Jappani took to social media to fault the celebrities who she claimed were desperate to prove they had an association with the fallen 61-year-old corporate guru.

Collymore, despite running one of the most profitable telecom companies in Africa, still remained a humbled man who interacted with people from all walks of life.

Because of the CEO's down-to-earth demeanour, little wonder that numerous photos he took with some of the renowned personalities like comedian Eric Omondi, gospel singer Bahati, news anchor Julie Gichuru, among others emerged online following his demise.

The celebrities remembered Collymore as a man with tremendous character and a kind heart.

Some of the celebrities, however, went the extra mile by posting private chats with the departed Safaricom boss, perhaps as a testimony of the direct impact he had in their lives.

This, according to Massawe, was not appropriate, and the radio girl made her feelings known regarding the private chats shared on social media.

Through her Instagram, the lovely lass stated, ““So now guys are publishing private chats with Bob on Social media? NKT! Are you desperate to prove association? It was private. Please.”

She has since ignited a heated debate on social media as some Kenyans shared her sentiments, while others deemed her salty perhaps because she never interacted with Bob on a personal level

Others saw Massawe's sentiments as a veiled attack towards comedian Eric Omondi, who led the line in sharing "receipts" of WhatsApp interactions with the late Bob.

.For Eric Omondi, as part of his mourning, he shared a lengthy text message which Bob sent him as he was being castigated online in March 2018 following his outrageous clothless humor stint in Turkana.

According to the comedian, Collymore was one of the only big names who actually saw the funny side to his stunt without any judgement.
