NAIROBI, Kenya — Sky Victor, the daughter of late gospel singer Betty Bayo, has lost access to her TikTok profile, which had attracted more than 1.4 million followers, after the account became inaccessible on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
A check by Vivid Voice News found that the profile no longer displayed Sky’s name, videos or other identifying information. Instead, visitors were met with a blank page showing no account name or published content, although the follower count remained visible alongside zero likes.
The development has raised questions about what happened to the account, particularly because it had recently undergone a rebranding, changing its name from Sky V to This Is Sky.
However, it remains unclear whether the account was voluntarily deactivated, accessed by another person or affected by a technical or platform-related issue. There has been no confirmation from Sky or TikTok explaining its disappearance.
TikToker Kiguru, who commented on the development, cautioned users against confusing an account deactivation with a ban imposed by TikTok.
“Na millennial mjue difference ya deactivated na banned,” he said, explaining that the account had not necessarily been removed by the platform.
“There is something you need to understand, account ya Sky haijatolewa na TikTok. Ni mtu amedeactivate, maybe ni ule manager tuliambiwa,” Kiguru added.
He suggested that someone with access to the account could have initiated the deactivation and claimed it might be restored if the person responsible chose to reactivate it within the applicable period.
“But inaweza rudi after 24 hours if they want to return it back. Bado haijatolewa na TikTok,” he said.
Kiguru’s explanation has not been independently confirmed, and it remains unclear who, if anyone, initiated the account’s deactivation.
Sky’s online presence draws public attention
Sky’s social media activity has attracted considerable public attention since the death of her mother, Betty Bayo, in November 2025.
Her videos and online appearances have increasingly become part of public discussions surrounding the family’s circumstances following the singer’s death, particularly the arrangements for her and her younger brother.
The teenager previously used social media to express her feelings about the custody arrangements involving her biological father, Pastor Victor Kanyari, and her stepfather, Hiram Gitau, popularly known as Tash.

Her public appeals, including a message directed at President William Ruto, brought further attention to the family’s situation.
The issue also prompted concern from Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo, who raised the subject of children’s exposure to social media in Parliament on November 4.
Although she did not identify Sky by name, Odhiambo referred to a teenage girl who had lost her mother and was frequently appearing on social media.
The legislator urged the Children’s Department to examine the circumstances and consider whether the minor needed additional protection and emotional support.
Odhiambo also called for a wider parliamentary discussion on children’s use of social media, warning about the potential effects of cyberbullying, harmful public commentary and excessive exposure to online scrutiny.
Her intervention brought renewed attention to the responsibility of parents, guardians, social media platforms and public institutions to safeguard children online.
Sky’s TikTok account becoming inaccessible now adds another development to the public attention surrounding her online presence. Whether the profile will return, and who initiated its disappearance, remains unclear.
