Kenyan TikTok star King Tizian, known for his captivating content, has recently faced increased scrutiny online and even within his family.

Tizian’s unique style has sparked speculation about his personal life, particularly regarding his sexuality. This was fueled by his association with the late Brian Chira and their collaborative videos. Fans were speculating that the Tik-Toker was in a relationship with Chira when he was still alive; but they eschewed from talking about it.

But the Tik-Toker divulged in a recent interview with Radio Maisha how the rumours surrounding his sexuality began.

“There’s a video we did, and he (Chira) was twerking on the video, so that’s where the rumor started,” Tizian shared.

Despite societal pressures and concerns from loved ones, Tizian emphasizes that his friendships are genuine and his identity unwavering.

“My family was worried, but I reassured them it’s just friendship,” he stated.

Another hot topic – the use of filters in his videos. Tizian readily admits to using them at times, dismissing accusations of being disingenuous.

“Everyone uses filters! Why wouldn’t I?” he said. “They’re readily available, and there’s no shame in using them.”

Tizian also opened up about his life before TikTok fame, revealing past jobs as a butcher. The butchery business did not do quite well and he ended up moving to the boda boda business. At his stage in Nakuru, he gained his popularity after a viral video showing his good looks.

He later came up with his own Tik-Tok account that garnered thousands of following. This has been one of his biggest platforms that earn him some money.
