Kenyan TikToker Lenzah Ademba, popularly recognized as DJ Shiti’s “daughter,” has captivated social media audiences with her humorous skits and infectious energy. At just 20 years old, the content creator has emerged as one of Kenya’s fastest-rising digital comedians.
A Passion Ignited by Laughter
Lenzah’s journey into comedy began long before her online fame. She spent hours watching and learning from established content creators, mastering timing, expression, and storytelling. Despite her enthusiasm, she faced a significant hurdle — she didn’t own a smartphone. Determined to pursue her dream, Lenzah used part of her HELB loan to purchase her first phone, launching the start of her content creation career.
Going Viral and Gaining Mentorship
Her major breakthrough came when videos mimicking DJ Shiti’s voice and comedic expressions went viral on TikTok and Instagram. Her uncanny ability to replicate his humor instantly won her fans and caught the attention of DJ Shiti himself. Recognizing her talent, he affectionately called her his “daughter” and became the only person he follows on TikTok, further boosting her visibility.
Lenzah’s viral moment peaked during Bien’s open verse challenge for the hit song All My Enemies Are Suffering. Performing in DJ Shiti’s signature tone, she humorously rapped before cheekily requesting a reward from Bien. DJ Shiti reposted the video with the caption, “Bien, what do you say about my daughter?” — a move that propelled Lenzah into national fame.
Balancing Education and Comedy
Despite her rising profile, Lenzah remains grounded. She is a third-year student at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), pursuing a degree in Public Administration and Leadership. Hailing from Kabondo Kasipul and the youngest of six siblings, she credits her family’s support for keeping her motivated and focused.
Embracing Her Signature Style
Interestingly, Lenzah’s “DJ Shiti voice” was never intentional. She explained that it became her trademark after fans pointed out the resemblance, which she embraced wholeheartedly. This unique style, combined with her growing fan base and mentorship from DJ Shiti, positions her as a distinct voice in Kenya’s comedy landscape.
Lenzah Ademba’s story is a testament to creativity, determination, and the power of turning small opportunities — even a student loan — into life-changing achievements. With her humor, talent, and dedication, she is shaping a promising future in Kenya’s digital comedy scene.
