Kalyjay, whose real name is Joshua Boye-Doe, has gained a massive following for his engaging posts on social issues and trending topics. His influence has made him a target for political parties seeking to leverage social media to sway public opinion.

Kalyjay, in a series of X posts, confessed to taking gigs from the New Force with a group of influencers to help the political movement gain visibility on social media. He noted, however, that this deal barely succeeded because some influencers were refusing to do their side of the bidding while expecting full payment of their agreed money.
