Radio host ALEX MWAKIDEU reacts to viral video of bold Gen Z LADY confronting relatives at mother’s burial - “Let’s not wait for funerals to show love”



Monday, September 29, 2025 - A viral video showing a young Gen Z lady passionately confronting relatives during her mother’s burial has sparked widespread debate online, and caught the attention of celebrated radio host, Alex Mwakideu.

In the emotionally charged clip, the woman addresses the crowd with raw honesty, calling out family members for their absence during her mother’s illness and accusing them of hypocrisy for showing up only after her passing.

Her boldness, vulnerability and refusal to conform to traditional expectations struck a chord with many viewers, especially younger generations.

Speaking on the matter, Mwakideu applauded the young woman’s courage.

“Gen Z hawana hiyo time ya kimya. Atakupiga reality tu,” he said, noting that this isn’t the first time a young person has spoken out at a funeral.

He believes it’s a growing trend, and a necessary one.

“This girl gave people reality, not shame. It’s good that Gen Z are calling things out. They’re helping us reflect,” he added.

He emphasized the importance of being present for loved ones - not just in death, but in life.

“Let’s not wait for funerals to show love. If you weren’t there when they needed you, don’t pretend now,” he added.

The video has ignited conversations around generational differences and emotional expression.

As Mwakideu put it, “Sometimes, the most powerful eulogy is the truth.”
