Popular social media personality Huddah has once again made headlines with her outspoken views on various topics, this time sparking a heated debate in Nairobi.

Just days after facing backlash for her comments on American rapper Lizzo's weight, Huddah took to social media to express her support for condom billboards in the city.

She challenged Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko to remove alcohol billboards and replace them with condom advertisements, stating that sex should be a topic of open discussion in Kenyan society.

"Stop advertising alcohol on billboards! Everywhere in Nairobi is alcohol billboards and cigarette ads, they should be banned. Stop glorifying bad things," Huddah wrote.

She also emphasized the importance of safe sex, suggesting that condom billboards should be ubiquitous in the city.

"Let's promote more Condom billboards. Why is that banned? Why is safe sex not a discussion? Why are we scared to talk about sex in this bedroom called Nairobi? Next to an alcohol billboard should be a condom billboard. Condom Ads should be everywhere," she stated.

Her comments have sparked a range of reactions from Kenyans, with some supporting her views and others criticizing her for being too outspoken.
