TikTok personality Baba Talisha has announced his decision to never coordinate another online fundraiser similar to the one he organized for Brian Chira, citing the controversy surrounding it.
The fundraiser, initially meant to commemorate the late social media influencer's memory, veered off course unexpectedly. Baba Talisha found himself accused of misappropriating funds, leading to allegations of financial mismanagement, embezzlement, and dubious financial dealings, tarnishing the entire endeavor.
In the accounting of Brian Chira's funeral funds, Baba Talisha, the driving force behind the effort, came under scrutiny as Chira's grandmother accused him of withholding the KSh 8 million. In an emotional TikTok livestream, the father of one responded to the allegations, presenting receipts of the expenditures. Through tearful eyes, he expressed feelings of frustration, disappointment, and exhaustion amidst the unfolding drama.

This Is Why Baba Talisha Regrets
"Nimeinua Mikono," Baba T states. "If I explain myself, they say I am talking too much and seeking sympathy. If I keep quiet, they accuse me of wrongdoing. What am I supposed to do?" he questioned.
Baba Talisha revealed that ever since leading Chira's fundraiser, he's been inundated with requests for assistance from numerous individuals. However, he lamented that many become upset and hurl insults at him when he declines their appeals. Following the recent turmoil, Baba Talisha made a commitment to prioritize his content creation and personal development.
"Nimeinua mikono! Mkinipata nikichangisha tena mnichune maskio (I have surrendered. If you find me holding another fundraiser please pinch my ears)," he said.

Despite the tumultuous weekend of negative attention, there's a silver lining for Baba Talisha: he'll be grinning all the way to the bank. While detailing the expenditures for Chira's funeral, TikTok gifter King Roso generously sent him 10 lions. In TikTok terms, a lion is valued at KSh 40,000, and a universe is worth KSh 60,000, resulting in the content creator going to bed with over KSh 400,000 in his pocket.
