Kenyan socialite and reality TV personality Vera Sidika has finally spoken out about the rumours going around that she’s broke. This all started after she showed up to host an event at a club in Busia, and some people thought she didn’t look as glamorous as usual. Blogger Edgar Obare made things worse by making fun of her outfit and suggesting she’s run out of money. That sparked a lot of online gossip and judgement.
But Vera wasn’t having any of it. She went on Instagram and decided to shut it all down with a cheeky but bold message. She wrote, “This narrative y’all are forcing is funny. So, let me just set the record straight so everyone is happy and I can finally have peace. Yes, I am broke and it’s not a crime to be broke. Hope y’all can stop now. Love and light.” Her tone was clearly sarcastic—she doesn’t actually mean she’s broke—but she used the moment to make a point: there’s nothing wrong with going through tough times, and people shouldn’t act like it’s the end of the world.
She didn’t stop there. In another post, she added, “I can never be broke. Not in a million years. Previous statement is purely for the satisfaction of the haters.” Basically, she was poking fun at the rumours and making it clear that she’s still doing just fine.
Vera’s post got a lot of reactions. Some fans clapped back at the haters and supported her for being real. Others liked how she turned the whole situation into a joke and reminded people that being broke—if it even happens—isn’t something to be ashamed of.
