Content creator and humorist Elsa Majimbo has
continued to engage in bitter tiffs with her fans and haters a day after she
audaciously claimed that money had changed her and that she was never humble to
start with.
The Los
Angeles-based Kenyan skit maker and model, who found unimaginable success
during the pandemic period, rising to stratospheric fame and winning accolades
from global superstars, recently went live on Instagram to address her haters
and people she claimed were castigating her for 'changing'.
The
comedienne was addressing people who were saying that "money had changed
her" saying that, after striking it big, her standards just could never be
the same.
"I’ve
seen a lot of comments on how money has changed me so much, and my response is,
of course, it has. Are you joking? I was never humble. I was a victim of my
circumstances. Do you know the difference? What happened to the old Elsa? She
got her money up! My net worth went through the roof. That’s what happened to
the old Elsa. I’m rich now!" she bragged.
Shortly
after making the comments, which many deemed aloof and tone-deaf, Majimbo
received an avalanche of hate response from fans and detractors alike, with
many taking a dig at her comedy skits, calling them unfunny and bland.
Other people
even went further, singling out her obvious dark skin and noting that, even
after the millions she had made in Hollywood, none of it could change her dark
skin and African ancestry.
After hours
of silence, it appears that the sassy It-girl and model had finally felt the
brunt of the online negativity and was now coming out to point out,
specifically, what hurt her.
While taking
to X (formerly Twitter), Majimbo called out people dragging her skin into her
'rich girl' conversation, rebuking them for their crassness.
"Not
some of y’all saying money can’t wash my dark skin (vomit emoji) I rebuke you.
Yuck!" she posted.
After a fan
commented, "At this point they are just bitter cause what the....?"
Majimbo seemed to blame it all on skin color discrimination, saying,
"colorism is alive and kicking..."
After yet
another concerned fan, or hater in disguise, commented, "Don't let anyone
tell you are lightskin" she replied, "No I’m not. I’m darkskin and
love it!"
Elsa, who is
amongst the youngest people ever to be featured on Forbes, has achieved a lot
by the age of 21 in her relatively short content creation career that began
with idle, Covid-era internet skits.
Majimbo has
now been featured in countless campaigns and worked with numerous global brands
and celebrities even appearing at their exclusive Hollywood parties and red
carpet events.
Beyonce,
Rihanna, Naomi Campbell, Steve Harvey and Kelly Rowland are some of the major
international superstars Majimbo has had the chance to personally interact and
work with.
