A short clip from Wepesi’s recent appearance on the Obinna Show has stirred a digital storm across Kenyan social media, igniting speculation, satire, and spiritual warnings. The 41-second clip, which has since gone viral, shows Wepesi alongside a mysterious older woman and for some netizens, the imagery was enough to ignite suspicions of dark forces at play.
It all began when X user @Tevin_IsOmondi suggested Wepesi was under a sinister spell. “Mshajua ‘bibi’ ya Wepesi ni ‘shosho’… Yeye ni wale wanaitwa ‘the queen mother/devo,’” he posted. “Wepesi is under a spell & price for that money is his youth, soul, spirit, bl00d.” He also alleged that the duo was “displaying satanic signs” during the show.
What followed was a whirlwind of reactions part fear, part mockery. Slim Toto👑 quipped, “Umefanya Nafikiria Zile Movie Za Nigeria Za Masheto… Mumama ndio anarecruit vijana,” likening the moment to Nollywood’s famous occult-themed thrillers.
Others leaned into spiritual interpretation. @king_blakess wrote, “If you’re spiritually awakened am sure you can tell something is off about this lady. Energy never lie.”
Still, not everyone bought into the satanic frenzy. User @TheQanesah offered a more grounded and sarcastic take: “These are just our kawaida hood druggies but wakenya ni nani… ooohhh satanism, ooohhhh illuminati… hata Mwepesi haezi oleka in peace.”
The incident has once again highlighted Kenya’s lingering obsession with supernatural conspiracies, a legacy arguably rooted in decades of “Afro Sinema” films. These homegrown thrillers, featuring powerful old women, blood pacts, and spiritual warfare, have shaped how many Kenyans interpret fame and eccentric behavior.
Neither Wepesi nor the woman in the clip now humorously dubbed “the queen mother” has publicly responded to the claims.
Whether a case of overactive imaginations or genuine concern, the incident shows how quickly narratives can spiral online. In Nairobi’s digital age, even the smallest moment can be cast in the shadow of the occult.
