Popular Kenyan Master of Ceremonies MC Gogo has candidly opened up about the heavy toll social media fame took on his mental health. The star revealed that relentless online trolling and criticism became so severe that it pushed him to take a drastic and necessary break from the digital world.

MC Gogo, celebrated for his energetic voice and massive online presence, confessed that the constant stream of negativity became suffocating and made his public life unbearable.

The persistent online abuse led to serious mental distress, forcing him into self-imposed isolation. He became deeply anxious about public appearances and struggled with social interactions in real life.

“Honestly, I was spending most of my days just confined indoors. I literally wouldn’t step out of the house. I felt I couldn’t face people,” he admitted.

He felt that every performance, every outfit, and every social media post was being scrutinized with malicious intent. For a public figure whose career depends on public appearances, this inability to leave home was crippling.

The MC realized that chasing engagement and approval online was a losing battle if it meant sacrificing his peace of mind. He made the conscious decision to step away for his well-being.

“My mental health was more important than my social media numbers. I had to choose myself over the algorithm,” he stated.

MC Gogo’s experience sheds light on a serious, widespread issue in the entertainment industry. His story mirrors a growing crisis where the line between critique and cruelty is often lost, underscoring the severe real-world anxiety that online harassment can cause. Stepping away allowed him to reset, focusing on the core of his career away from the digital noise.
