American adult film star Kira Noir recently expressed her astonishment and delight upon discovering her image immortalized as graffiti on a Kenyan matatu.
The story began when a photo of the matatu, adorned with a striking portrait of Noir, surfaced online.
A Kenyan netizen on X uploaded a photo of a minibus with her image and captioned, @thekiranoir Hi.
She further retweeted the post on X, saying, "chat, is this real?" alongside a link to the image.
Her reaction quickly went viral, with Kenyans flooding the comments to confirm the matatu's existence and share their enthusiasm.
"Lol yeah, that's a public bus in Kenya, I've seen it before," one user responded.
Another adult film star Maya Ferrel commented, "So I was just in Kenya in December and all their public busses are actually private. And every bus is like pimped out in American black culture. So I could definitely see them having your face on the bus. There's Migos bus, Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, Tupac, biggie. A lot of them are musicians. And people would know where the bus would go based off of what famous person was on them."
Kira's initial disbelief evolved into appreciation as she engaged with the flood of responses from Kenyan fans.
Another X user questioned whether the graffiti artiste tried to put a bra on the photo, but Kira responded with the actual pic saying, "lol I was wearing a bra in the original picture."
For her part, Noir seemed genuinely tickled by the tribute.
Kira Noir first began her career in the adult entertainment industry in 2014, initially working as a stripper before transitioning to webcam modeling and eventually starring in adult films.
