Kenyan digital creator Mungai Eve has set the record straight after a wave of fake posts went viral on social media, falsely claiming she regrets breaking up with her ex, Director Trevor, and is currently battling depression.
The misleading posts, which quickly spread across TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), alleged that Eve felt abandoned following the highly publicized split earlier this year. Screenshots and edited statements attributed to her stirred online conversations, with some fans speculating about her emotional state.
However, Eve wasted no time in clearing the air. Through her official platforms, she rubbished the claims with humor, branding them as pure fabrications.
“This is very fake news, I haven’t made such statements, I am shocked 🤣🤣,” she wrote in response to one of the viral posts.
On Instagram, the content creator doubled down, laughing off the rumors and questioning how people could believe such narratives:
“😂😂😂 Hata nashangaa yaani mimi nikae chini niongee kitu kama hiyo 🤦♀️.”
Addressing claims that she had fallen into depression, Eve firmly rejected the notion:
“😂😂😂 God forbid.”
Her bold response shows she is unfazed by the ongoing gossip and speculation surrounding her personal life. Instead, she has chosen to treat the false rumors with humor and positivity.
The Mungai Eve–Director Trevor breakup continues to be one of the most talked-about celebrity splits in Kenya’s digital space. The duo, who built a successful YouTube channel together, went their separate ways earlier in 2025, sparking endless debate and divided fan opinions.
While gossip pages attempt to push a narrative of regret and depression, Eve’s lighthearted responses suggest she is focused on moving forward and not letting social media pressure define her story.
S&P Global Ratings Upgrades Kenya to “B” (Stable Outlook)
On August 22, 2025, S&P Global Ratings raised Kenya’s long-term sovereign rating from B- to B, maintaining a stable outlook
Easing of near-term external liquidity risks, underpinned by strong export performance and sizeable diaspora remittances
Foreign exchange reserves climbed to a record US $11.2 billion by July 2025, up from about US $6.6 billion at the end of 2023
Eurobond operations: A US $1.5 billion issuance in February 2025, alongside a buy-back, significantly cut near-term Eurobond repayments—from US $300 million to US $108 million annually over 2025–2027
Improved domestic funding conditions: The Central Bank of Kenya cut its policy rate by 350 basis points since August 2024, bringing it down to 9.5% by August 2025. This helped reduce 91-day Treasury bill yields from 16% (July 2024) to about 8% (July 2025)
Narrowing current account deficit: From 2.6% of GDP in 2023 to 1.3% in 2024
Additional note: The short-term sovereign rating was affirmed at B, while the transfer and convertibility assessment was upgraded from B to B+, signaling better confidence in Kenya’s currency and capital flow dynamics
In Summary
-
S&P upgraded Kenya to “B” with a stable outlook on August 22, 2025, citing improved liquidity, robust reserves, and successful debt operations.
-
Moody’s improved the outlook to “positive” earlier in January 2025, though the rating remains Caa1.
This signals renewed investor confidence as Kenya navigates liquidity pressures, though maintaining progress will require continued fiscal reform and debt management.
Harambee Stars Players Say Bahati Has Not Fulfilled His KSh 1 Million Promise After Morocco Win
The Harambee Stars camp is buzzing with mixed emotions after their historic 2-1 win over Morocco in the ongoing CHAN 2024 tournament. While Kenyans across the country celebrated the victory, several players have come forward claiming that singer Bahati has not fulfilled his promise of rewarding them with KSh 1 million.
Before the match, Bahati had publicly announced that he would gift the national team the cash incentive if they defeated Morocco, a football powerhouse in Africa. The players say they were motivated by the pledge, but weeks later, no money has been delivered.
“Promises are meant to be kept. We gave our best on the pitch, but now it seems like the word was just for show,” one player anonymously told reporters.
The unfulfilled pledge has sparked mixed reactions among fans on social media, with some accusing Bahati of chasing clout using the national team, while others have urged patience, arguing that he may still honor the promise.
Bahati has yet to respond publicly to the allegations, but football lovers insist that celebrities and public figures should be more responsible with their words, especially when addressing national pride moments like Harambee Stars’ victory.
The win against Morocco was a major milestone for Kenya, boosting hopes of advancing further in the competition. However, the controversy around Bahati’s pledge threatens to overshadow the team’s hard-earned success.
Arsenal Edge Past Manchester United with Narrow 1-0 Victory
Arsenal secured a hard-fought 1-0 win over rivals Manchester United in a thrilling clash that kept fans on the edge of their seats. The game, played at a packed stadium, lived up to its billing as one of the most anticipated fixtures in the Premier League calendar.
The Gunners showed dominance in possession and composure in midfield, with their quick passing and pressing game unsettling United’s rhythm. The breakthrough came in the second half when Arsenal capitalized on a defensive lapse, slotting in the decisive goal that sent the Emirates fans into wild celebrations.
Manchester United, however, were not without their chances. Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes both came close, but Arsenal’s solid defense and an inspired goalkeeper performance ensured that the Red Devils left empty-handed.
This result strengthens Arsenal’s title ambitions, proving once again that Mikel Arteta’s side is capable of grinding out results in tough encounters. For United, it was yet another frustrating night as questions continue to be raised about their consistency and ability to compete at the highest level.
The victory means Arsenal gain three crucial points in the race for the top spots, while United will need to bounce back quickly to avoid losing further ground.
Kenya vs Zambia – The Battle for Group A Glory!
The CHAN 2024 Group A clash between Kenya and Zambia is set for Sunday, August 17, 2025, at Uhuru Park, Nairobi.
This marks a significant moment, as it will be one of the first major competitive international matches hosted at the newly refurbished Uhuru Park since its transformation into a multi-purpose public and events venue. The match carries high stakes for both teams — Kenya will be looking to secure crucial points to keep their qualification hopes alive, while Zambia aims to strengthen their grip on the top spot in the group.
Security and crowd management are expected to be under heavy scrutiny after CAF recently fined the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) over safety breaches during the Morocco fixture at Kasarani, warning that non-compliance could force Kenya to host matches elsewhere.
Fan interest is already high, and with Uhuru Park’s central location, a massive turnout is anticipated, potentially setting a new attendance record for the revamped venue.

Brown Mauzo Sets Boundaries in Co-Parenting: “No Late-Night Calls Unless It’s an Emergency
Coastal singer Brown Mauzo has made it clear that when it comes to co-parenting, there will be no unnecessary late-night phone calls — unless it’s a matter of urgency.
Speaking in a recent interview, Mauzo said that while he values communication for the sake of his children, he believes it should have limits to avoid unnecessary drama or misunderstandings.
“I’m very open to discussions about the kids, but we can’t be calling each other at 1 a.m. for things that can wait until morning,” he stated.
The musician did not specify whether the comment was aimed at his high-profile ex and socialite Vera Sidika, with whom he shares a daughter, or his other baby mamas. This has left fans speculating and fueling gossip across social media.
Mauzo and Vera parted ways in 2023, with both insisting they were committed to peaceful co-parenting. However, his latest statement suggests he wants to draw firmer boundaries moving forward.
The singer also hinted that healthy co-parenting requires respect for each other’s personal space, especially when both parties have moved on with their lives.
CAF Slaps FKF with $50,000 Fine Over Kasarani Safety Lapses
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has fined the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) USD 50,000 (approximately KSh 6.5 million) following multiple safety and security breaches during the CHAN 2024 qualifier between Kenya and Morocco at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani.
The breaches reportedly included overcrowding, poor crowd control, and failure to ensure adequate emergency and evacuation protocols, posing risks to both fans and players.
In addition to the fine, CAF has issued a stern warning to FKF: if Kenya fails to improve safety standards at future home fixtures, the country risks having its matches moved to alternative venues outside Kenya.
The incident comes just days after CAF froze ticket sales for all upcoming games at Kasarani until safety improvements are implemented. The move has sparked debate among fans and stakeholders over stadium management, with many calling for urgent reforms to ensure spectator safety.
The FKF is yet to release an official statement addressing the fine and outlining corrective measures ahead of Kenya’s upcoming home match against Zambia.
Kirinyaga Woman Representative Jane Njeri Maina has said regarding being charged with terrorism
What She Said About Terrorism Charges
MP Njeri Maina has strongly condemned the state’s use of the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) to detain young protesters. She voiced serious concerns over the state branding dissenting youth as “terrorists,” noting the alarming detention practices:
-
She highlighted that those charged under POTA can be held without trial for up to 360 days, making it a tool of prolonged detention.
- She called it “a glaring concern” that young people—including those from underprivileged backgrounds—are being remanded in maximum-security prisons, where they’re isolated, burdened by harsh conditions, and mixed with convicted offenders.
- Maina criticized the use of Kahawa Law Courts, which were originally established for high-profile anti-terrorism cases with international support, to process ordinary protest-related cases—thus bypassing the ordinary judicial system.
- In her view, this approach—criminalizing legitimate civic expression—constitutes an affront to the Constitution, particularly Article 37, which guarantees the right to protest
-
Her Actions to Support Gen-Z Protesters
Beyond her public statements, Njeri Maina has taken concrete steps to assist detained protesters:
-
She’s offered pro bono legal representation to over 150 Gen-Z individuals arrested during the June 25 and Saba Saba (July 7) protests.
- She has been physically present at Kahawa Law Courts almost daily, representing detainees from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., often with minimal breaks.
- Maina launched and continues to lead a fundraising campaign to cover bail costs—ranging from KSh 50,000 to KSh 300,000—for protesters whose families can’t afford it. She clarified that the funds are being raised transparently via designated pay-bill and MPESA numbers.
- As of mid-July 2025, her campaign had raised approximately KSh 997,527 from Kenyans and the diaspora
