Yvette Obura Suffers Backlash After Claiming Kenyans Feel Very Entitled To Celebrities

Yvette Obura, the baby mama of musician Bahati, has sparked backlash after claiming that she is a celebrity.

In a live video that was recorded by another TikTok user, Obura was seen complaining about how Kenyans harass celebrities whenever they meet them.

“Kenyans feel very entitled to celebrities,” Obura said. “They think that just because we are in the public eye, we owe them our time and attention.”

She also said that whenever she meets a fan who doesn’t respond to her greeting, they term the celebrity as rude.

“I don’t understand why people think that we are obligated to talk to them just because they know our names,” Obura said. “We are just like everyone else, and we deserve to be treated with respect.”

Obura’s comments have been met with mixed reactions. Some people have agreed with her, saying that celebrities are entitled to their privacy. Others have disagreed, saying that celebrities should be more accessible to their fans.

“If you don’t want to be bothered by fans, then don’t become a celebrity,” one commenter wrote. “It’s part of the job.”

“I agree with Yvette,” another commenter wrote. “Celebrities are people too, and they deserve to be treated with respect.”

The debate over whether or not celebrities should be accessible to their fans is likely to continue. However, one thing is for sure: Yvette Obura’s comments have sparked a conversation about the expectations that people have of celebrities.
