Pritty Vishy, the Kenyan social media personality and musician, has recently faced a wave of backlash after making a public appeal for fans to buy her a fridge. The request, shared on her social media platforms, has sparked a variety of reactions from her followers and the public.
In her post, Pritty Vishy explained that she was in need of a new fridge and asked her fans to contribute towards purchasing one. She shared the specifics of the model she desired and provided details on how her followers could assist in the purchase.
The appeal did not go as planned, as many people took to social media to criticize her for what they viewed as an inappropriate or excessive request. Critics argued that as a public figure with a significant following, she should be able to afford such necessities on her own. Some felt that her plea for assistance was unprofessional and reflected poorly on her.
On the other hand, a portion of her fanbase expressed support, with some offering to help or encouraging others to contribute. They argued that it’s not uncommon for public figures to seek support from their followers for various needs.
The backlash highlights a broader discussion about the expectations placed on social media influencers and celebrities, particularly regarding their financial responsibilities and the appropriateness of soliciting help from fans.
Kenyan social media personality Pritty Vishy has sparked a significant reaction from the public after she asked her followers to help her buy a new fridge. Her appeal has been met with a mixed response, including some scathing criticisms and humorous comments.
Tashley Tugi expressed frustration with what she perceives as an unrealistic expectation for lavish lifestyles funded by others. She commented, “It’s delusional how ‘we’ always want a lavish lifestyle on other people’s expenses. 😂😂🙌” suggesting that people often expect high standards of living without understanding the financial implications.
Amthegodfx_ humorously noted that if Pritty Vishy provided her payment details, he might consider buying the fridge but would not want her to say she has romantic feelings for him. He wrote, “Alete number nimnunulie na asiseme namtaka 😂😂😂 ju, nitafaint,” reflecting a mix of amusement and skepticism.
Galinacarolina reminded others that Pritty Vishy had previously asked her fans for a smaller amount to buy sanitary pads. She said, “Asisahau kuna siku alianika fan wake juu ya kumuomba 100 ya pads 😢😂😂,” highlighting a perceived inconsistency in her requests for help.
Kikuyu Og._ jokingly suggested that Pritty Vishy should join youth protests, implying that she might end up acquiring a new fridge if the demonstrations are successful. “Let her join Gen-Z in the demonstrations, she might end up rewarding herself with a brand-new refrigerator if it goes well,” he wrote.
_H34trs.4.maya posed a rhetorical question about whether they should contribute to her fridge fund or support Boniface Mwangi, a known activist. “Tutachangia huyu wa fridge ama Boniface Mwangi freedom fighter 😂,” he mused, contrasting her appeal with support for a social justice figure.
Daisey Awour56 criticized the growing trend of new celebrities who ask for help instead of seeking financial stability through employment. She remarked, “What happened to looking for a job so that I can be financially stable and buy my own things? These upcoming celebs with zero titles have become begging machines who are lazy to work.”
Sammy_i4 offered a humorous alternative by suggesting he has a functional fridge that might be less than ideal but could serve the purpose. “Niko na fridge ile kubwa ya Samsung but haina mlango, but it’s working properly. Ataieka tu curtain aingalishe ukuta,” he joked, proposing a less glamorous but practical solution.
Kwamboka Linn defended the idea of asking for help, stating that it’s not shameful and that receiving support from others can be beneficial. “It’s not shameful to ask for help…. And people boosting you in life isn’t bad… aweeke till ❤️💯,” she said, offering a supportive perspective.
Beverlyn Davids also made a playful comment about whether the public should contribute or forget about supporting Pritty Vishy. “Wakutaptap wamekataa ama sisi itabidii utusahau tu,” she wrote, indicating the mixed reactions about her request.
