From “Anti-Simp” Guru to Music Video Prop: Has Andrew Kibe Finally “Fallen”?

The Kenyan digital space has been set ablaze following the release of Dyana Cods’ latest music video, “Calipso,” featuring Scar Mkadinali. While the song itself is a high-energy banger, it isn’t the bars or the beat that have the internet talking—it’s the unexpected appearance of Africa’s most controversial social commentator, Andrew Kibe, playing the role of a video vixen.

For years, Andrew Kibe has built a massive brand on the foundation of “extreme masculinity.” Known for his viral videos where he ruthlessly critiques men for being “subservient” to women—often using terms like lambistic, puni, and kife—Kibe has positioned himself as the ultimate “Teacher” of the boychild. However, his latest appearance in the visuals for “Calipso” has left his followers in a state of absolute disbelief.

In the music video, which premiered on Dyana Cods’ official channel, Kibe is seen in a role usually reserved for female models. Instead of the loud, aggressive commentator we see behind a microphone, we are presented with a silent, relaxed Kibe sitting on a couch while Dyana Cods—the self-proclaimed “Femcee”—dominates the frame. At several points, Dyana is seen dancing intimately around him and even playfully grabbing his beard, a moment that has since gone viral as a screenshot across Kenyan social media.

The reaction from his “students” has been a mix of hilarity and heartbreak. On the latest episode of the Chizzi Podcast, hosts who identify as followers of Kibe’s teachings expressed their profound disappointment. “Mwalimu (The Teacher) has burned the picture!” one host exclaimed, noting that by allowing a female rapper to “take control” of the scene, Kibe has violated his own core principles of masculinity. The irony of the situation is hard to ignore: the man who tells men not to be “props” for women has effectively become a prop for one of the boldest female artists in the industry.

Why would Kibe, a man who values his “alpha” image above all else, agree to this? Industry insiders point toward his close relationship with Scar Mkadinali, who features on the track. Kibe and Scar have a documented history of collaboration in the podcasting world, and it is widely believed that Scar facilitated the cameo. However, others suggest this is a strategic move by Kibe to maintain relevance. After losing his main YouTube channel and facing several “cancellations,” a viral moment like this ensures he remains at the center of the Kenyan entertainment conversation.

While the video has already racked up nearly 80,000 views in just 48 hours, the long-term impact on Kibe’s brand is debatable. Can he continue to call other men “lambistic” after being “vixened” by Dyana Cods? Some argue that this “blunder” makes him a hypocrite, while others believe Kibe is simply “playing the game” of entertainment. Regardless of the motive, Dyana Cods has managed to pull off the ultimate marketing heist, using the most “un-vixen-like” man in Kenya to promote her brand.

What do you think? Is Kibe just having fun, or has the “Teacher” officially lost his way? Sound off in the comments!
