In a TikTok live session last Monday, Beninese TikToker and artist Axel Merryl strongly rebuked Kimi Makosso, the eldest daughter of General Pastor Camille Makosso. He reproached her for getting involved in his issues with his TikTok followers.
The harmony between Axel Merryl and Kim Makosso seems to have faded away. The Beninese TikToker and artist confronted the young woman during a live session as the couple discussed Axel’s perceived inappropriate reaction towards his community.
Axel Merryl and Kim Makosso: A Clash of Leadership? “Friends, if this spoiled guy has done something to you, I’m sorry, I’m here to ask for forgiveness. Take it that way. He’s very spoiled, treat him like your little brother and forgive him,” she said during the live session with Axel Merryl. However, he wasn’t pleased with her response. Quickly, the performer of the song “Kimi” called out Camille Makosso’s eldest daughter.
First, Axel Merryl swiftly removed Kim from his live session before responding to her. He expressed that Kim Makosso cannot match him in any aspect on the TikTok platform. “I’m her big brother from far away, I can scold her as I want, but out of respect for her, I don’t, ask Kim, if she and I were to compete on who should win, I think she can’t win,” he clarified.
Axel Merryl Shuts Down Kim Makosso Axel Merryl advised Kimi not to involve herself in his issues with his followers anymore. “Never again, you don’t speak to me like that in a live session, I don’t know who you think you are, but never again, you might think you’re Kim, it gets to your head, as you have people who follow you and encourage you in everything you’re doing, you think you’re too smart, I’m sorry, you need to come back down to earth,” he advised Kim.
As if that wasn’t enough, Axel Merryl reminded Kim Makosso that she is younger than him and for that reason, she needs to calm down. “You calm down, you’re my little sister, you calm down, all your guys (followers) who follow you, they think you’re too smart, you’re too smart, who are you to talk to me about what I’ve done with my team, you didn’t build my team with me, you’re nobody to talk to me about my team, people encourage you in the comments, you think you’re too smart,” he affirmed with a frustrated tone.
The Root of the Conflict… As a reminder, on the night of Sunday, August 13, 2023, Axel Merryl expressed his frustration towards his fans, blaming them for joining and leaving his live sessions repeatedly. “You wait for half a second, you leave, you come back, you don’t have to, even if you’re not with me, it’s fine, but if you come and I see you, and then you leave again… If you think you should be there, stay there,” he criticized.
This misstep garnered him harsh criticism. TikTok users viewed Axel’s anger as unwarranted because a follower was watching another person’s live session instead of his. Kim Makosso, who was also live at the time, attempted to address Axel Merryl’s behavior.
In her intervention, Camille Makosso’s eldest daughter found Axel Merryl’s reaction excessive and suggested that he engage with his followers. Axel Merryl deemed her response inappropriate and used the opportunity to settle his differences with Kim Makosso.
