Kenyan TikToker Lyndah Kebati, known as Thee_lovechild, has found herself at the centre of a heated family dispute following the death of her father, Bosco. The drama began after she attended Bosco's burial and made public statements accusing her dad's family of neglecting them and not appreciating their effort in their son's life. Her stepbrother Richard also came out with fresh accusations accusing Lyndah and her mum of neglecting their father when he was at his lowest.

Lyndah Kebati has hit back at her stepbrother Richard after he accused her of abandoning their ailing father and misusing his money. She shared M-Pesa transaction records showing she had been sending Richard money on multiple occasions, including amounts of Ksh 600 and Ksh 250. The records showed she had sent him Ksh 600 on May 15, 2026, Ksh 250 on May 7, 2026, Ksh 600 on November 28, 2025, and Ksh 200 on November 13, 2025, totalling Ksh 1,650.

Lyndah Kebati took to TikTok on September 23, 2026, to defend herself, posting a video that quickly gained traction, alongside screenshots of M-Pesa transactions addressed to one Richard Bosco. She also called out Richard directly, accusing him of hypocrisy after he had reportedly texted her asking for money on multiple occasions despite being nearly 40 years old.

In her post, Lyndah made no apologies for how she chooses to spend her income, stating plainly that she has no legal or moral obligation to financially support anyone, including her parents. She accused Richard of exploiting their father's most vulnerable moments to gain public sympathy, and questioned why he had not been equally open about his own shortcomings.

Lyndah Kebati questioned the motives of those weighing in online, noting that public opinion is fleeting and that the people entertained by the drama today would move on to a new story by tomorrow. A recurring theme in Lyndah's response was the question of age and responsibility. She pointedly noted that four of her step-siblings are aged 35 and above, and that Richard is approaching 40, yet it is she who is being held to account for the family's financial welfare.

Lyndah's mum broke her silence and shut down claims that they had gone to the funeral to cause drama. She narrated the events that happened, even as she accused certain family members of assaulting her, yet she intended to bury her husband. The family dispute has spilt into the public eye, with many Kenyans weighing in on the matter.

The dispute between Lyndah Kebati and her stepbrother Richard has raised questions about family dynamics and financial responsibility. Lyndah Kebati has emerged as a strong voice in the family dispute, refusing to be swayed by public opinion or accusations from her stepbrother.
