Masterpiece is falling for the trap that has killed Kenyan celebrities

Masterpiece decided to go online and fake the funk on his IG account and that will definitely be a problem he has to deal with before he actually digs himself into a hole he cannot get out of.

The young gospel artist recently celebrated his birthday at an upscale restaurant at one of the five-star hotels that litter Nairobi’s landscape. I was under the impression that he had negotiated a deal with the restaurant’s management team that would have him enjoy the services for free and he markets the premises.

Or maybe Masterpiece has management that has negotiated a contract that would also pay for the meal and he would publicize their service or commodity. But that isn’t what he did. Apparently, he went out of his way to throw himself an opulent birthday party that saw him incur a one hundred thousand Kenya shillings bill.

All this with what we know about how Kenyan artists finances are set up, we are actually appalled that he would attempt to fake the funk for the gram and he will end up being another sad case like that of the late Papa Dennis.

 

You see, for any artist, the prudent thing for you to do when you have money is for you to keep stacking it up because Covid-19 isn’t a joke and it has virtually wiped out the entertainment economy that kept so many Kenyans afloat.

So to see Masterpiece commit well over one hundred thousand shillings to his entertainment at a high-end restaurant is to see him waste his money on frivolous pursuits and while I am not here to pocket watch, I am also not here to see a young man dig himself into a hole simply due to the fact that he wanted to flex for the gram.

Masterpiece must not have friends. He must not have good friends or they must really not like him so they are looking to see him fail and fall and this frivolous expenditure is an example of a great way to make him progress towards that end.

Kenyan artists need to do better. masterpiece needs to do better. Even if I assume that he is stacking dough during this Covid-19 situation, he should have stacked it. that would have been the smart play, the smart money.

Anyway, to each his own.

Masterpiece and Bahati cross-dressing is a hint of deeper proclivities

Masterpiece is one of Kenya’s most recent celebrities to crossdress or change their gender either using makeup, technology (filters) and really just wearing actual dresses. Bahati would be the next example to come to mind.

It has to make you wonder why Kenyan celebrities are doing this nonsense. Because at the end of the day, it serves no real purpose or entertainment value… Or does it?

An argument can be made that these weird challenges actually allow Kenyan celebrities such as Masterpiece to live their truth if only momentarily. These challenges also serve to entertain small-minded Kenyans bored to death in their Coronavirus self-quarantine.

While it is true that a recent trend saw Kenyans use apps to do gender swaps, today’s focus is on celebrities -especially gospel artists- who elect to put on women’s clothes.

And the reason for this focus is the stark contrast from American celebrities who vehemently decry being made to wear female clothes for shits and giggles at their expense and the expense of African American culture. The contrast between why Masterpiece and Bahati chose to wear dresses vs how your favourite actors and comics feel about being asked to wear dresses is interesting.

And Ringtone seems to agree. You see, there is a reason why African Americans refuse to look at the ask to wear female clothes and get made up fondly. It is because it is linked to racial humiliation and emasculation of their strongest men.

The trend of black actors and entertainers wearing dresses is a thing that was made not only powerful but brought to the forefront of black collective awareness by guys like Tyler Perry with his Madea bit. But make no mistakes about it, this trend goes back to the minstrel shows.

Why is the Kenyan gospel industry such a mess?

So why would Masterpiece and Bahati decide to rock dresses and act effeminate? One thing that marks the difference between Kenya and America when it comes to wearing dresses for entertainment is the racial issues that we haven’t really experienced.
However, perhaps this is the only way both lads can truly embrace who they are. Given how Kenya is conservative about trans issues, this might be the closest they get to embracing themselves and if that is the case, we shouldn’t judge them but infact encourage them to be their true selves.
