Some netizens were however not impressed with the strategy that yielded the meeting with Drury with some faulting the Kenyan content creator and pointing out that there are other ways to secure a meeting.

“Please stop this. You are only shaming yourself - your dignity. There are many other ways to find Peter Drury.” Quipped Farah Ali.

Others noted that Arap Uria was simply plying his trade of creating content and saw nothing wrong with his plea to Drury.

“You are behind, Peter recognized him long time ago. Peter actually told him that he hopes they will meet one day. Relax isikuwashe” Wrote @Jessca Kosgey.

“To the haters, Drury is a world icon. Arap Uria uses his voice to create content. Now he will meet the guy, possibly do a skit together. Drury's followers will now be Araps follower. The guy is going global. Keep begging Arap. If it is what it takes. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾” Added @Mwaura 24.

The duo is among thousands who are in Qatar for the ongoing FIFA 2022 World Cup.
