“A lot can change in 5 years!!! So proud of me for pursuing my YouTube career with intention. Can’t wait to grow the 6.6 million viewers on the channel,” Mandi said in a tweet that has received no interactions so far, probably because Kenyans on Twitter are still mad at her.
Miss Mandi’s storm started, ironically, from a Tweet that she personally made about accountability. She would later receive a quoted reply from former colleague Gitobu Koome, who accused her of bullying when they were both working together at a city media station. Koome claimed Mandi constantly terrorized him, made fun of his clothes because they were not trendy, and hurt him throughout. He asked Mandi not to talk about accountability when she wasn’t accountable for her action.
