-Who are the most loved celebrities in Kenya?
-GOTTA.news has prepared a list of 38 celebrities who we think are most popular with Kenyans in general.

In Kenya, being a celebrity is no easy task. It’s understandable why rapper Khaligraph Jones wrote in his song Hao about how unpleasant Kenyan fans can be.

Khaligraph says in one of the lines, “Kuwa celebrity Kenya ni kujitolea/kuapologisia watu hujakosea.”

Mulamwa, a comedian, had just burned his comedy costume on claims of cyberbullying when Khaligraph released the song.

Generally speaking, Kenyans have some unspoken expectations about their celebrities.

One of these requirements is that the celebrity be of good cheer.

In the same spirit, if you are a superstar, your supporters anticipate that you will act honorably and refrain from constantly chasing clout.

In the same sense, you need to have humility and be approachable.

As a result, you must never treat nagging journalists and fans with snobbery.

The selection process was straightforward; we simply looked through these celebrities’ social media accounts and found they frequently got positive feedback from their followers.
