Kenyans and fans worldwide were recently shaken by a TikTok video suggesting the death of Nanny Rosie’s former Lebanese employer.
The video featured one of the little girls Rosie used to care for, tearfully standing beside a grave.
This visual sparked an outpouring of condolences and concerns from netizens who sought clarity on the heartbreaking imagery.
However, Rosie has now clarified the situation, bringing much-needed relief and understanding.
In a follow-up TikTok video, she explained that the viral clip was actually a skit aimed at raising awareness about the deadly impact of cancer.
“They were making a skit to create awareness on cancer, which kills many ladies. It was all about being active and checking ourselves for cancer,” Rosie stated.
Rosie was addressing the speculation directly after a concerned fan inquired about the well-being of her former employer.
In the original video, one of the twins dressed in black walked solemnly to a grave before breaking down in tears, leading many to believe it was a genuine moment of mourning.
Rosie’s clarification has since helped to clear the air, turning a moment of grief into an educational one about cancer awareness.
The reaction from Kenyans was mixed, with some expressing relief and others reflecting on the emotional impact the video had on them.
Comments ranged from understanding the need for such awareness campaigns to expressing their initial shock and sadness.
“I was waiting for your video at last now many have understood. Sorry to those posting that she’s dead without research,” one commenter wrote, encapsulating the general sentiment.
