“Niko na ugonjwa inaitwa Leukemia” – Nduru man explains why he took a break from TikTok

Popular TikToker Ian Asunya aka ‘nduru man’  has explained why he hasn’t been producing content for the past four months.

Speaking during an interview with YouTube creator 2mbili, Asunya conveyed that he has blood cancer, which sometimes limits him from creating his content.

“Lakini unajua kuna ugonjwa flani inaitwa Leukemia, sometimes symptoms ziko. Kuna vitu naeza do but unajua mi hu-risk.

“(There is a condition known as Leukaemia. There are things I can do, but sometimes there are symptoms, and I still risk),” nduru man said.

The fast-rising TikTok creator said that, unlike other people, he chose to keep the condition private because it is a personal matter.

“Mi nakuanga mtu mpersonal sana. Watu wako different, kuna wasee wanapenda kushare na watu au wanaweka kwa mtandao.

“(I keep my issues private. People are different. Some share their issues while others post on social media),” he said.

According to Asunya, sometimes the effects of the condition are too much, and he cannot continue with normal creation as before.

“So unapatanga nikiwa hivo siezi fanya hiyo kitu. Nimetulia for like miezi nne sijadoo hiyo stuff.

“(Sometimes, when it strikes, I can’t scream. I have not been creating content for four months),” he said.

Nduru man said he had not been able to share content since his last viral video in July 2022, where he shouted former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s name outside State House.

The father of one revealed that he had been resting after going to the hospital and is running a delivery business in Nairobi’s central business district.
