Early life and career
Mukoro Ereremena Michelle was born on November 8, 2000, in Ughelli, Delta State, Nigeria.[4] She began content creation in 2016.[5] And in 2021, she started posting videos on TikTok.[6] These videos attracted attention and led to growth in her online following.[7][8]
Outside of online content, she visits slums, distributing free food, providing financial, and funding community projects.[9][10][11] In 2025, she received the Humanitarian Award at the 17th Headies Awards "Back 2 Base" ceremony.[12][13] That same year, she received the Africa's Humanitarian Person of the Year award from Ranks Africa[14] and the Force of Social Good award at the Trendupp Awards.[15][16]
In 2026, she received media attention following public disputes with VeryDarkMan and Seyi Tinubu.[17]
Controversies
The VeryDarkMan Feud
In February 2026, King Mitchy posted a video which people believed it was an indirect references to activist VeryDarkMan.[18] In response, VeryDarkMan stated that her philanthropic efforts, including the six-day school renovation in Delta State, were politically motivated.[19] The exchange subsequently escalated into a series of public online statements from both King Mitchy and VeryDarkMan.[20]
Seyi Tinubu Allegations
VeryDarkMan claimed that President Bola Tinubu's son, Seyi Tinubu, was financially backing King Mitchy's projects.[21] He said that King Mitchy was being used as a political pawn for the 2027 elections.[22][23] Seyi Tinubu publicly responded to the controversy, rejecting the accusations.[24][25]
The Bleach Stunt & False Death Rumor
Things took a dark turn when both King Mitchy and VeryDarkMan posted videos online claiming to have ingested Hypo.[26][27] King Mitchy was seen consuming a Hypo.[28][29][30] Her management team subsequently announced that she had passed away in an Abuja hospital,[31] but the hospital denied that she was never a patient there.[32][33] Her management later retracted the death announcement.[34][35]
