TikTok star Nyako, who was awarded the Best Content Creator Award in Nyanza for 2024, has shared a personal update with her followers about the difficulties she’s currently facing. In a recent video, Nyako revealed that she is now working as a butcher to support herself. This candid admission comes after a period of financial instability that has left her grappling with unexpected challenges. “I’m working as a butcher now. I asked for rent assistance, and you saw me as useless, so I went and got a job,” she shared, showing her determination to make a living despite the struggles.
Her decision to speak openly about her situation has sparked mixed reactions online. Some fans have praised her for taking responsibility and finding work, while others have pointed out the contrast between her current reality and the glamorous lifestyle she once showcased on social media. At the peak of her fame, Nyako posted videos of herself enjoying a luxurious life in Germany, cooking elaborate meals, and living what seemed like a carefree, comfortable existence. However, things took a turn when a fellow Kenyan reportedly reported her to German authorities for allegedly living in government-subsidized housing despite her apparent financial stability. This led to her eviction, setting off a series of events that have put her in a difficult financial position.
“I need gifts because I’ve decided to provide for myself. I don’t want money from the German government,” Nyako said in a video, emphasizing her desire to stand on her own and not rely on public assistance. She also shared that her current situation is far from easy: “Since morning, I’ve only had tea. I just left work and I’m starving. I don’t have my own home yet, so I’m staying with a friend who barely cooks. Until I move into my own place, I have to rely on fast food.”
In a recent TikTok live stream, Nyako reached out to her followers for help with paying her rent. Her openness about her struggles has sparked a larger conversation about the pressures influencers face and the challenges that come with maintaining a public image. Despite the difficulties, Nyako’s willingness to share her story shows her resilience and determination to rebuild
