Kenyans React

While some of her fans congratulated her for the feat, many, specifically Kenyans took to bashing her for trying too hard to conquer the Kenyan market.

A section of netizens reminded her of their beef with her, dating a couple of weeks ago when she blasted Kenyans for attacking Tanzanian president Samia Hassan Suluhu.

Quite a multitude claimed they don’t want to see her performing at Kasarani holding that she is not even talented.

Others picked issue with organisers of the event, CAF for downplaying Kenyan artists and going for ‘foreigners’.

The critics insisted that Kenya is a hotbed of talents who should have been picked for the performance instead of Zuchu.
