Comedian Elsa Majimbo's Outrageous Dowry Claim ¶
Kenyan comedian Elsa Majimbo has sparked outrage on social media after claiming her dowry is 4 million dollars.
Speaking during an interview with NTV's Dr Kingori, Majimbo said she doesn't expect a broke man to approach her, describing her type of man as 'rich.'
She further stated, 'I have a type and my type is rich…my dowry is 4 million dollars.'
However, her remarks didn't go well with most social media users who slammed her for exaggerating her dowry price.
One Twitter user said, 'Women think they are the only ones who should have standards. A man mentions his standards and he is called toxic and misogynistic. People are not property to be bought. Prizes are won, not bought. Don't be afraid to reject and call out this type.'
Many netizens took to social media to express their opinions on Majimbo's claim, with some calling her out for being unrealistic and others defending her right to have standards.
As of July 4, 2020, the interview with Dr Kingori was still making waves on social media, with many users sharing their thoughts on the matter.
