"I will be posting my surgery journey videos here, for those who have been thinking of getting booty surgery or changing anything in their bodies this might change your mind," she wrote.
And she doubled down on her revelation by chronicling titbits of hospital visits and surgery preparations on her Instagram stories.
"The side effects and risks of butt implants and surgeries do exist. The complications are unbearable. Some people don't make it out alive. Some are lucky enough to survive it. Ladies, don't ever do this to yourselves," she wrote in one post.
This was all a lie. It's great that the beloved socialite did not face life-threatening complications; but at the same time, it was another moment when she had played the public and made a fool of everyone.
After stretching the gimmick for days, Sidika released a music video, and her curvy body was intact.
"In the video, Vera raps about how she is still relevant in the industry and is making money through her ventures. This, however, did not go down well with some of her followers who castigated her for using a sensitive topic to chase clout," The Standard Entertainment and Lifestyle desk reported at the time.
The popular comedian and self-proclaimed President of comedy Eric Omondi is a personality known to be notorious for attention-seeking stunts.
From claiming to own a multi-million-shilling Karen mansion last year to going back and forth in online arguments with his colleagues, Omondi has done it all.
After years of putting the public through a roller-coaster that included false pregnancies, luxury cars he did not really own, and scripted shows purported to be a reality. His latest act has been that of cross-dressing.
He has however argued on multiple occasions that this is all part of a good creative process.
Last month, he defended comments he made about the music industry in Kenya in an interview with a local publication.
"What is the meaning of clout? You know the things I talk about are true. Is it true that Tanzanian and Nigerian music is ahead of us? Is it true that they are here every weekend? So where's the clout? People say it's clout because the things I say very few can say," he said.
And when he came under fire for revealing that his girlfriend, content creator Lynne Njehia had sadly gone through a miscarriage, he insisted that he posted a clip from the hospital in good faith, and not for clout.
"I would never joke about life," he said in an interview published on Eve Mungai's YouTube channel.
"Things like those are very sensitive. You learn, accept, and grieve," he said, adding that a clip he uploaded of Lynne crying at the hospital was done "very consciously."
He added: "Sometimes people need to be given a clear perspective, wasikuwe wanaskia tu. Because sometimes we don't appreciate our brothers, sisters, and especially our mothers."
At the beginning of the year, singer Bahati Kioko and his content creator Wife Diana Marua found themselves having to defend their luxurious lifestyle after fans questioned if they are truly as rich and successful as they claim to be.
In February, Bahati sensationally gifted his wife a fully furnished mansion estimated to be worth Sh27 million, a LandCruiser Prado TX worth Sh9 million.
"To those who are doubting that God can bless a poor boy from the slums let me confirm this, yes I am a boy from Mathare slums, and to those that believe God can raise a man from poverty to glory, May God do it for you too in Jesus name," Bahati said in response to naysayers.
