•Tiktoker Kelvin Kinuthia is now 21 years old. Kinuthia has urged people to stop assuming his sexuality.

Popular Tiktok star Kelvin Kinuthia has turned 21 years old.

He dedicated an encouraging message to himself that read, "As I am becoming more mature every year, I am starting to realize one great truth. Legends don’t come on this earth in great numbers. They are rare, just like me. Happy birthday to myself!"

The Kenyan is a male who cross-dresses, and for this, he has been trolled.

A few months ago, he urged people to stop assuming his sexuality

Kinuthia said he has never spoken publicly about it and Kenyans should wait for the day he will declare his gender identity. “I want people to stop assuming my sexuality.

There is no one I have talked to about my sexuality, no one knows, so let it stay that way. Then there's this one thing when you shoot a video with someone all of a sudden you are dating them, people should stop insinuating and wait for people to speak,” said Kinuthia.

He said that he was negatively affected after he went viral because his lease was cancelled and he had to house hunt.

“The agents cancelled the contract and returned my deposit after the story of eating fare went viral,” he added.

In September last year, the content creator denied claims that he was arrested for posing as a woman and acquiring money under false pretences.

It was alleged he ate fare worth Sh344,000 and he used the money to go on a vacay, shopping and a brand new phone.

The charge sheet for the individual accused of eating fare read, “Justin Kioko, a resident of Machakos is in police custody for obtaining money through pretense.

The 31-year-old allegedly received Sh344,500 via M-Pesa. The money was to cover a two-way ticket, shopping and for her to buy a brand new phone,” he said.

Kinuthia disputed the claims, clarifying that he is not from Machakos further denying any association with the story.
