Kenyan content creator and YouTuber Thee Pluto has revealed the reason why he sank into depression at such an early stage.

Speaking through his social media page, he said that he was depressed because people were accusing him of being an online scammer. He said that he wouldn’t even be able to settle down with his family because of how disturbed he was, resorting to finding escapism elsewhere.

“I sank into depression. I remember leaving my family and travelling just to be alone; it wasn’t easy.”

Although he vowed to never be in the position he found himself in, Pluto said that an anonymous person decided to break down all his good reputation by hiring campus students to tarnish his name by defaming him and giving out false information about him.

He said he got it under control moments later after having a discussion with his close friend, who walked him through how to get it under control.

“You guys won’t imagine someone came up with a budget to tarnish my name. Person X looked for campus students (broken and desperate for money) and fed them false information to tarnish my name.

Their task was simple: to storm my pages or anywhere my name is mentioned, call me a scammer, and say shitty things. After finding out, I was advised to let it go, and I did, as y’all can imagine.” Pluto’s statement read:

Pluto is known for being in the streets sourcing for couples and trying to see if they are loyal to each other by looking through both of their phones and reading messages, an activity he calls ‘Sanitization’. He also does trading, which he has been posting on his status, urging people to join.
