Controversy over Camille Makosso’s visit to Benin: TikToker Alain Kenneth breaks his silence
Accused on social media of having invited Ivorian pastor Camille Makosso, nicknamed “the general,” to Benin, TikToker Alain Kenneth addressed the controversy during a public exchange with the man himself. In a conversation widely shared online, Camille Makosso sought to clarify the facts and respond directly to his detractors.
SUMMARY
The matter is making waves on TikTok and Facebook. Since the announcement of Ivorian pastor Camille Makosso’s presence in Benin, content creator Alain Kenneth has been the target of insults and accusations. Some internet users accuse him of having “brought” the controversial and polemical pastor to Benin. The young TikToker says he faces these attacks with incomprehension in the face of the wave of criticism.
In a conversation made public, Alain Kenneth directly addresses Camille Makosso, whom he affectionately calls “my general,” to explain the situation. “They say it was me who brought Aposto’s general to Benin,” he complains. An accusation the Ivorian pastor dismisses at once, urging his interlocutor to put things into perspective.
A straightforward clarification from the Ivorian pastor
Camille Makosso, true to his provocative and theatrical style, states plainly that he was not invited by Alain Kenneth. “When I said I was coming to Benin, he didn’t invite me. I said I was coming, and he simply told me he would receive and welcome me,” he specifies.
For him, the criticism is merely the result of jealousy sparked by the visibility of this collaboration. The pastor is also complimentary toward the young Beninese influencer, whom he describes as stylish, influential and now a “general” in his country.
A visit focused on promoting Benin
Beyond the controversy, Camille Makosso insists that the main goal of his stay is to promote Benin. He welcomes the millions of views generated by his videos highlighting the country, its infrastructure and its realities. “Everyone is talking about Benin,” he rejoices. Moreover, he believes he has helped improve the country’s image internationally.
The pastor says he discovered, thanks to Alain Kenneth, several achievements of the Beninese government, notably in the area of social housing under President Patrice Talon’s administration. He also announces the upcoming broadcast of reports dedicated to these initiatives, as well as to the companies and economic actors contributing to the country’s development.
Indeed, the arrival of General Camille Makosso in Benin was confirmed on Sunday, December 7, 2025, following a foiled coup attempt. That day, Alain Kenneth hosted Camille Makosso in a live stream in which he called for peace and condemned any form of coup d’état. The controversial pastor joined him to celebrate the failure of the putsch and to urge the Beninese people to remain calm and serene.
