Kenyan socialites Amber Ray and Vera Sidika have been at loggerheads since Amber allegedly copied Vera's idea of a helicopter gender reveal party. The drama began when Vera and her husband, Brown Mauzo, hired a helicopter to reveal that they were expecting a baby boy. The couple set the bar high, and tongues started wagging after the flashy announcement. But barely 48 hours later, Amber and Kennedy Rapudo posted a video indicating that they too had hired a helicopter for their gender reveal party.

Netizens online quickly started calling out Amber for copying Vera, and the drama escalated from there. Vera was quick to defend herself, armed with receipts that she was the first to hold such an extravagant gender reveal party. However, Amber was having none of it and accused Vera of being broke, and living a fake lifestyle on social media.
