5 Ways Kenyan Socialites Have Changed [Photos]

In the past 3 years, we've seen socialites rise and fall. Some of them have managed to cope with the uncertainties when it comes to sponsors, the hard economy as well as all the shade being thrown at them.

They have amassed a large following, as evident on their social media accounts. Vera Sidika's IG stands at 249K while Huddah's is at 549K at the time of this publication. We've noticed them change radically, not just moving from posting nude photos 24/7 to purchasing classy clothes but also how they talk.

For example, Vera's English in this video seems like it was purchased on eBay, LMAO.

Here are the most noticeable changes I have witnessed. You might agree:

Vera Sidika

Her breast upgrade and skin lightening. She is candid about it. Her Wikipedia page has a section describing her skin color changing controversy in detail. This ended up giving her intense media coverage, from appearing on the BBC to the New York Post. She has since gained clients tremendously. She has traveled more and acquired taste.

Risper Faith

The girl has gotten herself sponsors over the years. From being a much-hated video vixen (her cellulite in Blacky's "Money Maker" video) to a weave selling entrepreneur, she has come a long way. She used to have a fine body back in the days, but now she has gained too much weight and has a potbelly. She is trying to bounce back by use of waist trainers.

Vanessa Chettle

When she came into the limelight she had a white, old sponsor. For a long time, she denied being in the relationship, but once it ended, she came out accepting her past. As of now, she ain't got no sponsor. Aww.

Pendo

Pendo used to have a killer body. She was petite, had a fine ass and sexy waist. However, within a couple years, she gained weight. At one point, guys thought that her tummy was a sign of pregnancy. Shamelessly, she came out to say that she was FAT, NOT PREGNANT. Just recently, when I had an interview with her and took several of her pics, I noticed the prominent cellulite.

Corazon Kwamboka

Apart from the fact that she has put her clothes on, Corazon has also lost her original luster. Her body was mysterious; every Kenyan girl wished to have it. I don't mean that she has gotten uglier - or lost her shape, she has just lost a certain percentage of her sexy. She now has a tummy and has gained some weight.

Huddah Monroe's transformation is different >>

Huddah Monroe

She is wealthier now. She also has a better network of friends. There was a time nobody wanted to be associated with her. Huddah has gotten *smarter. Her Instagram captions have improved -- maybe having learnt from the Web. She was BLONDE! Huddah has also embraced a better dress code; it has gotten classier and more widely accepted.
