Presenter Kai faces backlash after referring to female fan as ‘Kienyeji’


Presenter Kai’s troubles seem far from over if his latest online drama is anything to go by.

The content creator has once again landed in hot soup after posting a photo of himself with one of his female fans.

While the picture itself did not raise eyebrows, it was the caption that rubbed many the wrong way.

On the evening of Saturday, November 8, Kai shared a photo of himself standing next to a stunning young lady at Pwani University in Kilifi.

However, while introducing her, he casually referred to the lady as a “kienyeji”, a slang word often used to describe a naive, simple, or village-bred lady.

“Nimepatana na huyu kienyeji wa Pwani University hapa Kilifi, ni vaibu sana🤣🤣🤣,” he captioned.

The post immediately sparked mixed reactions.

A section of fans praised Kai for being approachable, humble, and taking time to interact with supporters on the ground.

However, many others were not impressed.

Critics felt Kai had disrespected and embarrassed the lady publicly by using a term considered belittling.

Some reminded him that it was only the other day he was struggling financially and looking “frail,” warning him not to forget his humble beginnings now that fame has found him.

A few even demanded that he publicly apologize to the lady.

Despite the online uproar, Kai has remained silent on the matter.

Efforts by this writer to reach him for comment were unsuccessful.
