YouTube terminates Andrew Kibe's channel days after hosting Khalif Kairo, Morara Kebaso

ntroversial digital creator Andrew Kibe has found himself at odds with YouTube after the streaming platform terminated his latest channel. The termination comes just days after Kibe hosted viral livestream interviews with embattled car businessman Khalif Kairo and former presidential aspirant Morara Kebaso. Taking to his X page, a disgruntled Kibe expressed disbelief over the ban, questioning what community guidelines he had violated. "This is extremely malicious, @YouTube. The channel had only two interviews. What community guidelines did I violate? The matrix is alive and kicking," he posted, adding, "Thank Wanyos for @elonmusk otherwise we would all be screwed by this neocolonialist."

Because of this we have removed your channels from YouTube." The platform explained that the move was part of their responsibility to maintain a safe space for all users, particularly in cases of serious or repeat violations. They, however, provided Kibe with an option to appeal the decision. "We know this is probably very upsetting news but it's our job to make sure that YouTube is a safe place for all. If we think a channel severely violates our policies, we take it down... If you believe we made the wrong call, you can appeal," the message continued. In response to Kibe's frustration, YouTube's official X handle replied with steps on how he could contest the decision: "The first step here is to appeal... You can appeal in Studio or via this form: https://goo.gle/46ziFf1," he wrote. Despite the claim of violations, the two livestream interviews were widely seen as motivational and conversational. In one segment, Khalif Kairo spoke about how criticism and "haters" fuel his growth. "This world has over 7 billion people, na unaweza amua kuwa farmer, content creator, or even a housewife, lakini umeamua kuwa hater," Kairo said. "My message is keep hating because that is what fuels you. I might be going to sleep or postpone something then I remember that I was incarcerated and they laughed at me. Ivo ndio tunapiga 48-hour job non-stop." Morara Kebaso, on the other hand, shared a personal story about how a Kenyan couple living in Canada offered him a house and a car after he declared his interest in politics. "I gave the house back after I realised I couldn't go on with politics but kept the car," Kebaso revealed. He also reflected on his now-viral "Vampire Diaries" show, where he dissected issues of failed infrastructure and unfulfilled government projects.
