TikTok Star Alby Quits Due to Depression and Lawsuits

Viral TikTok content creator The King of Smiles, known for his viral trend “Mambo Nation,” has announced his exit from the world of content creation, citing mental health issues from lawsuits.

Mohammed Alby, through his social media handles, said several people had sued him for allegedly making them smile. A frustrated Alby noted the irony in the lawsuits because, according to him, all he did was bring joy and positivity into people’s lives.

In his post, the star clearly stated that this is the end of the road, as he will stop filming with strangers in the Kenyan streets because the lawsuits have taken a toll on his mental day, taking away the anticipation to see a new day.

“l am completely done with “spreading Smiles” because at the end of the day what it’s gotten me is making me not even want to see another day,” read part of his statement.

He further shared a curt notice on his Instagram stories, stipulating that the lawsuits have become cumbersome for him.

Alby also questioned why he was being targeted for simply creating smiles despite other content creators sharing negative content, yet they remain unbothered.

A bitter Alby lamented the challenges of being good in an unappreciative society. 

 “You’re all alone in this world fellow youth. Even when you try to do good, it’s a hungry society ready to break you down and destroy what you’ve worked towards.”

This is not the first time the star has opened up about his lawsuits. Nine months ago, he revealed through his Instagram that he had been sued. He went on a long rant, asking the same question; why would people go out of their way to sue him for bringing joy and happiness to people’s lives? 

The star who has managed to build a name for himself on TikTok has garnered a whopping 108.2 million views; he previously stated the court cases motivate him to go all in and grow his brand. This time, however, he has downed his tools, prioritizing his mental health.

“What a world we live in! I’m just tired of these lonely mental battles. I have been working so hard for a year only to be dragged down so bad and so hard,’ he said.
