Jamaican musical icon Garfield Spence better known by his stage name, Konshens has cemented his place in the Kenyan music scene as an icon who is celebrated often.
Konshens has won girls’ hearts with his gyal tunes, with songs such as ‘Bruk off ya back’, anthems that resonate with Kenyan fans.
Back in July 2024, he performed at the Summer Jam fest in Germany, where he waved the Kenyan flag, displaying his allegiance.
Even socialite Vera Sidika’s impact in the entertainment industry cannot be ignored. Her ample body this past weekend captivated audiences as she partied alongside Rayvanny in Eldoret. Her derriere took centerstage.
Digital influencer Bravin Yuri through his socials wrote how most people don’t really recognize the contribution Konshens and Vera Sidika have brought to the Kenyan music and dance scenes.
“Many people don’t recognize the impact Konshens has had on Kenyan culture both music and dance.” He began by writing on his Instagram page.
The Political Scientist, continued to say that the vigorous dances would not have become popular, were it not for Konshens and his music.
Audiences know this as bubbling, walking and whining.
“Tw**king became a wave because of Konshens. I was still on campus. Before that, we were all just gully creeping, sliding, helicoptering and more.”
Adding
“Ever since the dancehall artist dropped the song, Gal a Bubble he pushed hard the consumerism of Riddim whereby women have never again faced men face to face or even directly while dancing. They have always given them their behind.” He continued to write
The content creator also talks about Brazilian cosmetic surgery many female celebrities undertake, commonly referred to as BBL.
Vera’s backside gained fame in the video , ‘You Guy’ by P-Unit and Collo which changed the perception and type of video vixens witnessed in the entertainment industry.
“Same thing with BBL. Before Vera Sidika on You Guy, Kenyans were never really into BBL. That music video changed so much perception and even the type of video vixens in videos.”
Bravin continued to say that men cared about different characters in ladies and having a big backside was never a consideration that they preferred.
This was the beginning of the obsession with ny*sh and since then, pressure has been getting worse. Before that, men cared about very different things about women they wanted and ny*sh was never one of these obsessions.
Many points have impacted the Kenyan culture and taking a troll down that memory lane can teach you a lot.” He completed his statement.
