Easron Abraham Asmlash, better known as Junior for his acting days on KTN, has resurfaced and taken the internet by storm.

Speculation was rife about the actor, and he created a TikTok account to set the record straight. Unlike the chubby child many remembered, Junior is all grown up and muscular, as he hits the gym—an aspect not lost on many Kenyan women.

Below are photos of the star:

During a candid TikTok livestream, Junior said that his departure from Nairobi to the US was influenced by his parents.

He admitted that he was falling in with the wrong crowd, which worried his mother.

"They saw I was going down the wrong path," he confessed.

Right before leaving Kenya, Junior said he had begun experimenting with rap and Gengetone music.

Unfortunately, his mother disapproved of his new musical direction.

This tension, coupled with his social circles, played a big part in the decision to relocate.

Unknown to many, Junior’s mother had already been living in the US since his birth.

He stayed in Kenya with his father until things spiralled.

He said that his mother’s intervention came just in time.

In his debut TikTok video, Junior addressed rumours that he had died.

He dismissed the claims while thanking God for the gift of life.

Junior blamed bloggers for the rumour and subtly hit out at them.

Junior said he is juggling school and part-time work while staying optimistic about his future.

He also hinted at returning to content creation.

He asked his supporters whether they preferred to consume his content on TikTok or YouTube.

Junior fondly recalled his days on the popular KTN show that aired every Sunday. Fans, especially Kenyan women, flooded his comments with admiration and questions about his relationship status.

Many admitted that they found him attractive.

In contrast, Junior’s former co-star Baken, real name Suleiman Sharrif Mohhamed, was at the centre of a controversy after a viral video surfaced online, allegedly showing him admitting to theft.

In the footage, Baken appeared injured and dazed, with visible bruises and blood on his face.

He was accused of stealing a motorbike, several phones, and over KSh 120,000 back in 2022.

The incident reportedly happened in Juja, where Baken had been staying over the festive period before allegedly disappearing, prompting his host to raise the alarm.

He was later tracked down and handed over to police at Jogoo Station.
