Kenya’s Elsa Majimbo has continued to cause waves in Kenya and globally after she was nominated for the prestigious E! People’s Choice Award in the African Social Star category.

The coveted nomination comes only months after the 19-year-old social media sensation and influencer got a lucrative deal to showcase music megastar Rihanna’s Fenty line of sunglasses.

Elsa is popular for her punchy and relatable comical monologues on Instagram where she does her thing while eating crisps and the videos went viral during the period of the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns.

Locally it has not been easy for her though as she was once on the receiving end of vicious attacks by Kenyans on social media, who probably didn’t understand her brand of jokes. Who’s laughing now?
