In a strongly worded video posted on Instagram on Thursday, July 23, 2026, Ofweneke urged content creators to stop turning the Luhya community into fodder for viral jokes.
He argued that while comedy often borrows from everyday life, repeatedly targeting one tribe with ridicule is not only lazy but also harmful.
“There is something that has come to my attention, and if I don’t speak about it, it will continue.
“If you want to trend using a certain tribe or stereotypical jokes, please use your own community,” he said.
Ofweneke noted that countless TikTok clips and skits portray Luhya men, women, and cultural practices in a negative light, rarely celebrating anything positive.
He questioned why the community had become an easy target whenever creators wanted quick online traction.
