TikToker and businesswoman Rish Kamunge has publicly appealed to Captain Sammir to unblock her on TikTok following a disagreement that occurred during a live session.
In an emotional video shared on Friday, June 12, Kamunge admitted that remarks she made during a TikTok live broadcast offended Sammir, prompting him to block her.
“I am really sad. Please tell Captain Sammir to unblock me. I will behave,” she said.
Kamunge called on people close to Sammir to intervene and relay her apology, insisting that she regrets the incident and is willing to change her conduct moving forward.
She explained that the fallout began during a live session the previous day when she made comments that upset him.
“It started yesterday when we were live on TikTok and I said something bad that offended him, and he blocked me. Please tell him to unblock me,” she said.
The businesswoman further claimed that the situation has affected her emotionally, saying she has been struggling since being blocked and hopes the matter can be resolved amicably.
Advice to Parents on Gulf Jobs
In a separate message, Kamunge urged parents to carefully evaluate their children’s health and behavioural challenges before sending them to work in Gulf countries.
According to her, individuals battling alcohol addiction may face greater difficulties abroad due to the accessibility of alcohol in some regions.
She argued that people with existing alcohol dependency issues could find it harder to manage their habits while living away from home and family support systems.
“You have seen the number of people who have been deported. If your child has issues with alcohol or any mental health challenges related to drinking, and cannot stay without alcohol, taking them abroad will only worsen the situation,” she said.
Kamunge, who says she has experience helping Kenyans secure jobs overseas, claimed she has encountered cases where workers struggled with alcohol-related challenges while working abroad, affecting both their employment and legal status.
Her remarks have sparked discussion online, with some supporting her cautionary message to parents while others questioned her characterization of alcohol availability and working conditions across Gulf countries.
