TikTok celebrity Prince Mwiti has become viral again after sharing about his mother’s money requests. In a candid and explosive post, Mwiti complained about the pressure of being constantly asked for money by family members.
“There is something that is really frustrating me,” confessed Prince Mwiti. “Every time my mother sees me, she just sees money. Nitumie pesa nitumie pesa what am I supposed to do? I don’t know how to tell her it’s frustrating me.”
The phrase “nitumie pesa” means “send me money” in Swahili and is one that many Kenyans are familiar with. It’s the expectation that typically falls on the shoulders of young, financially prominent ones, often those who appear to be prospering online.
Prince Mwiti’s honesty struck a chord with fans, who flooded the comment sections with mixed reactions. Some applauded his transparency, while others urged him to find a respectful way to have the difficult conversation with his mom.
