Lupita's Recognition of Comedian Elsa Majimbo Draws Online Debate on Celebrating Our Own Acts
On Wednesday, Lupita Nyong'o expressed her love for upcoming comedian Elsa "Mpho" Majimbo. The "Us" movie actress revealed her latest guilty pleasure on Twitter quoting Majimbo's post, "@ElsaAngel19 has been making me LAUGH recently. If you haven't seen her comedy videos yet, go follow her right now! #WomanCrushWednesday"."Guys when I tell you I'm falling gasping for air and trying to make sense of what is occurring !!!! Khai !", the elated Elsa replied. As a faction of fans congratulated her, another stirred an online debate. Lupita's acknowledgement of Elsa led to criticism as to why Kenyans do not recognize and/or appreciate certain content creators, until "foreign" celebrities do. In fact, the 18-year-old's popularity has garnered much deserved attention in South Africa compared to her own country. Here are some of the reactions;Guys when I tell you I'm falling gasping for air and trying to make sense of what is occurring !!!! Khai ! https://t.co/CL17MrWAWc

Why do people assume that when someone doesn't agree with them on a particular issue...it's hating.

Hussein Mohammed is the best journalist we've had in our century. Wahiga Mwaura pushes me to remember and miss how Hussein used to interview and corner politicians. I equally request citizen tv to bring him back. We miss him on our screens. pic.twitter.com/FdCi0lsrvK
