Popular TikTok star and media personality Azziad Nasenya is once again in the spotlight—this time for finally settling a debt she allegedly owed fellow content creator Tileh Pacbro. Tileh shared an M-Pesa transaction showing Azziad repaying him KSh 100,000, over a year after he had lent her the money.
Tileh went public with the issue while chatting with fans during an Instagram Q&A. Responding to a follower’s question about how he handles people who owe him, Tileh didn’t mince his words. He explained that the last two years had cost him several friendships because of his straightforward approach to accountability and mutual respect. He said the real problem wasn’t the money but the disrespect he experienced in the process.
“The past two years have seen me lose a lot of friendships due to treating everyone the same way they treat me. Some of you are selfish. The money is not the problem; it’s the lack of respect,” he wrote on his InstaStory.
Tileh cautioned anyone planning to criticize him for exposing the matter. He challenged them to try lending a large sum of money and patiently waiting over a year to recover it. “Before you come to my DM with your advice, please be ready to loan me a similar amount and wait for a year. The same way I help is the same way I talk,” he added.
This isn’t the first time Azziad has been accused of failing to repay borrowed money. Another TikToker, Mary Musyoka, previously claimed Azziad owed her KSh 300,000. Musyoka said she gave the money after Azziad approached her for help, but repeated attempts to recover the loan had failed, prompting her to go public.
Despite facing criticism over the unpaid debts, Azziad has maintained a luxurious lifestyle on social media, showcasing international trips, stays at high-end hotels, and branded deals. This has led to online speculation that she may be living beyond her means.
In a recent clapback, Azziad told critics she was unfazed by the accusations and would never explain herself. She hinted that people had not seen her “real” lifestyle and that she preferred to keep certain things private to avoid further backlash.
Her remarks sparked mixed reactions, with some calling her proud and evasive, while others defended her right to privacy. But for many, the repeated debt accusations have raised questions about financial integrity among influencers in Kenya’s digital entertainment space.
As the drama unfolds, it serves as a cautionary tale about mixing friendships and money—and the growing accountability movement in influencer culture.
