And as is usual for every other notable ‘jungu’ visiting the country, the icon whose full name is Madonna Louise Ciccone managed to visit some places in the country to ‘sight see’.

Madonna has expressed willingness to partner with the First Lady’s Beyond Zero initiative on improving maternal and child health programmes and other initiatives against gender violence.

She met First Lady Margaret Kenyatta at State House on Monday after visiting Kibera and meeting Mama Sofie who has reportedly overcome many odds while raising 14 children in a 10 by 10 foot room.

Afterwards, Madonna tweeted from Samburu saying, “With the Samburu tribe in the Kikuyu valley! 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪 Kenya!.”

Kenyans on Twitter (KOT) have picked that and are running with it asking weird and rhetorical questions as to who knows where Kikuyu Valley is.

My answer, ‘Pia mimi sijui’.

Away from Madonna’s seeming ignorance, she is a force to reckon with when it comes to music. She was ranked at number one on VH1's list of 100 Greatest Women in Music and number two (behind only The Beatles) on Billboard's list of Greatest Hot 100 Artists of All Time… That is big!

The ‘Material Girl’ achieved popularity by pushing lyrical content boundaries in mainstream popular music and imagery in her music videos.

So far she has 13 studio albums, with the first of them being the highly acclaimed self-titled album of 1983.

Rebel Heart which is her latest was released in 2015.

Her other albums are 1984’s Like a Virgin, Like a Prayer (1989), Erotica (1992), Bedtime Stories (1994), Ray of Light (1998), Music (2000), American Life (2003), Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005), Hard Candy (2008) and MDNA which was released in 2012.

Madonna has sold more than 300 million records worldwide and is recognised as the best-selling female recording artist of all time by the Guinness World Records.

She has also had acting roles in a number of films among them Dangerous Game, Evita, Die Another Day and Arthur and the Invisibles.

Madonna is the founder of several charities and foundations around the globe including ‘Ray of Hope Foundation’ and Raising Malawi – a non-governmental organisation that supports vulnerable children in the southern African country.
