Kenya’s content creator, Director Trevor has defended his comment about female content creators or influencers in Kenya that produced eroticise content.
In his Instagram stories, Trevor expressed worry that the focus on suggestive content could overshadow their potential to contribute positively to society.
“It’s concerning that many Kenyan female influencers are predominantly focusing on creating sexual content for their social media platforms as it can overshadow their potential to contribute positively to broader discussions and impact society,” he wrote.
Meanwhile, Trevor’s ex-girlfriend, Mungai Eve in an interview and was asked for her thoughts on the matter. She responded diplomatically, emphasising individual happiness.
“Unfortunately, I did not see that, but what I would say is if what you are doing makes you happy, do whatever makes you happy. Life is too short. I am not the kind of person to go around talking about my past relationships. It ended, so we moved forward,” Eve commented.
Trevor’s remarks have sparked speculation among fans, with many believing his comments targeted a specific individual.
However, Trevor clarified his intentions in an interview with Fagilia TV on July 25.
He emphasised that his statement was not aimed at any particular person but rather addressed a broader trend.
“That statement meant this… Most female content creators now create content. If you are a creator, sometimes the content sells. But now it is wrong for you to create all your content,” Trevor explained.
Trevor elaborated on the distinction, pointing out that context matters, such as taking pictures at the beach in appropriate attire.
He, however, criticised the excessive suggestive content.
“If you go to the beach to take a picture it is very reasonable coz you can’t take a picture wearing a suit or a gown… You are at the beach. It’s not bad,” he said.
Trevor also highlighted the evolving nature of the content creation industry and the importance of maintaining professionalism to attract corporate partnerships.
“Industry is evolving… Many things are coming up. We have corporates who are looking to work with creators, but if you do all of your content like that, then they will lack people to work with,” he stated.
Trevor also addressed the rumours about targeting Mungai Eve, stressing that his message was not directed at her or any specific individual. He emphasised his broad perspective on content creation.k
