Azziad Nasenya discusses how her boyfriend deals with rumours about her “wababaz”

Azziad Nasenya is addressing ongoing rumors that attribute her success to her connections rather than her hard work. She expressed frustration with the constant association of her achievements with “wababa,” despite her repeated clarifications.

Speaking to Mungai Eve, Nasenya emphasized that her success stems from dedication and effort, not external factors. She expressed disappointment at the accusations, stating that they hurt her close friends and family.

“All they can do is comfort me,” Nasenya said, referring to her support system’s reaction to the rumors.

She revealed that her supportive boyfriend and family provide her with strength amidst the criticism. Additionally, she finds solace in her faith, turning to prayer for guidance.

“In this life, there’s nothing as bad as accusing someone falsely,” Nasenya asserted. “A lot of people will make noise, and that’s okay. One thing I’ve been able to appreciate and be grateful for is working hard.”

She acknowledged the impact of negative comments, saying, “It feels bad… at the end of the day because you are human.” However, she emphasized that her true supporters, including friends, brands, and family, do not succumb to such rumors.

Nasenya attributed her opportunities to her dedication and self-investment. She shared examples of collaborations with brands like Visit Dubai, highlighting her ability to attract opportunities through her efforts.

“The moment you fear investing in yourself, hakuna kitu utapata,” Nasenya advised, emphasizing the importance of self-belief and investment in one’s craft.

She addressed the notion that her success is linked to men, calling it a “backward mentality.” She challenged the idea that women’s achievements are solely attributed to male support.

“I’ve never seen a ‘behind every successful woman there is a man,'” Nasenya stated. “I think that’s backward mentality. I don’t even know what to call it.”

She attributed the perpetuation of such rumors to projection, stating that those who underestimate women’s capabilities resort to associating their success with external factors.

Nasenya expressed hope for a change in mindset, emphasizing the importance of recognizing women’s hard work and contributions.
