Popular Kenyan content creator Azziad Nasenya is once again trending, this time, not for her fashion looks or dance routines, but for what appears to be a desperate plea for financial help while stranded in Nigeria.
A leaked voice note, allegedly from Azziad, has surfaced online and sent shockwaves through social media. In the audio, a female voice, believed to be hers, is heard pleading:
“Aki mama, I’m begging. As we speak, I’m in Nigeria. Kuna pesa ilifaa nitumiwe on Monday na haijatumwa. Niko stranded, nafaa kulipa mtu wangu wa nywele huku Nigeria. I only need Sh85,000.”
“Aki tafadhali, najua niko na deni yako but hii 85K nitakurudishia by Monday. Aki please, kila mtu najaribu kupigia anasema ni tricky. Naomba mama.”
The emotional appeal has sparked fresh debates about Azziad’s financial life and whether her glamorous lifestyle online is a facade. This leak comes just months after TikToker Mary Musyoka publicly accused her of failing to repay a KSh 300,000 loan, allegations Azziad strongly denied on her radio show Habari Shuffle.
In that earlier statement, she maintained that she does not borrow money to fund her lifestyle and that any personal debts are being handled privately. Her colleagues even came to her defense, praising her work ethic and character.But this new audio has left fans and critics asking tough questions. Is the pressure of public expectations too much? Is social media lifestyle inflation pushing influencers beyond their limits?
As the saga unfolds, one thing is certain: the court of public opinion is watching, and the spotlight on influencers’ financial realities just got a little bright
