Renowned content creator Elsa Majimbo, aged 23, has strongly refuted accusations suggesting that she harbors hatred towards her home country, Kenya.

The social media star, now residing in the US, took to her social media platforms to clarify her stance and express her deep admiration for South Africa.

In a tweet shared on her official account, Elsa Majimbo expressed her profound love for South Africa, highlighting the unwavering support she has received from South Africans both online and offline.

“Damn, I love South Africa. Like a ride-or-die kind of love. South Africans have shown up for me in ways that I have no words to describe. Just here to acknowledge and be grateful,” she posted on X platform.

Elsa’s fondness for South Africa has been evident through various gestures, including prominently featuring the South African flag in her social media bio—a symbolic representation of her enduring love for the country.

This clarification comes amid recent controversy where Elsa found herself in a dispute with Kenyan netizens. Allegations surfaced that she had made derogatory remarks about Kenya, leading to an uproar on social media.

In response, Elsa publicly offered a $1000 reward to anyone who could provide evidence of her allegedly saying, “I hate Kenya.” She strongly denied the claims, asserting that she had never made such statements and expressing pride in her Kenyan identity.

During this online scrutiny, singer KRG the Don joined the conversation and made an unusual offer to Elsa. He presented her with a substantial sum of $5 million to renounce her Kenyan citizenship—a gesture that received mixed reactions from the public.

In November, the 22-year-old comedian revealed that criticism based on her skin color motivated her to seek refuge in a nation where her complexion is celebrated. She spoke about facing colorism in Kenya and the negative comments she encountered, which fueled her decision to move to a place where her identity is embraced.

Kenyan comedian Elsa Majimbo, known for her viral rise to fame during the pandemic, has recently shared details about her past relationship with supermodel Naomi Campbell. This has sparked significant discussion online, particularly on social media platforms across Kenya and beyond.

Majimbo’s candid revelations provide insight into the initial connection, forged in December 2020 through social media outreach. Following an invitation from Campbell, the two engaged in activities like vacations and vlog appearances, leading many to perceive a mentor-mentee dynamic.

While Majimbo has acknowledged mutual admiration and support, her recent video delves into the complexities of the relationship. This personal account has offered viewers a glimpse into the often-unseen challenges and pressures associated with navigating connections within the public eye.

A miscommunication regarding a planned documentary project, which Majimbo pursued on her own initiative even though Campbell had suggested it to her, was one of the main causes of the rupture.

The two became estranged as a result, with Campbell lamenting what she saw as a lack of respect and communication for her mentorship.
Majimbo claims that Naomi also claimed credit for her quick ascent to stardom, a claim the comic refuted, claiming that while Naomi was a valuable resource, she wasn’t the one who “made her.”
She said as well that the Campbell introduced her to powerful figures in Hollywood.
Majimbo saw a drop in her celebrity influence after the split, which she blamed to her breakup with the supermodel.

Social media influencer and comedian Elsa Majimbo has made her desires clear when it comes to future partners: wealth is a non-negotiable factor. In a recent TikTok video, she declared, “I will not marry a broke man. I love rich boys! If you are not going to be an asset to me, then I will stay single. I will not have anyone as a liability. I always knew I would marry rich.”

Majimbo, known for her humorous and candid takes on life, wants a partner who offers not just love and good looks, but financial stability as well. “Since I was a child, I knew very well that whether I’m gonna get rich or not, I would end up rich. I’m going to marry for love and looks, but I’m also going to marry for money,” she asserted.

In another TikTok video, Majimbo offered a glimpse into her past love life, sharing her story of a first love at the age of 16. Though the relationship was marked by strange occurrences surrounding her boyfriend’s family wealth and potential danger, Majimbo remained devoted. “I didn’t really know the source of the family’s income because he was very shifty about it. Weird things would happen, like his house got gunned down or his brother got kidnapped at some point, and even knowing this immediate danger that was around me, I didn’t care. I was so loyal to this man. I was a ride or die for him,” she revealed.

However, the dynamics of their relationship shifted unexpectedly when Majimbo met Mike’s best friend. Despite being known for public displays of affection, Mike turned cold towards her in his friend’s presence. “Mike was someone who loved PDA, he would hug me, touch me, kiss me, this man would turn the world upside down for me. On this day, you would have thought he was a stranger. I held his hand, he would hold it for like five seconds and then pull away. I went home and cried, then later I brought it up to him, and he said that my hair had caught him by surprise,” Majimbo recounted.

While the story of her first love ended with disappointment, Elsa Majimbo remains clear about her future expectations. She seeks a partner who can contribute to her financial aspirations and provide not just love, but a stable and comfortable life.

Kenyan comedian and content creator Elsa Majimbo, who is residing in the US, has responded to those who have criticized her for wearing skimpy clothing and cosmetics.

Elsa, who never expressed regret, admitted that she knows her taste in clothing has changed but that she is not sad about it.

“I have seen a lot of comments saying how money has changed me so much. Of course, it has, are you joking? I was never humble; I was a victim of my circumstances. Do you know the difference? My net worth went through the roof; that’s what happened to the old Elsa. Oh, I am rich; even the laugh is rich”

Elsa recently encountered criticism for attending an international event without proper cosmetics and wearing a wig.

Getty Images provided the image of the content creator that went viral, and online users took issue with her appearance.

She was forced to clap back as critics expressed their dissatisfaction with her looks on X app.

In fact, Kenyans would rather stay away than stand up for one of their own, and South Africans started making fun of her for it.

Some Kenyans chose to remind her that she disowned her nation, and they left her to be ridiculed by South Africans.

She further explained that her financial success has impacted every aspect of her life, including her mannerisms.

“My net worth went through the roof; that’s what happened to the old Elsa. Oh, I am rich; even the laugh is rich,” Majimbo remarked with a chuckle.

Recently, Majimbo’s fashion sense came under scrutiny after she shared a photo that some fans deemed unfashionable. Critics urged her to refine her style and elevate her comedic content, which they felt had declined.

Majimbo’s path to stardom has not been without its challenges. She has faced criticism and disapproval from her own family for her online content. In an upcoming documentary, Majimbo reveals her family’s initial reaction to her videos. She recalls her older brother expressing his disappointment and stating that her videos brought embarrassment to the family.

Elsa Majimbo, a popular social media influencer and comedian, has spoken openly about her first relationship. She shared the intriguing details of the relationship on TikTok, revealing that it left an indelible mark on her life.

Majimbo’s first love story began when she was just 16 years old. She met a boy named Mike, and they quickly fell in love. They were inseparable, and everyone knew about their relationship, including Majimbo’s father, who hated Mike. Mike came from a wealthy family, but Majimbo didn’t fully understand the source of their wealth. She also noticed some strange occurrences, such as Mike’s house being gunned down and his brother being kidnapped. Despite the danger that surrounded her, Majimbo remained loyal to Mike.

One particular episode stands out in Majimbo’s recollection. It was the day Mike introduced her to his best friend. Majimbo had recently gotten hair extensions, and when Mike saw her, his face went blank. He treated her coldly for the rest of the time, barely holding her hand. This was a stark contrast to Mike’s usual affectionate behavior. He would usually hug, touch, and kiss Majibo, and he would do anything for her. But on this day, he seemed like a stranger.

Majimbo’s deep affection for Mike remained unchanged, but his changed behavior left her deeply unsettled and questioning her self-worth. She realized that the treatment she was receiving was a far cry from the affection and admiration she was accustomed to in their relationship.

Faced with this emotional turmoil, Majimbo made a difficult but necessary decision: she ended her relationship with Mike.

content creator Elsa Majimbo has received an array of expensive gifts from US superstar Beyoncé Knowles-Carter. The gifts include a pair of Amina Muaddi Royal blue shoes, a Tiffany and Co bracelet, and ILIA skin care products.

Majimbo shared photos of the gifts on Twitter, captioning them “This week’s gifts.” The shoes are Rosie Crystal Bow Halter Pumps, which retail for $1170. The bracelet is a round tag necklace in Sterling silver with the inscription “Welcome to the Renaissance,” emblazoned with “Beyoncé 925.” The necklace is part of Beyoncé’s custom-designed jewelry collection for Tiffany & Co, with all proceeds going to the About Love scholarship program. The program offers scholarship funding for students of the arts at five black colleges and universities.

Beyoncé celebrated her 42nd birthday on September 4 with a mega concert in LA’s SoFi Stadium. More than 70,000 fans attended the star-studded event.

In August, Majimbo took to Twitter to address a distressing situation in which she was pursued by a stalker in Los Angeles shortly after attending the star-studded Black Excellence Brunch held in the heart of Los Angeles.

Majimbo said that she directed her manager and business manager to distribute the funds to individuals and organizations that are working to make a difference in the world.

Award-winning comedienne Elsa Majimbo has once again rejected her home country Kenya, citing that she felt un-appreciated and rejected for her comical skits.

The jester has been bitter with Kenya ever since her departure to London, where she’s currently residing. She vows never to return to Kenya.

She said that Kenyans bullied her on the internet with colorist remarks and that they were praying for her downfall.

“I have a very complicated relationship with Nairobi. When things started going on well for me there was alot of backlash to me and there were alot of colorist things said towards me and surprisingly its people from Kenya who were doing that and they were bullying me on the internet,” she told Forbes.

“They were hell bent on my failure and it was so absurd. When the whole world was cheering me on Kenya was praying for my downfall so when I got the chance I packed my bags and I left. I’ll go to see my family but I left and I’m never going back.”

Majimbo is among 50 creators who have been identified by Forbes as the most powerful influencers on the Internet in a first-ever ranking, called the Top Creators 2022 list.

Watch her full interview below;

After breaking new ground and finding fame in her own terms, Kenyan comedienne Elsa Majimbo decided to move to a place where her talent would be appreciated; South Africa. Elsa described her new home as the perfect place to be.

According to Elsa, her relationship with her motherland Kenya isn’t a good one. To begin with, she complains about being trolled and bullied a lot. This is why she vowed never to return home.

Being a student at Strathmore University, Elsa says that she was massively criticized and felt like everyone in Nairobi was against her.

”I have a very bad relationship with Nairobi. I think I’ve faced a lot of bullying there… No, I’ve been bullied in Nairobi my whole life… It seemed like everyone in the city was against me. So most of the times I would just stay in the house, mind my own business.”

Newest Couple?

Away from that, Elsa rarely talks about her love life, nor posts anything about it. This time, Elsa has given us ideas that she’s taken. She has posted a cosy photo with whom is believed to be her new catch; with a love sticker on the photo.

Elsa Majimbo is however, yet to confirm if they are an item. But seeing is believing. And from the photo, we can conclude she has finally found her gem.

Elsa Majimbo is becoming a globally recognized name; which is associated with a simple piece of staged comedy. At only 19 years old, Elsa Majimbo is already being applauded for her unique kind of comedy by renowned artists worldwide, including Rihanna, Snoop Dogg, and many more. Her benevolent attitude when it comes to doing her comedy has kept her moving from critics; literally.

She began her comedy in Kenya, which is her home country. This might however come to pass as Elsa has disclosed her hate for Nairobi; where she received all kinds of criticisms. Being a student at Strathmore University, Elsa says that she was massively criticized and felt like everyone in Nairobi was against her.

She disclosed all this in a recent interview on ABtalks;

”I have a very bad relationship with Nairobi. I think I’ve faced a lot of bullying there… No, I’ve been bullied in Nairobi my whole life… It seemed like everyone in the city was against me. So most of the times I would just stay in the house, mind my own business. I was supposed to go to South Africa for 4 days, I left and never went back. I have a home in South Africa and I’m really glad I do… But Kenya is not that place”

Elsa has also claimed she’s not coming back to Kenya anytime soon. Elsa changing her citizenship will probably not come as a surprise to us.

Unlike most Kenyan comedians, Elsa has been able to fetch a global audience for her eccentric comedy. The 19 year old Journalism student has captured the attention of globally recognized icons like Rihanna, Campbell, Beyonce, Lupita Nyong’o, among others through her comedy.

Elsa started creating monologues in 2016, but as the pandemic hit and her semester came to a close, she decided to utilize the lockdown to revive her videos in 2020. Without a doubt, COVID-19 contributed to the rise in fame of the 19 year old. Her videos were watched more during this period. She now has over 2 million followers on Instagram from all over the world.

On one occasion, Elsa received gifts from American singer Beyonce, just days after getting a letter from Rihanna. Majimbo is probably one of the luckiest people on earth!

Nevertheless, Elsa also bagged a deal from Valentino, a renowned Italian fashion Brand. After wearing an outfit from the brand, she was contacted by them to be their brand ambassador. Of course, she wouldn’t think twice about it. She has now received gifts and flowers from them. She shared the amazing gifts on her twitter and wrote;

”Woke up to a Valentino gift and flowers”

What a way to start your morning. Keep winning Elsa!
