Beauty entrepreneur and socialite Huddah Monroe has sparked a conversation on social media after sharing her desire to reincarnate as a lioness in the Maasai Mara rather than as a human in Kenya.
Her statements, made on her Instagram stories, reveal a deep-seated frustration with certain aspects of Kenyan culture and society.
Her comments were part of a series of posts where she candidly critiqued the fashion sense and lifestyle choices of the country’s wealthy elite.
A Preference for the Wild
In a direct post, Huddah stated her preference for a different kind of life in her next existence.
“My next life, y’all know I have already asked God if at all I’m to come back as a Kenyan, I’d rather be a lioness in the Mara,” she wrote.
This bold declaration was followed by posts that offered insight into the reasons behind her unusual wish.
Critiques on Kenyan Style
Huddah’s posts took aim at what she perceives as a lack of style among the country’s affluent population. She criticised “Kenyan rich” and “wealthy ones” for dressing “like they are sinking in poverty”.
She also made a specific point about politicians’ dress sense, adding a laughing emoji.
“But what did fashion style do to rich Kenyans? Even the wealthy ones dress like they are sinking in poverty. Look at you all politicians,” he stated.
She contrasted this with her own experience, noting that she grew up in the ghetto, where the real drip was cherished.
“I grew up in the ghetto, that is where the drip was. Look Diriba. Money can’t buy style or class,” she claimed.
Disdain for Cultural Norms
The beauty entrepreneur also expressed disdain for certain cultural norms. In one post, she mocked Kalenjin weddings for their cowboy hats. She also targeted the Agikuyus, commenting on their fashion with a series of laughing emojis.
“Even Kalenjin weddings, they wear cowboy hats. Number 2 is Agikuyus with Mugithi,” she jeered.
In another post, she suggested her current location might not be in Kenya. She wrote, “Akinirudisha kwa hii nchi nitashangaa sana,” which translates to “If he brings me back to this country, I’ll be very surprised“.
