KOT Reacts to Vandalized Benz of BBC's Makena Njeri ¶
On July 9, 2019, Kenyan social media users woke up to the news of BBC's Makena Njeri's pristine white Mercedes Benz being vandalized.
According to reports, the vandalization is believed to be a result of a love triangle involving two other females, with Makena being the central figure.
The aggrieved female, in a fit of rage, targeted Makena's prized possession - her car.
She experimented with her graffiti skills, writing 'MAKENA CHEATER' on the side of the car with black spray paint and an angry expletive, 'FCK YOU', on the bonnet.
Kenyan social media users, known for their witty humor, took to Twitter to express their reactions to the incident.
Some users couldn't help but poke fun at Makena's fashion sense, with one user joking that she matches her outfits in a way that would make any girl fall for her.
Others took a more serious tone, with one user questioning why men think they're the better option just because Makena cheated.
One user even joked that he would cheat with Makena, while another user advised against making the story about Kenyan men.
As the news of the vandalized Benz spread like wildfire, Kenyan social media users couldn't help but create hilarious memes to express their reactions.
