Wednesday, January 28, 2026 - A Mzungu living in Kenya has gone viral after sharing a TikTok video listing the things he finds puzzling, and sometimes downright annoying, about life in the country.
In the clip, he boldly lays out the five things.
Rich Kenyans Don’t Dance
He wonders if sitting at clubs instead of dancing is a sign
of success - or just a way for clubs to push bottle service.
The “Send Money” Culture
From constant requests for 500 bob to “girlfriend allowance”
and the slay queen lifestyle, he calls the culture toxic.
With a cheeky twist, he adds: “I want to be a slay king
too - I need a sponsor!”
Kenyan Culture Debate
He says he’s been told Kenyan culture doesn’t exist, but
questions this claim since he enjoys gengeton.
Stoic Faces vs. Melodic Sounds
He admits misinterpreting interactions because of stoic or
shy expressions, but says he loves the unique high-pitched sounds Kenyans make
in conversation.
Lack of Vulnerability
According to him, Kenyans seem less open to sensitivity,
touch, or even massages - something he finds unusual.
His remarks have stirred mixed reactions online.
His criticism of the “begging culture” particularly stood
out, especially after a viral story of a woman claiming her boyfriend sent her
a cool $7,000 just because she complained that her account balance had run low.
