As the most followed TikToker in Kenya, Moya's ban has sent ripples across the TikTok community.

He highlighted the concern that such actions could set a precedent where established accounts could be abruptly removed without warning or proper explanation, causing distress among content creators.

Moya added, "Since I am the most followed TikToker, this action makes other TikTokers feel like one can just open an account, grow it, and then when it reaches its peak, it is taken down."

Expressing his frustration further, Moya emphasised the need for TikTok to implement a transparent and effective strategy before taking such drastic actions.

He noted that his account received no prior warnings, and he believes he did not violate any community guidelines.

Despite the setback, Moya remains optimistic about the future. He assured his fans that he and his team are determined to bounce back stronger.

"My fans are disappointed, but don't worry, we will bounce back strong soon... If it doesn't return, we will start over again. We have the fan base to start over again," he stated confidently.
