Eve Mungai (born 6 April 2000 as Everlyn/Evelyn Wanjiku Mungai) is a Kenyan digital content creator, interviewer and entrepreneur who has become one of the most recognisable faces in the country’s online media space. Raised in Gachiku village, Murang’a County, she moved to Nairobi after high school and, in 2020, launched a YouTube channel that quickly became a hub for celebrity conversations, human-interest stories and “ghetto” or sheng-driven youth culture. Her early videos spotlighting emerging artists from informal settlements helped define her niche and, by mid-2022, the original “Mungai Eve” channel had already crossed 100 million views and several hundred thousand subscribers, placing her among Kenya’s top YouTubers by reach and earnings. Her content—and personal story of dropping out of a journalism course, hustling for work in Nairobi and then building a seven-figure digital brand—has been widely profiled as a “grass-to-grace” journey. Multiple interviews and features have reported that at her peak she could earn up to KSh 1.5 million a month from YouTube alone, with later estimates in 2025 placing her net worth at over KSh 20 million, boosted by brand endorsements and influencer deals. In early 2024 she lost control of her original channel after a highly publicised split from her long-time director and partner, Trevor, but soon re-emerged with a new platform, “Mungai Eve Media”, and has since repositioned herself as a solo creator focusing on deeper interviews, lifestyle content and more reflective storytelling, including candid discussions about depression and burnout in 2025.
Building one of Kenya’s most watched YouTube brands: Launched her first YouTube channel in January 2020 and, within roughly two years, grew it past 100 million total views and about 600,000 subscribers, with some 2024 reports noting the channel had surpassed 750,000 subscribers before it was rebranded. This scale placed her firmly among Kenya’s highest-earning and most influential YouTubers.

This scale placed her firmly among Kenya’s highest-earning and most influential YouTubers.
Public fallout and asset dispute with Director Trevor: Their 2024 breakup—both romantic and professional—triggered intense public debate after Trevor took full control of the original “Mungai Eve” YouTube and social channels, rebranding them as Kenya Online Media and removing her access to platforms with more than 750,000 YouTube subscribers and hundreds of thousands of Facebook followers. Coverage framed it as a “hostile takeover” of digital assets, though neither side has publicly disclosed detailed contractual terms.
Online narratives about “change” and character: Commentaries, reaction videos and mini-documentaries have questioned how fame and money have affected her personality, with some critics claiming she became more aloof or demanding over time and even titling pieces “Mungai Eve Deserves Her Failure.” Supporters counter that such content exaggerates normal personal growth and relationship issues for clicks.
News articles featuring Eve Mungai
Commercial success and brand partnerships: Publicly revealed in interviews that she could earn up to KSh 1.5 million in a good month from YouTube, and has since signed multiple endorsement and influencer deals with major brands, leading recent business-oriented profiles to estimate her net worth at over KSh 20 million by early 2025
Successful re-launch after channel loss: After losing access to her original channel in 2024, she launched a new channel, “Mungai Eve Media,” which crossed 50,000 subscribers within two days and 100,000 within about five days, signalling strong personal brand loyalty and her ability to rebuild an audience in a crowded digital landscape.
Viral interview walk-outs and tense media moments: Clips have circulated of her cutting short or walking out of interviews—especially when repeatedly asked about her former partner—feeding a perception among some viewers that she is overly sensitive about her private life, while others view the incidents as understandable boundary-setting in the face of intrusive questioning.
Debate around public disclosure of depression: Her 2025 disclosure that she was battling depression and burnout after the breakup drew a mixed response: many fans applauded her vulnerability and calls for mental-health awareness, while a minority of online commentators suggested she might be using the narrative for sympathy or relevance. There is no evidence of wrongdoing, but the episode illustrates how closely her personal life and public brand are scrutinised in Kenya’s social-media space.
