Flossin Mauwano Refutes Being Responsible For The Graffiti On the Nairobi Expressway

After a photo of his pseudonym carved above a pillar of the Nairobi Expressway went viral, Flossin, actual name Stephen Mule, became a trending topic.

While the majority of Kenyans on social media were ecstatic about it, a vocal minority, led by activist Boniface Mwangi, was not.

Mwangi asked for Flossin's arrest, describing him as a "vandal" who destroys public property.

"He isn't a king of anything, but he is a painter who specializes in vandalizing public spaces." On March 4, Mwangi tweeted, "We know the kings and queens of graffiti in Kenya."

"Their work may be found on walls all around the world, from Nairobi to New York." They create works that are both beautiful and forceful. Flossin Mauwano discredits graffiti."

Despite the applause and jeers, the man of the moment has come out to claim that he was not the one who wrote the inscription.

"People have been questioning how I climbed all the way up," he told the Standard, "but to be honest, Flossin Mauwano is a movement, and one of my followers probably did it."

"Just to be clear, the graffiti was not written by me. Actually, I'm perplexed as to how the die-hard fan got his signature up there...it’s a conundrum."

In previous interviews, Flossin Mauwano said that he acquired the moniker and began plastering it over major routes in the city that he regarded as accident hotspots.

This happened after he witnessed his parents being killed in a car accident on Lang'ata Road in 1997.

He has refuted claims that his name is linked to gangs or idle adolescents.
