Hollywood celebrities normally push boundaries during awards. They can wear, literally anything! Lady Gaga once stepped onto the red carpet wearing meat. They wear thigh-high slits, funny hairstyles, and shoes, not forgetting the dramatic makeup.

However, back home, here in Kenya, netizens don’t recognize thigh-high slits and claim that it is against the African culture. If celebrities step out with anything, sheer clothing, and thigh-high slits, they will be the talk of the town for weeks.

Here are a few ladies who have been trolled for dressing ‘indecently.’

Kirigo Ngarua

Former news anchor Kirigo Ngarua was once trolled for dressing indecently. At one time, while celebrating her friend Terryanne Chebet’s birthday, she had worn a black tassel dress that was a part of the theme of the birthday that took place that weekend.

On her post, fans told her to stop showing her legs, and she responded by saying that the comments were not getting to her. She said she has beautiful legs and she will flaunt them whenever she can.

“Some human commented somewhere that I should “dress decently”… Not sure what that means and to be honest I can’t be bothered…Also, I have beautiful legs so I have to show them off once in a while, add this lovely dress from @siristudio and life is complete at this moment,”

Akothee

Akothee is a vocal artist. She speaks her mind and no one is going to stop her. Akothee had an event in Watamu in 2018 and wore an animal print to the show. Many thought she looked good, while others thought she looked ratchet and her dressing was indecent, so she was setting a bad example as a role model.

She is later responding in a video, saying she is no one’s role model.

, “I am dumping that name role model, my a**! Let every parent be a role model to their own children,”

Esther Passaris

In a photo, Nairobi Women Rep Esther Passaris’ photo surfaced online where she was wearing a maxi dress with a thigh-high slit at an event. The lower part of the dress was so sheer that you could see her skin.

From the online reactions, the Nairobi legislator stated that it was a dress from her husband and she had no apologies to make to anyone for wearing it.

Kenyan on Twitter, KOT, asked her to offer a sense of integrity to her people to which the women rep replied:
My husband bought me that dress and I have no apologies when I wear it. #MyDressMyChoice https://t.co/rwgY9cuuXq

Tanasha Donna

While dating Diamond Platnumz, Tanzanians bashed Tanasha for her dressing, claiming that she was showing too much.

But if the words of trolls online could do anything to Tanasha’s confidence, then she’d be long gone by now.

The radio presenter did not really care much about what was said about her but instead continued doing what she does best, killing it on the red carpet.

However, it would be important to note that despite her overwhelming confidence, Tanasha has on some occasions missed the mark when it comes to dressing.

Betty Kyallo

Betty unintentionally revealed her nipple when she posted a photo of her in a swimming costume. Apart from the fan noticing the slight mishap, Betty generally received positive comments on her pics as many people were impressed at the celebs courage to be able to share such pics with the public. The star has been battling with weight gain issues and she seems to be at a comfortable place with her fitness journey as she was living unapologetically.

But hey, who are we to judge?

Have you ever heard of the saying ‘Najivumilia kuwa Mkenya’?

The very idea that in order to prosper, (especially when it comes to talent and entertainment) you need to be out of the country? Where does that come from?

Granted, we do have an entertainment industry that struggles to keep the arts alive in our country, but when it comes to Kuomoka, you just might need out of here.

And in that vein, here are some of the international celebrities that said ‘Adios’ to Kenyan entertainment and went to prosper in the west!

Elsa Majimbo

While not the first, Elsa single-handedly put Kenya on the International map when it comes to fashion and Vogue just by… being herself!

She got her first 15 minutes of fame when her sarcastic comedy flicks began making the rounds, garnering more and more attention from celebrities that found her sense of humour appealing.

Since then, Elsa has flown herself out, flown her entire family out, been on countless magazine editions including Vogue, worked with a sizeable number of luxury fashion designers including Valentino, and has been to the Met Gala. What the?

She, however, was shamed in our country, and many people did not like her humour, which is not that good for us…but great for her!

Patricia Allison

Some people don’t know this but Ola from S*x Education is Kenyan!

At the time, most people only recognized Lupita for her Oscar but come on, you gotta give it to her, she’s been on Les Miserables –and she kills it with the character on SE!

Her Kenyan roots began to show when she uploaded a picture of her grandma, oh, and the Kenyan flag on her Instagram Bio is a good indicator too, no?

Kimberly Leonard

Kimberly is one of the most revered News Anchors in London’s Sky News, but most don’t know she’s from here.

Not only is she Kenyan born, Kim fully knows Kiswahili and Kikuyu. Even her mom reads the clock in Kikuyu!

However, once people found out, she immediately went viral.

Sami Jacuzzi

Seasoned actor Sammy Nagi Njuguna has been making waves in the US, horror scene with his role on Amazon Prime’s ‘Black As Night’ starring as Tunde which premiered about a week ago and has been doing rather well on the charts too!

Another fun fact, he is the older brother to Barrack Jacuzzi, a Kenyan rapper and famous ‘Rich kid’.

The first time as the main character, Sammy is also known for stellar roles in films like ‘The 5th Quarter’, ‘For My Man’, ‘NCIS: New Orleans’ among several others!

See? We got that juice –it’s a matter of getting out there and sharing Kenyan talent!

Edi Gathegi

The “Start Up” and “Blacklist” superstar is also of Kenyan origin.

Because of his mastery of the English language many might actually think he is an American native but this is not the case.

Gathegi was born in Kenya before he moved to the United states where he studied and ignited his passion for acting.

He has made appearances in several top-grossing tv shows and movies.

Lupita Nyong’o

Lupita Nyong’o achieved global fame and critical acclaim for her role as Patsey in the historical drama film “12 Years a Slave” (2013). Her performance in the film earned her numerous accolades, including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, making her the sixth black actress to win an Oscar in that category. Lupita is also a Kenyan, daughter Anyang Nyong’o.

We all know the story. It’s a tale as old as time. Princess meets pauper, both fall deeply in love. The pair may look odd to most people but to each other, they are just fine, everything is just perfect!

I mean many of these relationships do not or out in the end -but hey, at least they tried!

Brenda Wairimu and Juliani

When Brenda Wairimu and Juliani began dating it was literally the talk of the town. Seeing as Juliani was kind of the opposite of what people expected a girl like her to be with, nobody understood or even believed the rumours when they began because they had initially kept it a secret.

However, with time, people went from misunderstanding their relationship to being stans (especially once they got their beautiful baby girl).

Like most badly written fairy tales, theirs also did not have a happy ever after as they parted ways after a while.

Juliani found himself on the lips of many Kenyans in the second half of 2021 after he was accused of being the reason why Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua lost his wife Lilian Ng’ang’a, who got into a relationship with Juliani immediately after leaving the governor and her post as Machakos county first lady.

Vera Sidika and Otile Brown

Yes, their relationship ended in a fiery ball of contempt and revenge fuelled statements, but when they started dating, all had to admit that they were one of the cutest couples to exist at the time (remember when Chaguo la Moyo came out?).

Their breakup revealed however how everything had been going on in their relationship. Turns out Vera Sidika had been financing everything that they did and in the end, she felt as if she had been used.

Vera is currently dating Fredrick Kilonzo, Popularly known as Brown Mauzo and they have a child together.

Shakillah and Eric Omondi

When they started dating it was seen as a stunt from the show that Eric called ‘Wife Material.’ Shakilla was not famous then, in fact, she came from a rather impoverished family but upgraded her life massively when she started with Eric by her side.

Now she is said to be worth millions of shillings and she is only getting richer and richer. She’s rumored to be currently dating a tycoon who flies her everywhere she wants to go now so it is safe to say Shakilla is living the life she always wanted.

Anerlisa and Benpol

Anerlisa has always been known as the billionaire heiress in Kenya and in that regard, she always has had the financial upper hand n her relationships.

It originally looked like they were both alright with the power imbalance in their relationship but it has recently come out that they were in fact completely not.

She took to her Instagram a while back to ‘advise’ her followers to never date people that aren’t in the same financial league as they are. She said they will use them, even if it doesn’t look like they are.

To be able to combine your work, pressure from your fans, and your private life all as you keep yourself healthy and good looking is a skill that is most certainly not taught in schools.

To be able to look good, contrary to popular belief, is actually a trait that needs recognition.

Celebrities gain popularity and fame for different reasons. It could be because of their music, their acting or simply because of something spectacular they have done.

However, there are celebrities in Kenya and even across the world who have become famous simply because of their bodies.

Take for instance Kim Kadarshian who is known for her huge butt! Well, in Kenya, it’s no different because there are celebrities who are famous just because of their bodies! Here is a list of these celebrities:

Vera Sidika

Queen Vee was among the first Kenyan celebrities to be known for their huge behind. Before becoming a socialite, Vera had been a plus-size model since she was 17 but her big break came in 2012 when she featured as a video vixen in P-Unit’s song “You Guy”.

At the time, Vera was still a student at Kenyatta University pursuing art and design. After that, she was featured in Prezzo’s music video, “My Gal” and further making her one of the most famous video vixens.

This socialite is yet another one who’s known for her big butt and tiny waist. This Kamba bae has left many men salivating for her while women envy her for her killer body.

Amber Ray gained popularity when Bouart, a renowned Kenyan photographer posted her pictures on his page where she was scantily dressed. It is then that she gained a massive following.

She is an entrepreneur and owns a beauty line, Huddah Cosmetics.

Corazon Kwamboka

Born in 1993, Corazon Kwamboka became popular when she would post photos of her curves and huge butt on social media. She became really famous when she shot pictures of her nude self and posted them to her social media accounts.

And with Kenyans being Kenyans, many took those pictures and set the internet ablaze. It was then that socialite Corazon Kwamboka was created. She has been known to date white men but eventually settled down with fitness coach, Frankie Just GymIt and have a son together.

Risper Faith

The socialite and actor also grew famous for having a bootylicious body making her one of the most sought after socialites in East Africa. She was also featured in Nairobi diaries where her fame even grew bigger.

Risper is, however, now happily married and has a son. She recently lit the internet when she underwent cosmetic surgery to help restore her body to how it looked before she got pregnant.

All is conquered by love. At least, that’s how it appears to the majority of people. The second wife position isn’t a problem for many ladies out here, as long as they’re married, of course. Being a second wife is considered the worst sin by some. Here are five stunning women you probably didn’t realize were second wives.

Women Rep. Esther Passaris

Esther Passaris, the Nairobi County woman representative, is one of the most attractive politicians we’ve ever had! Passaris disclosed that she is a second wife in an old interview. Many Kenyans were taken aback since they had not expected it and were brought aback when she said it on national television.

Amber Ray

Faith Makau, AKA Amber Ray, has been a second wife to more than one Kenyan man. He was the second wife to Zaheer Jhanda. Recently, he was the second wife of Jimal Marlow, AKA Jimal Rohosafi. She is the self-proclaimed head of the second wives club. Amira is the name of Jimal’s first wife and now her archnemesis. Amberay’s announcement that she is married to Jimal sparked a lot of controversy.

Amira says she found out about Amber Ray on social media in an interview with radio queen Massawe Japanni. She had no idea that her husband had taken up with another woman. Something she considered repulsive and inconsiderate. She stated:

“Ukiwa unaoa mke wa pili unafaa umjulishe mke wako wa kwanza, so kama kitu haujaambiwa ati anaenda kuoa ama nini, kwangu mimi siwezi nikaichukulia sawa. Sio sawa kwangu na haitawahi kuwa sawa. Dini inaruhusu lakini mimi sikujulishwa”

Loosely translating to “ When you marry a second wife, it is kind to inform your first, so I did not take it kindly when it happened without my knowledge, It’s not right to me and will never be. My religion allows polygamy but I should have been informed first”

Suzanna Owiyo

Suzzana Owiyo has managed to keep her personal life out of the spotlight – Well – until now. She is a well-known performer and songwriter. Suzanna has been married as a second wife for over 17 years.

Emmy Kosgei

Emmy Kosgei is an award winning gospel singer who is married to Anselm Madubuko, a Nigerian preacher. In 2013, Anselm married Emmy after losing his wife to a heart attack. In comparison to Emmy, Anselm is significantly older.

After that, the singer explained why she married a Nigerian man nearly twice her age. She claimed that younger men had failed her in previous relationships, which is why she chose to marry an older man. The Nigerian is a pastor.

Yvonne Okwara

Yvonne Okwara previously revealed that she had to change her wedding venue several times because she was afraid that her husband’s first wife would storm the venue and ruin the event. She is currently married to Andrew Matole, with whom she is very happy.

In the past, women could have kids as early as thirteen years. Girls were being married to men at only fifteen years. Once the white man invaded our land, everything changed. In the westernized world, it is not okay to have kids at a very tender age.

Nowadays, people focus on their careers, date for years, and by the time they are settling down, they are almost twenty-eight years of age.

Giving birth before you are old enough has become such a controversial topic because, in your early twenties, this is the time when you are building your future, you couldn’t have both. Here are a few celebrities who got pregnant and became parents at a very tender age.

Victoria Rubadiri

Citizen News anchor Victoria Rubadiri got pregnant when she was eighteen years. The news anchor said she was still in school when she got pregnant and tried to juggle between school and taking care of her baby girl.

Kate Actress

Catherine Kamau AKA Kate Actress got pregnant at just nineteen years. Today, she advocates for girls not to get pregnant at a young age. She says raising a child, especially when you are young, is not an easy job.

In an interview on youtube with Mc Jessy, Kate revealed that she got depressed after her baby daddy ran away making her take all the responsibilities for her baby, lucky for her, her parents were supportive.

Not every celebrity was as skinny or chunky as they look right now. Surprisingly, most Kenyan celebrities started off as being overweight while some were skinny.

But as days go by, some decide to cut off some weight while some try to gain a few kilos-you know-in the right places.

A while back, there was a certain challenge in which where people were posting their throwback pics with the caption, ‘I wish I met you earlier’ and honestly, these pics should be put back, ASAP! Celebrities look so different! Below are a few celebrities with the most amazing body transformation that we love to see.

Tanasha is one celebrity who goes for anything that she wants. She revealed that she doesn’t give up unless she achieves her goals and truth be told- She is not stopping.

Lately, she has been serving body goals that have left both men and women drooling. Have you seen her tummy? You wouldn’t believe she is a mother. Goals!

Risper Faith

City socialite Risper Faith once said that after delivering her son she did not like her body. She underwent liposuction surgery to remove excess fat from her body and that is how she bid all her weight struggle goodbye.

Not all netizens agreed with her decision to undergo cosmetic surgery but honestly, we are happy for her. We should only care about how we feel about ourselves- Not other people’s opinions.

If Risper Faith felt like she wanted to shed off some weight, let her be. In case you didn’t know, her hubby sponsored the procedure.

Kalekye Mumo

Former radio queen Kalekye Mumo lost 40 kgs in less than one year. Talk about determination, resilience, and hard work. Today she stops time every time she steps into a room.

He received a lot of congratulatory comments from his friends and colleagues.

Annerlisa Muigai

Annerlisa had a dramatic weight loss journey. Looking at her social media and all I can say is Whew! Even with a banging body, that hasn’t stopped her from going to the gym.

There is a lot of pressure to lose weight and to have a certain body type. Also, a lot of people go to the gym, only to take selfies and post on social media. Remember you are only fooling yourself.

All I can say is, do what makes you happy- Eat that burger if you have to, after all, si mlisema mbinguni tunapewa mwili mpya?

You know it, I know it –Kenya is full of beauties.

And what’s most incredible about this is that they come in all shapes, sizes, even tribes.

This applies even better when it comes to pop culture. Our celebrities are as diverse as they come –and they are all stunning. Some of them, however, choose to keep shorter hair and embrace some of their other hot qualities!

Here are some of the most beautiful celebrities with short hair. Pro tip –they’re drop-dead gorgeous!

Corazon Kwamboka

Corazon Kwamboka took over the internet years back and she hasn’t let go of it just yet! The bootylicious beauty keeps her hair short, and her looks nice and natural.

She is well known for her big behind but more than that she experiments on her shorter hair, and from the looks of it, her fiancé Frankie Just Gym It loves it all the same.

Corazon has said that she prefers to keep her hair short just because she doesn’t like hair all over her face and we get it too. She just became a new mom and is expecting a second child soon, so it’s even more obvious why she’s probably about to chop it all off again!

Fun fact: there’s s stereotype that goes with Box cuts and women that have ample figures and it sorta fits, no? Either way, she’s gorgeous and killing it!

Akothee

Akothee keeps her hair short and has been known to always be that way.

This doesn’t mean that a woman with shorter hair cannot experiment with wigs and other beautiful hairstyles. An example is when Akothee had the celebrations to the first anniversary of her charity organization, “The Akothee Foundation”, at Kempinski and she graced the event rocking a gorgeous wig unit that was totally different from her normal style and she looked incredible!

The only other kind of wig she wears regularly is the afro wig that she wears quite often. Otherwise, the mom of six frequently shows off her short dresses and is not afraid to show out!

Makena Njeri

Just because she’s lesbian does not mean she is not absolutely beautiful!

Makena Njeri has always kept shorter hair, but her beautiful smile and flawless skin complement her look perfectly!

Makena takes many photos of herself and oddly enough, she has never done any creative styles on her glorious hair. She keeps it short, neat and classy 24/7 and it looks great on her.

Even so, give us some cute cuts, Makena, were curious to see!

Terry Anne Chebet

Ever since she left the newsroom, Terryanne has been rocking her natural shorter hair left and right!

She seems to be stuck between keeping slightly longer short and cutting it to half an inch short but always tries to get creative with her crown.

Of late she has been going ham with the wigs (side note: have you noticed a kind of wig-mania on Nairobi lately?), spending heavy coins on them but it has been paying off because she looks just as adorable!

Terry is proud of her shorter locks and we couldn’t help but be jealous of her amazing confidence!

But to a celebrity, being ‘fat’ is not ‘it’ and never will be. Being a mom is just a competition between yourself and your haters to see whether you’ll lose weight fast enough and if that weight does not come with curves? forget about having a fanbase.

Avril

Avril often talked about her experience as a new mom. immediately after she gave birth to her son, Avril did not lose the weight ‘fast enough’, in fact, she gained a whole lot of weight.

Some celeb kids are already minting bags of money and we can only sit on the sidelines cheering them or perhaps allowing the envy in our hearts to stew.

But We aren’t like that are we? We love watching everyone win because positive vibes are what we are all about.

It is actually a very smart evolution of showbiz business that their celebrity parents have realised that they could potentially pay for their own education and living standards with a little mentorship and help with posting on their IG accounts -let’s face it, a day old infant is not doing no posting on the app to endorse the products they have been contracted to.

So who are some of Kenya’s most successful celeb kids who are now in the ranks of rich kids? Let’s dive right in and have a look.

Ladasha Belle Wambo

Size 8 and Dj Mo’s daughter, Ladashabelle was the first infant to get a deal just days after she was born. Both she and her mother were signed onboard to market a diaper brand known as Softcare. And even before she was born, a hospital had reached out to Size 8 and offered to handle the pre and antenatal care.

Notice the headphones… It’s a masterful and subtle way to push that brand which is owned by Kenyan based producer, J. Blessingz.

Tugi Njugush

Mummy and daddy (Celestine Ndinda and Njugush) have started their own clothing line called BeKnit and who did they sign as their first influencer for the brand? Their very own son, Tugi. He is busy helping mummy and daddy secure the familial bag and loving every moment of working with them.

On top of that, he is part of the family package for Bountiful Safaris. Talk about your parents putting you in pole position to win at life.

Gweth Ombima

King Kaka and Nana Owiti’s daughter already has a contract to endorse Marini Naturals, a local hair and beauty cosmetic product that is the creation of Michelle Ntalami. She has been tasked with looking fabulous and showing off her flowing locks.

Heaven Bahati

She has to be the most hardworking child celebrity given how many endorsement deals she is engaged in. When she’s not popularising a clothing store then she is pushing health care plans courtesy of a city hospital:

She’s even pushing foodstuff along with her parents. And the list goes on. I tell you Heaven Bahati is one of the most hardworking toto celebs.

Yaani while I was busy playing with mud, these toddlers are earning enough money to even buy themselves state of the art phones. And to think that I, a fully mature adult, have to use a tululu because my phone was jacked while the matatu I was in snaked its way past Globe Cinema Roundabout.

In my next life my mother and father had better be celebs.
