Know your Kenyan socialites

They are beautiful, talented and work hard for their money no matter how they choose to get it. For that, they make demands, live the life they want and when rubbed the wrong way, you are an endangered species as they will make sure that the entire world knows all about it.

Akothee Arguably one of the richest singers in the country, her flashy lifestyle characterised by showing off and flaunting her wealth in people’s faces makes her a bitter pill for some to swallow. Unapologetic for her wealth and bigger than life luxury lifestyle, she takes to her social media every chance she gets to post every detail of her life.

From going for ultra sounds in South Africa to flashing images of her shopping expensive glasses in Paris as well as having dinner in a yacht, Akothee lives her life in full.

Huddah You would easily think that her bed mattress is made of dollar bills; it probably is! Huddah is that girl that no one can afford mess up with; ask Uganda’s King Lawrence is you ever meet him.

Last weekend, she was called on stage during the Luo festival to dance and instead, she rose up with her wine glass and cat-walked on stage before making a ‘mean’ exit. You are never sure what the former Big Brother Africa Kenyan representative will pull on you.

STL You just need to our Overheard page and read the latest she pulled last weekend...for only her is allowed to push some buttons that far. The Norwegian based rapper – STL - got some shade thrown her way by Nonini two years back after she refused to show up at Mojos where she was to make an appearance.

According to STL, the promoter failed to keep their end of the contract. She demanded for two bottles of champagne, two bottles of Chivas Regal, two bottles of Johnny Walker Black label and transportation from her residence and back on top of Sh30,000 she was to be paid for the night.

That was long time ago when Richot Brandy 250ml was the only thing celebrities could afford in the club and when Sh30,000 could translate to four months of rent!

Size 8 This gorgeous gospel artiste is another star who speaks her mind out; telling it like it is. Coming to the defense of Janet Mbugua last year, she told off a fan for criticising the TV presenter for posting her pregnancy photos on her Instagram.

Describing herself as an alpha female who likes things done her way, she admitted during an interview that she had difficulty being submissive to her husband DJ Mo at the beginning. And what would you expect of a size 8 hot money oozing talented and heaven bound star?

DJ Pierra The new mom to be (she could be a mum now as at the time we were going to press, there was every sign she would be) is one of the most sought after female deejays and for that she lays out her demands beforehand.

When it comes to club gigs she cannot take anything less than what she charges. And for that matter, her card rate reads Sh180,000 for most of her shows; and mind you, her calendar is full.

Victoria Kimani Many to date still remember the comment she made about wearing a ‘hijab’ to cover her curves. The beautiful singer who is nested in Nigeria where she is signed, even went further to admit she didn’t mind being looked at as a sex symbol. She admitted during an interview that she has no apologies for owning what is hers.

Ever speaking her mind she posted a long message on her Instagram sometime this year, which partly stated that just because she dresses in cute outfits on stage and TV doesn’t make her a prostitute. Yes, she said it!

Vera After bleaching her skin and revealing that she is now getting more demand for her services, the socialite spends cash ‘like it’s raining money’.

After a leaked screenshots of her conversations with a ‘client’ last year, she demanded for a business class ticket with emirates and $15,000 for her one week stay in Malaysia. She boasts of owning luxury cars and properties not forgetting her claims that she spends almost half a million on her weaves.
