Here Are Kenyan Celebrities Who Actually LOOK Like Superstars…While The Rest Look Like Majamaa Wa Mjengo Na Wamama Wa Mboga (Photos)

Nobody embodied the quintessential look of a rock star quite like the late Prince Rogers Nelson did. Prince,who died over a week ago after some flu complications,could only be rivaled by his arch rival Michael Jackson when it came to sporting the trademark look of a global mega superstar.

Wild hair,bombastic wigs,flamboyant outfits,screaming pants,futuristic jewelry,sequined jackets,oversized sunglasses,outrageous shoes,eccentric stage presence,dramatic music videos – everything around these two dead superstars was the true essence of superstardom.

They didn’t just sing the part. They dressed the part. Looked the part. Walked the part. And lived the part.

In the female arena,we have Madonna and Lady Gaga. Beyonce and Nicki Minaj. Rihanna and Miley Cyrus… Women who have revolutionized diva fashion and style over the years,daring to try out the most outrageous outfits, don the most ludicrous wigs,attempt the most outlandish stunts and pull the most extreme moves in a bid to complement their musical dexterity with their look.

And then regionally we have Diamond Platnumz,a man who has mastered the full art of entertainment and is living it to it’s fullest.

Kenyan stars who LOOK like stars… From their hair,to their attire,fashion sense,style,cars,jewelry,character.

1. Willy Paul 
He has funky hair that is half dyed and maintains some very groovy haircuts. Wears tight-fitting designer vests and pants we don’t see on everyone everyday. Has quite the taste in shoes. Is not afraid to experiment on jewelry and fashionable suits. Is known to occasionally don ear rings and ear dots. Drives a car that screams celebrity. Has an onstage persona that oozes superstardom. Carries himself around with swag and grace. Total superstar.

2. Octopizzo 
He’s not just a dope rapper. He’s a visual spectacle too. This is a man who evolved from bad shies,oversized jeans and outdated tops to wearing the edgiest and funkiest suits and ties in town. He accessorizes his image further with colorful watches – and he prefers to wear two at a go-,classy sport shoes,a lot of pricey bling,a hairstyle that makes heads turn,faux tattoos,skinny jeans and also drives a very sexy car. Looks the part. 100%.

3. Sauti Sol 
The whole gang has NOT been afraid of experimenting with their looks. Sure,they’ve found themselves in trouble time and again and even fallen prey to gay rumors for the manner in which they dress but that hasn’t ever seemed to deter them. They’re actually the most Celebrity-looking pop group across Africa. Their hairstyles are something else. Their clothes are always a subject of discussion,their sense of fashion is unmatched and their stage persona is reminiscent of Queen legend Freddie Mercury. As a band,they conduct themselves with the full armor of a Celebrity ; wild,sexy,outrageous,experimental,kinky,edgy,innovative,stylish,attention-grabbing,unapologetic. Like a superstar should.

4. Nameless 
He’s been in the game for over a decade now. And all this time,he’s never looked more like a star. This is a man who started out with durags and kept them for the longest time. He’s also the pioneer of branded t-shirts and vests (those vests emblazoned with the huge Ogopa Deejays logo). Slowly,he decided to lose to durag and sport a dreadlocked head-and it worked. Nameless’ locks are fresh and long,beautifully styled with a bare-shaved head on the sides. He also never leaves his cap at home. Or his sunglasses which he will wear even in a studio interview at night. His height also accentuates his sense of fashion and he is never shy of trying out groovy attires and some of the wildest looks on stage. On and off stage,Nameless lives like a star. And,after so many years down the line,he has refused to be typical,to be average,to be regular. He continues to push boundaries – not just with his music,but also look. And he keeps winning. Like Donald J. Trump.

5. Muthoni Drummer Queen 
Everything about this beautiful rapper-cum-drummer screams ‘Artist’. She’s our version of Erykah Badu. Or Janelle Monae. Muthoni,ever since she started out,has consistently maintained a very artistic and eye-catching look. She has the wildest hairstyle in town. Wears the craziest outfits and has not been afraid to look extremely different – even shocking. Her outrageous outfits makes her stand out like a Black man in a Republican rally. To some extent, she’s androgynous and quickly reminds you of Grace Kelly or a wild Rihanna. Muthoni’s music is not conventional either. Nothing she does is. Muthoni is a pure spectacle. And a case study on how to look like a star.

6. Kristoff 
He looks like the guy who will take your girl and your next girl within a minute. And sure,he can. With a body that well chiseled,a head of hair that stylish,dreadlocks that funky and attractive,Kristoff is definitely NOT losing. He’s applied a little dye on his locks to grab that extra attention. He’s known to go really wild with his fashion and is not afraid to push boundaries – even wear vests to the club. He’s all blinged out and seems to invest alot in expensive jewelry. He’s a walking spectacle. And seems to have no trouble pulling girls over to his side. He may not be the best rapper in town. But sure, he does look like the best rapper in town. Girls have gone to war over him. Famous girls actually. Kristoff – the look of a superstar.

7. Prezzo 
I know. I know. Of course,Prezzo should have been at the top of this list. I just placed him at Number 7 for no reason at all. But Mr. Jackson Ngechu,aka,CMB Prezzo is the King and has always been the King Of Looking Like a Superstar. Yes,even a mega superstar. From the days of ‘Naleta Action’,CMB Prezzo has shaken the Kenyan entertainment arena like no other person has ever done. Or will ever do. He’s the classiest cat in the game. Wears the most attractive and expensive jewelry. Knows how to go for the hottest and blithest girls in town. Doesn’t leave nothing to chance when it comes to being a star. Takes himself very seriously and spends a fortune on his attire and jewelry. He revolutionized Celebrity fashion a decade ago. And still looks fresh, funky, stylish and super attractive to date. Girls have not stopped swooning over him. And I can tell you why. It’s not because of his music. Or rap skill. It’s definitely because this man has been looking like a superstar for decades now. He’s the King. And always will be. Bow down bitches.

 

8. Victoria Kimani 
You have to have something very special about you to get your ass signed up to a major record label in Nigeria,the capital of vanity. Having lived in Los Angeles for most of her teenage life, Miss V does know a thing or two about how to look like a star. And she’s not afraid to try it out. She’s the most fashionable girl in the game. Probably across Africa. You will know she’s in the room when she walks in the room. She’s daunting,bold,flashy,ostentatious, wild, crazy,chic and very expensive looking. She’s our own Tiwa Savage.

9. Vera Sidika 
Queen of all socialites that ever lived and that will ever live in Kenya. None of all of these girls will ever beat Vera in the looks department. No one of them. All of this skinny tramps on Nairobi Diaries would never match Vera’s class and style. Not even if they were all combined and boiled in a pot. Vera won the fight years ago. And she’s unlikely to be be dethroned. She’s the most urbane, attractive,sensual,chic,gritty, girl in town. A woman who knows that her body is her business will be the first ever in Kenya to have a breast augmentation job. And to flawlessly lighten her skin. And end up looking like a million dollars. This girl is the mistress of the game. Nothing about her is cheap. Nothing. Don’t ever forget that. Ever. And please,don’t even get me started on her hair. That hair.

10. Daddy Owen 
But of course. He wouldn’t miss in the list. Not with that hair. That full head of white hair. Those stylish scarfs he loves to wrap around himself,that sense of style,those trademark sunglasses and that jewelry. He may be serving a living God, but Daddy Owen also likes to remind the world that he’s a superstar. And sure,he is. Every inch of him. One of Gospel’s most outstanding faces.

But for people like Juacali, Nonini, Amani,Kenzo, Avril,Kenrazzy, DNA,Jaguar,Jay A,Wyre,Rabbit,Wangechi,Mejja,Bigpin,Maddtraxx and many others,you guys have got a long way to go. Before you started looking like the stars you are.

And that’s just the small list I could manage. Wish I had time. Cause I definitely have more of you.
