Popular TikTok content creator Tizian Savage has candidly opened up about the challenges he is currently facing, revealing that his financial situation has worsened and may force him back to the boda boda business. The digital influencer, known for his humor and flamboyance online, shared that things are no longer as rosy as they once seemed.
Tizian alleged that some individuals have been tarnishing his name and actively discouraging gifters from sending him money on TikTok, his primary source of income. The content creator claimed that this malicious behavior has severely impacted his livelihood. “It’s like people want me to go back to the nduthi hustle,” he said, adding that he might have to reserve KSh 30,000 to reclaim a parking spot for his motorbike if things don’t improve.
He also revealed a disturbing pattern involving men who had seemingly offered him brand marketing opportunities, only to use those opportunities to make unwanted advances. According to Tizian, he has encountered multiple men who pretended to be interested in professional collaborations but later confessed to being romantically attracted to him. One even went as far as inviting him to a farm and discussing contracts, only to later send him messages indicating personal interest.
Amid these frustrations, Tizian expressed openness to becoming a “kept man” if the right wealthy woman came along. He said he would be ready to commit to a relationship and give up his TikTok presence if necessary, as long as the woman was willing to financially support him. “If you want to marry me and you can take care of me, just DM me and I will behave,” he said, adding that he is in a difficult space and open to any job or offer that would help him get back on his feet.
Tizian’s emotional revelations have reignited conversations about the dark side of influencer culture—where not all attention translates into income, and professional boundaries are often blurred. Despite having worked with brands in the past, he claims many have failed to pay him, exacerbating his financial stress.
This isn’t the first time Tizian’s personal life has been in the spotlight. In a previous incident, his ex-girlfriend Kizzy accused him of taking advantage of her financially while cheating with another woman. Tizian denied the allegations, claiming that Kizzy, who resides in the U.S., simply wanted a romantic relationship with him. The fallout from that drama left a cloud over his reputation, which may still be affecting his brand today.
As the influencer economy continues to shift, Tizian’s story reflects a growing reality for many content creators who face instability behind the scenes. For now, he remains hopeful that a new opportunity—or a supportive partner—will come his way before he’s forced to return to his previous hustle on two wheels.
