The Fenty Beauty launch in Kenya was themed to be a night of glamour, elegance, and fashion.
Considering the babe behind Fenty, the newest mom in town Rihanna, it was expected that the invitees would mostly be skincare and makeup enthusiasts and content creators who zero around makeup. As well as now other media personalities and content creators.
But that was not the case and angry Kenyans have taken to social media to call out the organizers of the event. Claiming that if Bad girl Riri was in attendance she would have cancelled her product launch and taken it to Uganda.
Miss Universe Kenya 2019 and once again 2021 titleholder ( hello fine babe!) Miss Stacy Michuki took to her Instagram stories to post her disappointment.
She wrote," Wait, so this was a beauty launch and we did not have beauty gurus like Muthoni Njoba, Eman Sallal, and Steve Koby just to mention a few. And so many other amazing upcoming MUA (Make-up artists) in attendance?? Hmmm!"
Accompanied by a meme of a confused and truly shocked lady.
The above mentioned are big Kenyan names in the beauty industry, Muthoni was named Maybelline Kenya ambassador, while Eman is an acclaimed makeup artist who has masterclass makeup classes and her own beauty products line. Steve is also a professional makeup artist, model, hairdresser, and a real Jack of his craft.
Gaylyne Ayugi, a veteran Kenyan model and beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned as Miss Universe Kenya 2014 and represented the country at the Miss Universe 2014 pageant also took to her socials to share her disappointment.
And the 27-year-old damsel was not holding anything back.
She said she was not surprised as she already knew the event was going to be a social meetup of our everyday influencers, " but didn't we already say this event was gonna be a meetup for the kawaida influencers who go for everything but do not deliver. We expected looks to be served... so far I've seen some an wueh, just laughing. I don't tire for this your influencers."
A fan replied letting her know one of our renowned chefs, rugby 7’s player Dennis Ombachi popularly known to his fans as Roaming Chef, had been sent a Fenty PR package, and just like his viewers, he was equally confused during the unboxing.
