Kenyan socialite and influencer Vera Sidika alias Boss Vee has sparked conversation online after confidently pushing back against expectations that she must always keep up with the latest luxury trends.
The curvy beauty, known for her bold fashion choices, recently responded to a fan who suggested she should already be using the upcoming iPhone 17 because she is a “trendsetter.” The comment, shared via Instagram stories, quickly caught attention .
Laughing off the pressure, Vera Sidika questioned the idea that being a trendsetter automatically means chasing every new release or expensive upgrade. “Trendsetters wako na investments? Ama ata Range Rover?” she wrote, making it clear that financial priorities matter more to her than impressing people online.
In a refreshingly honest post, Boss Vee revealed that she doesn’t buy gadgets out of peer pressure. She shared that she used an iPhone 8 for eight years and is currently using an iPhone 13 Pro Max proof that longevity and practicality guide her choices, not hype. According to her, she only upgrades when her phone develops problems or runs out of storage. Boss Vee reminded her followers that real success isn’t measured by owning the latest phone, designer bag, or luxury car but by making smart, intentional decisions.
Fans praised her honesty, with many applauding her for normalising financial wisdom in an industry obsessed with appearances.
