Kenyan digital content creator and entrepreneur Thee Pluto has spoken out against persistent speculation surrounding the people he is often spotted with in public.

In a candid Instagram story, Pluto clarified that appearances can be misleading and urged fans to stop assuming that every individual seen by his side is romantically linked to him.

“Not everyone I’m seen with is my partner,” he wrote.

Pluto explained that his lifestyle as both a businessman and public figure naturally brings him into contact with a wide range of people—friends, colleagues, and family included.

“Just because I’m with someone right now and you’re trying to uncover her face doesn’t mean that everyone you see me with is someone I’m dating,” he stated.

According to Pluto, such assumptions not only distort his image but also create unnecessary pressure for those around him.

As one of Kenya’s most talked-about influencers, Thee Pluto has become a constant subject for blogs and online gossip. But he revealed that the scrutiny is beginning to interfere with his work.

He recalled how an important meeting had to be postponed when a client expressed fears about being photographed with him, worrying their face might end up splashed across gossip pages.

“I don’t want people to feel afraid that their faces might end up on gossip sites just because they were seen with me,” Pluto lamented.

The episode underscores how celebrity culture in Kenya doesn’t just affect stars—it can also spill over into the lives of associates, business partners, and even family members.

Pluto voiced concern for the discomfort his companions often face when caught up in speculation. He noted that some people may even avoid meeting him in public to protect their own privacy.

By speaking out, he hopes to set clearer boundaries and remind both fans and bloggers that celebrities are entitled to respect and privacy, just like anyone else.

His remarks quickly drew attention online, sparking debate among fans. Supporters praised him for addressing the issue and standing up for his right to separate personal matters from business.

“Respect his boundaries—gossip ruins lives,” one fan commented.

Critics, however, argued that scrutiny is simply part of being a public figure. “Fame comes with attention, whether you like it or not,” wrote another.

The divided opinions reflect a broader conversation about privacy, celebrity culture, and the balance between public curiosity and personal boundaries.

Pluto’s situation mirrors that of many Kenyan entertainers who constantly grapple with invasive gossip that overshadows their achievements.

Having built a career at the intersection of content creation and entrepreneurship, he finds himself navigating the blurred line between professional growth and personal space.

For Pluto, the message is clear: being in the public eye should not mean forfeiting one’s right to privacy—or the privacy of those around them.
