Alex Mathenge has cautioned Kenyans not to fall for the lavish lifestyles celebs post on social media, he has come out to expose broke bigwigs.
In a post on his Instagram stories, the comedian stated that most celebrities in Kenya live in rental houses and have cars acquired through bank loans.
Mathenge noted that most celebs are broke and some are just surviving on corporate freebies. He lamented that being a celebrity in Kenya is extremely difficult as people have already set a standard of how you should be living life.
“It’s very hard to have a celebrity culture in Kenya. ‘Celebs’ hawana kitu wanaishi rental, gari ni ya loan na haina fuel ama amepewa lift tu! Influencers wanajaribu kujiita brand ambassadors lakini bado haiwork! Corporate wanasupport talent by giving out hoodies and freebies! Fans wanaweka skiza za TZ na Naija! Tusiblame celebs sana saa zingine wanaweza kosa confidence ya kuflex hapo kwa camera na rent haijalipwa na baby mama anazusha upkeep utume ama akuexpose kwa Edgar. (Celebrities are broke, they live in rental houses, drive cars that are on loan and sometimes they don’t even have fuel they just just hitch rides. Influencers try to brand themselves as brand ambassadors but still it doesn’t work. Corporates support talent by giving out hoodies and freebies. Fans use Tanzanian and Nigerian songs for ring back tones. Let’s not blames celebs at time, they lack confidence to be creative, they haven’t paid rents and their baby mamas are demanding upkeep threatening to expose them to blogger Edgar Obare)” Alex Mathenge wrote.
Even though Alex Mathenge didn’t name broke celebs by their names, Ringtone had earlier named celebrities who are still renting.
