Director Trevor has sparked controversy by criticizing Kenyan female influencers for focusing excessively on sexual content.
Taking to Instagram, Trevor expressed his concerns, suggesting that this trend could hinder influencers’ potential to make a meaningful impact on society.
“It’s worrying that many Kenyan female influencers prioritize creating sexual content for their social media platforms. This focus can overshadow their ability to contribute positively to wider societal discussions,” Trevor wrote.
In response, Trevor’s ex-girlfriend, Mungai Eve, addressed the issue during an interview, emphasizing the importance of personal happiness.
Eve diplomatically sidestepped the controversy, stating, “I haven’t seen Trevor’s comments, but I believe everyone should do what makes them happy. Life is too short. I’m not one to dwell on past relationships. It’s over, so we move on.”
Speculation quickly arose among fans, with many suspecting Trevor’s comments were directed at a particular individual.
However, Trevor clarified his intentions in an interview with Fagilia TV on July 25, 2024, asserting that his remarks were not aimed at anyone specific but rather at a growing trend in the industry.
“My statement was meant to highlight a trend… Many female content creators today are sexualizing their content. While this may attract attention, it’s problematic if all your content revolves around this theme,” Trevor explained.
Trevor further distinguished between contextually appropriate content and excessive sexualization, using beach photos as an example.
“Taking photos in swimwear at the beach is perfectly reasonable; you can’t wear a suit or gown at the beach. But constantly creating suggestive content is problematic,” he noted.
The director also emphasized the importance of professionalism in the evolving content creation industry, particularly for attracting corporate partnerships.
“The industry is changing… Many opportunities are emerging. Corporates are looking to work with creators, but if your content is entirely sexualized, they won’t want to collaborate with you,” Trevor stated.
Amidst rumors that his remarks targeted Mungai Eve, Trevor reiterated that his message was not aimed at her or any specific individual.
He stressed that his observations were based on a broader analysis of content trends. “Mungai Eve is just one of many creators in Kenya… There are so many people doing this. To say my message was for her is incorrect. I study a lot of content, and even if it were about her, I wouldn’t know because she’s blocked me. I can’t comment on someone I can’t see,” Trevor clarified.
Trevor’s comments have sparked a wider debate within the Kenyan social media community, with influencers and fans discussing the balance between creativity and professionalism in content creation.
