Controversial YouTuber Vincent Mboya has claimed that his M-Pesa account has reached its maximum capacity and is now seeking to raise the limit.

On Sunday, May 18, 2025, Mboya took to his Instagram stories to share a screenshot showing his M-Pesa balance at KSh 492,000. In the post, he revealed his desire to increase his transaction limit to KSh 2 million and appealed to his fans and followers for assistance.

Known for frequently showcasing his lavish lifestyle and celebrating his financial milestones online, Mboya asked anyone familiar with the process of increasing the M-Pesa limit to reach out to him via direct message.

“My mpesa is full. Does someone know how I can add a limit on my number to like 2m? DM me please !!” he said.

Currently, the Mpesa wallet limit in Kenya is Ksh500,000, a figure revised by Safaricom in 2023 from the previous cap of Ksh300,000. With Ksh492,000 in his account, Mboya seems to be just a few thousand shillings shy of the maximum.

“I started fixing my teeth. I spent 8K Canadian dollars on this,” he wrote in the video.

Recently, Mboya bragged that he was losing fluency in Swahili, a year after relocating to Canada.

On Sunday, April 20, 2025, the controversial YouTuber broke his silence through a video shared on his Instagram stories, saying he had taken a break from social media. He also addressed fans who had been inquiring about his absence.

Struggling to speak in Swahili, Mboya acknowledged his difficulty with the language and apologised for his grammatical errors, admitting he was gradually forgetting how to speak it.

“I want to take one minute of your time to address where I have been. Let me address you in Swahili for every Kenyan to understand. I am so sorry my Swahili is bad, I have forgotten it completely,” he said.

He added:

“Habari yenu Wakenya, nimeskia, you are looking for me. Nataka kuwaambia I’m doing okay, nimekuwa busy. I have not been online. I have tried. Anyway, I have been very busy, but I’m coming back very soon.”
