Memes and reaction clips flooded social media, with followers joking that her “Baddie energy” had officially reached luxury vehicle levels.
Out with the Old, In with the Benz
This new Benz comes just weeks after Murugi sold her Land Rover Discovery, fondly nicknamed Shaba. She had owned it for two years, describing it as a faithful companion and posting:
“I’m selling my baby. After two years with her, I want to try something new, so I’m letting go. She’s served me well, and I’d love to see my precious Shaba go to a loving home.”
The Land Rover’s features, including seven seats, a panoramic sunroof, a Harman Kardon sound system, and terrain response, were impressive, but Murugi hinted that it was time for a car that better matched her current vibe.
Social Media Reacts
Murugi’s Instagram post went viral almost instantly, sparking thousands of likes, comments, and shares.
Fans couldn’t stop talking about the “Baddie in a Benz” moment, while some joked about how she’s raising the bar for Kenyan influencers.
Even lifestyle pages and entertainment blogs picked up the story, making it one of the most talked-about moves by Kenyan influencers in January 2026.
