social media users.
