Kenyan born comedian and social media sensation, Elsa Majimbo, has revealed that she has no plans of returning to her home country Kenya.
Majimbo shared the news in an interview with Forbes. She revealed that she feels like Kenyans were her biggest haters and were looking forward to her downfall, while other countries cheered her on.
“They were hell bent on my failure. 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,” she said.
The comedian who proudly identifies as South African, has been to Kenya a couple of times ever since she left, but only to see her family. She added that her family is the only reason she will be touching down in Kenya.
“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 a lot 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 added.
Majimbo who recently gifted herself a mansion in the US for her birthday, maintains that Kenyans have been the biggest haters and that she expected more support from them but only received backlash online.
