According to the screenshot seen by TUKO.co.ke, Odoyo's grandmother had warned him against participating in protests after watching his video on TikTok.
"Have seen you on TikTok, don't try to go to the street. Leave be deceived by TikTok trends, don't go to the streets," (sic) read the message.
The grandmother also told him that they were ready to bury him if he defied her warning.
"Don't go to the street, but if so, we are ready to bury you," she said.
In response, Odoyo told her not to use strong words to warn him.
"Good evening, kindly don't ever say such words to me again, kindly," Odoyo reacted.
Does Timmy Odoyo support protests?
Despite the warning, Odoyo showed up in the morning to protest in the CBD but left after a few hours, after realising it wasn't peaceful.
"I was in town in the morning. When I realised it's no longer peaceful, I made my way home. We live today to fight tomorrow," Odoyo said.
Odoyo revealed that his concerned grandmother even tasked his uncles and aunties to call him and remind him not to participate in the protests.
"She had my uncles and aunties call me. I only picked one of my uncle's calls...we talked briefly and I assured him I would be safe," he added.
