Socialite Manzi wa Kibera aka Wambui has opened up on her financial struggles, and how it has made her a laughing stock on social media. 

In an interview with Nicholas Kioko, Manzi was Kibera showed her mud house located in Ayany area, Kibera.

"I am not ashamed, at first I did not even want people to know where I stay... I wasn't confident. At first when I showed people my house... I did not expect them to contribute money for me. Right now I am used to it, anyone can visit me," Manzi was Kibera shared. 

The socialite said she can not move from a single room to a bigger one since she can not afford to pay more rent. 

"If someone can help me then it is ok. But I wouldn't want to stress myself with rent in a one-bedroom house. Sometimes I can not afford the 2500(current rent) how will I go to a 5,000 bob house? People were abusing me online, saying I pretend yet I live in the ghetto. I would love to leave this house," Manzi wa Kibera said amid tears.

She added that sometimes generous fans send her money when she says she is broke and has no food.

Despite her living conditions, Manzi was Kibera finds a way to slay in costly wigs or cheap ones that are made in her hood. 

"I have two legit wigs... one was bought by my friend Melisa in Germany. These other ones are braids made in Kibera, and the other two i was given by a shop to market them," she shared.
