Former Machachari actor Ian Nene, also known as Almasi, has been involved in a heated online exchange with trolls.
On December 8, 2019, he posted a picture with a Caucasian friend, which sparked rumors about his personal life.
A follower asked Ian Nene in the comment section, 'Sasa huyu ndo anakunyandua ama?' (Is this the guy sleeping with you or?),
prompting Ian to respond with a sharp retort: 'Babako ndio huninyandua ushasahau?' (Your father is who I sleep with or have you forgotten?).
The exchange triggered a flurry of comments, with many users echoing the phrase, 'The truth hurts.'
It appears Ian Nene is tired of the speculation surrounding his sexuality and culture.
He has been abroad for some time, and it is hoped that he will return to Kenya with a newfound perspective, just like Nick Mutuma.
