Comedian Mupengo Roby has finally repaid Manas Chibanda the US$200 he owed him after an unsuccessful YouTube channel sale deal, Chibanda has confirmed. The resolution comes after Chibanda publicly called out Mpengo and his brother on social media, accusing them of deceitfully withholding his money.
The dispute between the two arose after a YouTube channel sale agreement went wrong. Chibanda initially handed over the channel to Mupengo Roby in exchange for US$200. However, once the transaction was completed, Mpengo reportedly removed Chibanda from his role as an administrator on the channel and subsequently blocked all his calls.
Chibanda’s attempts to reach out to Mpengo to either reclaim his money or discuss the deal proved futile, leading him to take the matter to social media. In a public post, he accused the comedian of scamming him and called for justice.
Following Chibanda’s public outcry, the issue quickly gained traction, with many people calling on Mpengo Roby to make amends. The allegations painted a negative image of the comedian, prompting fans and social media users to question his integrity. Some called for legal action, while others urged Mpengo to do the right thing and repay Chibanda.
As the pressure mounted, reports surfaced that Mupengo Roby had, indeed, failed to honor the initial agreement. The public scrutiny seemed to have played a role in pushing him to take action. On Wednesday, after days of social media backlash and intense criticism, Mupengo Roby finally refunded Chibanda the US$200. Chibanda confirmed receiving the money, putting an end to the dispute that had been unfolding online.
Chibanda expressed his relief after getting his money back, stating that he was pleased that the issue had been resolved. However, he also cautioned people to be careful when engaging in such transactions and to ensure that agreements are documented to avoid similar conflicts in the future.
This case serves as a reminder of the importance of trust and integrity in business dealings, regardless of the amount involved. The backlash Mpengo faced highlights the power of social media in holding public figures accountable. For Chibanda, the experience was a lesson in the importance of securing proper agreements and ensuring that deals are transparent. He advised fellow content creators to take necessary precautions when selling digital assets such as YouTube channels, urging them to use legally binding contracts to avoid disputes.
Social media users had mixed reactions to the resolution. Some were glad that Chibanda got his money back, while others criticized Mupengo Roby for initially blocking him and ignoring his calls. One user commented, “Good that he finally paid up, but it should not have taken public pressure for him to do the right thing.” Another added, “A lesson learned for everyone involved. Always ensure deals are formalized.”
Others, however, defended Mupengo Roby, suggesting that he might have faced financial difficulties and was not intentionally trying to withhold the money. “Maybe he just needed time to pay back. At least he did in the end,” one supporter argued. With the issue now resolved, both parties can move on from the controversy. Mupengo Roby will likely seek to rebuild his image following the negative publicity, while Chibanda can now put the matter behind him and focus on his content creation endeavors.
This incident underscores the need for transparency, communication, and accountability in financial transactions, even in the digital space. Whether a lesson learned or a reputation tarnished, this saga has certainly left an impact in the local entertainment scene.
