‘I TRIED TO KILL MYSELF TWICE’ XTIAN DELA DISCLOSES IN EMOTIONAL POST

Social media influencer Arthur Mandela Nyongesa alias Xtian Dela has talked about battling mental health. Xtian has been trending online for the past few days after his mother begged him to come home.

On Monday, March 6, he took to his Twitter account where he revealed he had attempted taking his life twice. “I have tried to kill myself two times. 16 years on social media, I never thought it would consume my mental health. Kenya has the worst social media bullies on earth. It’s always “Fun” until someone like Xtian Dela actually kills themselves!”

He advises online trolls to know facts before commenting on a post, “There are three very important things in life: The things you know.  The things you know that you don’t know. The things you don’t know that you don’t know. Get to know what you want to talk about first before you talk.”

Over the weekend, Dela’s mother Margaret Nyongesa, made a public appeal for her son to return home. According to Margaret, she has not seen his son for 4 year, “He started disappearing in 2019, and every time I tried to reach out he told me he is busy. But since then he went silent and I never heard from him. He cut off the communication and blocked me. That’s why I decided to make a public appeal.”

Dela’s mother further stated he doesn’t want to talk to his siblings, “It is painful to stay for four years without seeing your child. It is not easy, I am appealing wherever he is. I love him. His father died and he is my strength, he has separated himself from us and does want to talk to his siblings.“

His mother also cursed Dela’s baby mama Fatma Badj, “I hear you got married and even got a child with a woman named Fatma. May that child also abandon you in future like you have abandoned me.”
