A young Kenyan man has created a buzz in the streets of Nairobi by dressing up as the Jamaican dancehall icon Vybz Kartel.
Did Vybz Kartel visit Kenya?
The “Poor People Land” hitmaker was recently released from prison, making a striking appearance in an all-white outfit, complete with dark shades and a red bandana.
This iconic look left a lasting impression on his devoted fans. Capitalizing on this, the young Kenyan man emulated the style by wearing a similar outfit, complete with dark shades and a red bandana, causing a stir in Nairobi.
As he strolled through the streets of Nairobi, the young man drew a crowd of excited onlookers, with some mistaking him for the Jamaican dancehall star.
The scene appeared almost staged, leading some to speculate it might be a publicity stunt. The enthusiastic youths paid tribute to the beloved singer, who has a cult following in Kenya.
His antics sparked amusement online, with netizens sharing their thoughts and jokes about the rising trend of celebrity doppelgangers in the country:
- @heissam._: “Outfit on point. Even if Vybz Kartel doesn’t visit Kenya, we have ours.”
- @kamakia: “This proves that more than 67% of youth are unemployed in Kenya.”
- @brianmwenda_: “As long as he makes money.”
- @darius.mboya: “If you feel bored in Kenya, just say that you resemble a celebrity, and you will trend.”
- @azeezah_h: “If Vybz refuses to come in December, we will be sorted. He even knows how to dance Anguka Nayo.”
- @faustine_babatalisha: “Kenyans joke too much.”
