Patrick Mbacio, a TikTok personality from Nakuru's Ngata area, died in his room on a Saturday evening. He was reportedly suffering from diabetes. Mbacio had built a substantial following online through videos featuring women from different social, religious, and ethnic backgrounds. He was open about his lifestyle, once saying in a video that women simply came to him out of love and that he had sometimes found himself with two at once.
Neighbours described him not only as a social media figure but also as a businessman and broker in cars and land who had lived among them since relocating from Sobea in 2024. His reputation as a womaniser had made his continued stay there untenable. Before his health deteriorated, Mbacio claimed to have spent millions of shillings on his lifestyle and asserted that he had been intimate with more than 1,000 women.
Mbacio threatened to publish the names of the women if they continued to neglect him during his illness. However, a neighbour now says that when she asked him directly whether such a list existed, he admitted there was none and that the threat was simply content. The neighbour told Tv47 that Mbacio told her the list did not exist.
As his condition worsened through 2025, Mbacio adopted a new identity, calling himself Patrick the Truth. He stepped away from his earlier content and began presenting himself as a life coach, a sharp contrast to the persona that had made him famous. He once noted publicly that he had never written to the government or any company seeking support.
On the day he died, Mbacio did not open his business as usual. Neighbours who grew concerned later found him lying in his bed. His body was taken to Egerton University Mochari as his family prepared to make arrangements for his send-off. Those who knew him in Ngata recalled a generous and lively presence.
Mbacio had made an appeal for women he had spent time with to visit him, but it went largely unanswered. He had also made an emotional appeal for financial help, seeking money for medication while managing diabetes and high blood pressure. This offered a glimpse of the man behind the larger-than-life online persona.
At 64, Mbacio had reinvented himself in his final months, but his health continued to decline. His story highlights the complexities of social media fame and the consequences of a life lived in the public eye. Key figures in his life have shared their memories of him, portraying a multifaceted individual.
