Kenyan TikTok sensation Alma Mutheu has recently become the center of attention on social media after publicly airing her frustrations with her boyfriend and fellow content creator, Gift Musiq.
Alma, known for her engaging and humorous videos, expressed during an interview that she was “tired” of financially supporting Gift, hinting at the possibility of a breakup to encourage him to become more independent.
Alma revealed that their relationship took a turn when Gift Musiq moved in with her, which led to frequent arguments, particularly over financial responsibilities.
She explained that she felt burdened by Gift’s lack of contribution, making it difficult for her to continue shouldering the financial load.
“I feel like Gift needs to step up and start working. I’ve done enough to support him, but I can’t keep doing this. Maybe some time apart will motivate him to take his life seriously,” she candidly shared.
In response, Gift Musiq defended himself, explaining that his creative contributions to their content helped maintain Alma’s popularity.
While admitting that he didn’t contribute financially, he argued that his ideas and collaboration were key to the success of their brand. This back-and-forth sparked a wider conversation online, with fans divided on who was right.
Some netizens accused Alma of being insensitive, arguing that relationships are about mutual support. Critics claimed that airing their personal struggles in public humiliated Gift, with one user commenting,
“If you really love someone, you don’t air their struggles in public. Alma could have talked to Gift privately instead of dragging him online.”
Another echoed the sentiment, saying, “Creative partnerships sometimes mean one person supports the other. Gift is clearly trying, and Alma should respect that.”
However, many rallied behind Alma, applauding her for speaking out on an issue that resonates with many women.
Supporters argue that she had been unfairly exploited in the relationship and deserved a partner who contributed equally.
One fan posted, “Why is it always the woman’s job to support a man? Alma has a right to demand better for herself.”
Another added, “It’s about time we normalize holding men accountable. Gift needs to get his life together.”
The debate also sparked discussions about the broader issues of financial independence and gender roles in relationships. Some users emphasized that relationships should be based on more than just financial contributions.
One person tweeted, “Relationships are about more than just money. Gift clearly supports Alma in other ways, and people shouldn’t judge him based on finances alone.”
As the controversy continues to unfold, both Alma and Gift have yet to directly address the criticism.
However, their situation has sparked a larger conversation about modern relationship dynamics, especially in the age of social media, where personal issues are often aired publicly.
Issues such as financial independence, creative partnerships, and the ethics of sharing private matters online have become central topics in the debate.
While Alma hinted that a short separation could help Gift focus on making money and pushing himself to do more, fans remain divided on whether the couple should reconcile or if Alma should prioritize her own well-being moving forward.
For now, their saga continues to capture the attention of many, as it sheds light on the complexities of love, finances, and personal growth in today’s digital age.
