Nigerian social media personality Mukoro Michelle, widely known as King Mitchy, has responded to fresh allegations after a man surfaced online claiming he once worked as her cameraman and accusing her of faking giveaway gestures.
The controversy follows an earlier incident on February 28, 2026, when Mitchy became a trending topic after a statement allegedly posted by her team claimed she had ingested a substance identified as hypo and later passed away in hospital. The post came amid her heated online clash with activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan. She later debunked the reports of her death, insisting she was alive and would not be silenced by critics.
Not long after, a man appeared online alleging that he had worked with her in 2024 before being dismissed. He claimed that during filmed charity giveaways, Mitchy would publicly announce large sums such as ₦300,000, ₦500,000, or even ₦1,000,000, but allegedly retrieved the bulk of the money once recording stopped, leaving beneficiaries with only ₦20,000. According to him, when he questioned the practice, she reportedly asked how she would cover her expenses, including paying him, if she gave out such large amounts.
In an emotional response, Mitchy firmly denied the accusations and stated she had never met the individual making the claims. She described the allegations as fabricated and aimed at damaging her reputation.
She further clarified that her sister previously handled her videography and is currently studying at Lagos State University in Epe, Lagos. Mitchy added that she now works with a different female videographer, whom she featured in her response video.
“Depression is real. I just saw a post about a boy that said I used to give people money and collect it. How would I give someone money and then take it back?” she said.
She also acknowledged the emotional strain caused by the accusations and the ongoing drama surrounding her dispute with VeryDarkMan, suggesting that the situation has significantly affected her mental well-being.

@hintrovertt, “If everyone is like me, most of this people won’t be getting engagement, but we are guilable and emotional in Nigeria If you guys remember that banana seller that ash mushy claimed she helped and didn’t give her shi shi Most of this people do this content for the clout I never believe or rate king michy content even asherkine most of this peoples.”
@idris_senator, “Depression is real, yes! but so is accountability. You can’t dismiss serious allegations by turning it into an emotional deflection. If there are claims about “audio giveaways,” the mature thing is to address them clearly and transparently, not just react in disbelief. People aren’t questioning out of nowhere they’re responding to what was said. Clear the air with facts, not feelings.”
@bethel_diaries, “Seeing claims like this makes you question how much of what we see online is real. How often do you think influencers stage giveaways or promotions for clout versus actually giving? I’m curious have you ever felt deceived by something that looked too good to be true?”
@GOZIEVIBE, “These are heavy accusations. If true, it raises questions about performative charity and influencer accountability. But both sides deserve to be heard before conclusions are made.”
@GOZIEVIBE, “On camera: ₦1M giveaway 🎥 Off camera: ₦20k reality? 😬 If true, that’s messy.”
@kinnsokoye, “I have worked for an NGO that does similar stuff. We go to rural areas take 10 boys and pay their school fees of N1,000 each making N10,000 in total, then we edit the video with emotional music how that we gave them scholarships. In return we he millions in funding.”
@incredibledude9, “This girl is clearly not mentally stable. She’s having a very public meltdown and needs immediate professional support. With so many registered NGOs that operate with proper checks and balances, it’s fair to question why any responsible person would choose to give her millions directly unless, of course, there are ulterior motives at play.”
