Kenyan socialite Vera Sidika has grown tired of people doubting her pregnancy and has taken to social media to challenge the claims. In an Instagram post on June 28, 2021, she offered Ksh. 5 million to anyone who can provide evidence that she is not pregnant or that she is paying someone to carry her pregnancy.
According to Vera, she is willing to pay upfront for anyone who can prove that they are carrying her child. She emphasized that no one can take care of someone else's child like the mother, and that even if a surrogate is paid well, they still can't change their lifestyle for someone else's child.
"I would NEVER let a surrogate carry my pregnancy. A surrogate can never carry & take great care of a pregnancy as much as you personally would. Who can quit alcohol; have super diet etc for 9 months for the sake of a baby that isn’t theirs? Even if they’re paid handsomely. Just ain’t the same unless they under 24 hour surveillance for 9 straight months," Vera wrote.
