Kenyan content creator and political aspirant Wilson Muirani Gathoni, popularly known as Jaymo Ule Msee, has apologised to Gen Z over his past political remarks while revealing that his political choices and financial mistakes have left him struggling financially.

In a lengthy statement shared with his followers, Jaymo admitted that he had lost direction while pursuing political ambitions, drifting away from the creative work that initially earned him popularity.

He acknowledged that he had used his platform to make political remarks that hurt some of the people who supported his content, particularly young Kenyans who had followed his work.

“I lost my way. Somewhere between the opinions, arguments, ego and political hallucinations, I lost touch with the creator you welcomed into your lives,” he said.

He specifically apologised to Gen Z over remarks he made on June 25, 2025, admitting that he had failed to appreciate the concerns and pain expressed by young people.

“To Gen Z: I sincerely apologise for my insensitive remarks on 25 June 2025. I failed to give your pain and concerns the respect they deserved. I should have listened. I was wrong.”

Jaymo also extended his apology to other followers who felt offended by his political videos, taking responsibility for his words and decisions.

“To everyone I hurt through my political videos: I am sorry. You deserved more care from me. I own my words and choices. Forgiveness is yours to give in your own time; changing my behaviour is my responsibility,” he added.

Beyond addressing his political past, Jaymo disclosed that he was going through a difficult financial period, which he partly attributed to his political decisions and personal financial mistakes.

“Today, I am super broke. My political choices and financial mistakes have cost me deeply. I cannot blame politics for everything when I made decisions too,” he revealed.

The content creator described the emotional difficulty of struggling financially while still being recognised by members of the public.

“There is a particular silence that comes when people recognise your face, but you are privately wondering how to put your life back together.

“I have been living in that silence,” he said.

Jaymo said he was now seeking financial support as he attempts to rebuild his life and return to content creation.

He appealed to well-wishers to contribute whatever they could comfortably afford towards his financial recovery and creative comeback.

He shared his M-Pesa details as follows:

However, he emphasised that financial contributions were not the only way people could support him, adding that followers could also help by watching and sharing his content and encouraging his comeback.

As part of his return to entertainment, Jaymo announced a new project titled Inside the Life of a Prodigal Creator, a 20-episode series exploring his personal experiences and lessons from life away from the camera.

The series is scheduled to premiere on Monday, November 9, 2026.

“Expect drama, ridiculous situations, uncomfortable truths and the humour we find while trying to survive ourselves. Stories about what happens after the smile, after the applause, after you press ‘stop recording’,” he announced.

He said the experiences had taught him important lessons about money, ego, influence and losing sight of one’s purpose, which he hoped to share with young people through the project.

Addressing critics who may still be unconvinced by his apology, Jaymo acknowledged that words alone would not restore the trust he had lost.

“To those who criticised me: I hear you. I understand that this appeal alone cannot restore your trust. Let me earn it through what I do next,” he said.

He concluded by asking his supporters to give him another chance as he attempts to rebuild his creative career.
