“You don’t respect my brand” – Azziad Nasenya tells Mwende Macharia on radio station.
Media personality Mwende Macharia has given her side of the story of her interview with popular TikToker Azziad Nasenya that went wrong.
The incident, which took place on Wednesday saw Azziad storming out of the studio in protest.
“I’m not comfortable talking about this,” she said. “We agreed not to discuss this.”
Macharia persisted, asking Nasenya if she could provide any details about her firing. Nasenya refused to answer, and she eventually walked out of the studio.
The incident has sparked a debate about the boundaries of journalistic inquiry and personal privacy. Some people have argued that Macharia was within her rights to ask Nasenya about her firing, while others have said that she violated Nasenya’s privacy by asking about a sensitive topic that they had agreed not to discuss.
Speaking exclusively to Nairobi News, the vivacious radio presenter revealed that she had invited Azziad to appear on her show segment, called ‘Inspirational Wednesday,’ which focuses on showcasing the achievements of young individuals who have excelled in various areas of life.
“As one of those people who has achieved great success in her craft, I wanted Azziad to share her story with our audience,” Mwende explained.
Nasenya has not commented on the incident, but she has since shared a post on social media in which she thanked her fans for their support.
The incident highlights the delicate balance between a journalist’s responsibility to ask probing questions and respecting the interviewee’s boundaries. It is also a reminder that social media can be a powerful tool for people to express their opinions and share their stories.
