After news emerged last week that TV girl Kobi Kihara was using plagiarised photos to represent a life she was (never) living, Kibera's most followed socialite Akothee has written her disapproval to all Kenyan celebrities.
In a social media post, Akothee asked the celebs to stop faking posh lifestyles for the sake of attention.
“I live a better life than the one I present on social media. I have learned to be true to myself than pleasing human beings. That's why it’s easier for me to do what I want. If you live a lie you doing harm to yourself, because you will have to explain each and every situation like, my car is at the garage yet you have none! I am buying a new house, yet you and me knows you can’t even afford your rent as at now? You play with life too much!" she said.
“Live your life, fantasy is a killer of dreams, you will lie to people until the lies become part of your life and even end up lying to yourself, that’s why most people end up living a lie because they can’t face reality! Be you, and if they don’t like it, let them beat you or unfollow you! Or #calpolis, imagine they don’t care that much, they are having fun following your life! And just imagine it’s fake you have no option but to be strong, it can happen, people have done it, so you can,” said Akothee.
She also added:
“Do you think anyone would take your pain? Is there anyone who would take care of your children like you do? Do you think there is anyone who knows or cares about your dreams? Do you think there is anyone happy when you are successful? What will happen today if internets doesn’t exist? Do you think your life will be different without social media presence?" she posed.
