Former radio presenter and digital content creator Chebet Ronoh has spoken out with a defiant message to those who have been targeting her online.

In a statement shared on her Instagram stories on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, Ronoh said the consistent attempts to bring her down have only affirmed that she is on the right path.

She described how her presence, light, and calling have seemingly irritated dark souls, noting that the hate she receives is both insane and, in her words, hilarious.

“The calling and light on my life has seriously irritated dark souls, it’s insane if not hilarious,” she wrote.

Adding;

“The character assassination, the consistent attempts to cause me pain, not knowing I am beyond blessed and divinely protected. There can never be another me, nor will my light dim because it burns you.”

Despite the negativity, Ronoh said she remains unshaken, wiser, and more grounded in her truth.

She said her grace continues to abound, and her light will not dim simply because it burns those who try to hurt her. She made it clear that she is divinely protected and will always remain who she is under God, regardless of the noise around her.

“You repeatedly confirm to me that I am on the right path. Even when I’m out of the way, I’m still a threat,” she said. “Funny enough, I just get wiser and smarter, and the grace ABOUNDS MORE! Thank you for affirming to me that I will always be her under God.”

Edited photo

Her passionate statement came just a day after she addressed a fake image that had gone viral online. The photo, which appeared to show her with facial injuries and a swollen lip, circulated widely across social media, raising concern and confusion among her followers.

On Tuesday, July 1, Ronoh responded through her Instagram stories and X account, making it clear that the photo was doctored and that she was safe and unharmed.

“I am completely fine, and someone has edited a picture of me for whatever reason. I am in the comfort of my home, safe and sound,” she said.

She went on to express her exhaustion with being dragged into unnecessary drama, noting that she had never looked like that in her life and could not understand why someone would go to such lengths.

“Can we be so fr [for real]… leave me alone,” she added.

Ronoh’s message to critics came just months after online users accused her of bullying and holding grudges against fellow content creators.

In April 2025, she responded through an emotional rant, brushing off the claims as baseless and attention-seeking. According to her, those spreading such allegations were delusional.

“Some of you people need help; peak delusion!” she said, adding that she’s often dragged into drama by people she doesn’t even know.

“If I had a dollar for every time someone said, ‘You know Ronoh bullied me. You know, Ronoh and I have beef; you guys do not know the real Ronoh’ Rest! Because I do not know who you are, I do not know your name, and I have never met you! Delusions!”

She questioned why people claiming to have issues with her prefer social media outbursts over confrontation, saying they were simply using her name for clout. “If you have a problem with me, why are you complaining? You are just aura farming!”

Ronoh added that anyone with a real problem knows where to find her. “My address… You know my home, you know where to get me, you know I am just in Nairobi, Kenya.”

“I am telling you people, love your kids at home. Attention? Give them!… Coz ni nini? What is it? Do I have your cows? Do I have your goats? What is it?”
