Kenyan comedian Smart Joker has shared the reason why he doesn’t flaunt his lifestyle online despite being a popular comedian.

He recently opened up about his decision not to flaunt his wealth online, revealing that his fear of slipping into depression plays a significant role in his choice. “Sitaki Kua Depressed’

In an age where social media is often flooded with displays of luxury and success, Smart Joker has taken a different approach. He explained that while many celebrities and influencers regularly showcase their affluent lifestyles, the pressure to constantly present a picture-perfect life can lead to a dangerous mental space.

He explained further, stating that flaunting what you have online means that the day you will lack you will definitely be on your own as you are less likely to receive help from the public because you already painted a shiny picture and set class already.

“Siku utakwama? Siku utakuja online kuomba msaada kwa wananchi, si watakuambia boss si tunakuonanga na BMW? Ile gari unapostingi ni ya?”

Smart Joker likes keeping his life off cameras and private because that is where his peace lies, and he doesn’t want to put himself in a position where he is clearly showing he is of a different class than others.

How Smart Joker deals with Public Pressure
