Kenyan comedian David Oyando alias Mulamwah, has turned 32 and marked the milestone with a heartfelt message to himself.
The content creator took to Instagram on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, to reflect on his journey, the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
“Happy birthday to me, another year around the sun, 29 years wise, 3 more wiser. God has been faithful. I have won, I have lost, it’s the joy of life,” Mulamwah wrote.
“If you win, let it not go to your head, and if you lose, let it not go to your heart. Proud of the little steps I have made, to many more wins. A new life starts today, to many more years,” he added that life’s ups and downs make the journey meaningful.

Mulamwah’s message comes at a time when he has been increasingly open about the emotional toll of constant online backlash.
In an exclusive interview on the Iko Nini podcast earlier this month, Mulamwah revealed that the negativity surrounding his name has followed him from the very beginning of his career. He admitted that it feels as though he started on the wrong foot, with people choosing to dislike him from the very first video he shared online.
“Mulamwah is someone I’d say started his career off on the wrong foot. Yaani, he’s someone who has been hated right from the very first video, kabisa,” he said.
The comedian noted that he has often been left puzzled by the unprovoked hate that seems to follow him, explaining that the criticism doesn’t end with him; it also affects the women he dates.
Mulamwah described a recurring pattern: every time he begins a new relationship, the woman involved starts facing online attacks, too.
“Even when I meet a lady and we start dating, that woman will start getting attacked just like that, for no reason. Even when you break up with her, the hate continues. You find someone new, and still, even if you split, it doesn’t stop,” he lamented
Mulamwah recalled the moment he revealed the face of his child with estranged girlfriend Ruth K., only to be hit with yet another wave of public criticism. Online users threw harsh comments his way, comparing the baby’s appearance to random people and even mocking the child.
“They’ll insult even a child, saying how they look and throwing all sorts of nonsense. The online world is wild. As artists, we’ve come to understand that. That same hater will move on and go for Bahati, then go for Pozee next. You might find they insult up to 50 people a day,” he added.
