Kenya's Late-Night Instagram Shows: A Sensation During COVID-19 ¶
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread, Kenyans have found creative ways to entertain themselves at home. One of the most popular forms of entertainment has been late-night Instagram shows, which feature twerking and other explicit content.
These shows have become a sensation, with some earning millions of shillings. The most popular show, 'Club Covid Radio,' has been hosted by Xtian Dela, who has been at the center of controversy due to the explicit content featured on the show.
According to Xtian Dela, the show has raised a total of Sh1,452,680, with the highest amount raised being Sh594,180 in one week. The show has also been criticized for featuring nudity and explicit content, with some viewers expressing their outrage on social media.
However, the show continues to attract a large following, with many viewers tuning in to watch the twerking and other explicit content. The show's popularity has also led to the creation of other similar shows, including 'Nyonga Fest' and 'Sin City,' which are hosted by Vera Sidika and Huddah Monroe, respectively.
These shows have become a source of income for the hosts, with some earning thousands of shillings per show. The shows have also created a new aspect of partying while at home alone, with many viewers tuning in to watch the entertainment.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, it remains to be seen whether these late-night Instagram shows will continue to be popular or if they will fade away once the pandemic is over.
