Azziad Nasenya : “I don’t know how to beg”.

Kenyan media personality and content creator Azziad Nasenya has recently come under scrutiny due to allegations of having outstanding debts. 

These claims began circulating after blogger Edgar Obare shared messages from anonymous sources, accusing her of borrowing significant sums of money and failing to repay them.

As the controversy gained momentum, an old interview clip featuring Azziad resurfaced, in which she shared her views on borrowing money. 

In an interview with filmmaker Phil Karanja, Azziad expressed her preference for earning her own income instead of seeking financial assistance. 

“There is satisfaction in making money from your own hard work. I sleep well knowing that I made that KSh 50 on my own. I don’t know how to beg, and I never want to put myself in a position where I have to,” she stated.

Following the rise of the debt claims, this video has been frequently referenced in discussions about her financial situation.

Claims of Unpaid Loans

Blogger Edgar Obare alleged that Azziad borrowed KSh 400,000 from a close friend, with a promise to repay the amount within three days. 

However, according to these claims, the debt remained unpaid even after several months. 

He also shared purported voice recordings of a distressed individual, alleged to be Azziad, discussing her financial struggles. 

Additionally, TikToker Mary Musyoka claimed that Azziad owes her KSh 300,000. 

These allegations have sparked widespread online discussions about Azziad’s finances and public image.

Her Manager’s Response 

Azziad’s manager, Peter Kawa, addressed the claims in an interview with Ankali Ray in late January 2025.

 “She is okay and with her mom in Germany. I cannot confirm or deny anything about the claims circulating online. Whoever wants to speak can speak,” Kawa stated, adding that Azziad may or may not address the issue herself.
