Trisha Khalid, a well-known Kenyan digital creator, has addressed the backlash she received from some quarters regarding her appearance at the gender reveal party of Mary Linda and Rapho Clint. Critics labeled her ‘kienyeji,’ a derogatory Swahili term suggesting someone is unsophisticated or rural, in their comments on the baby shower video posted online.

Khalid took to her Instagram Stories to respond to the criticism, asserting her confidence and authenticity. She made it clear that she is unconcerned with others’ opinions and is committed to staying true to herself.

“I care less about what others think about me,” Khalid stated. “All I am doing is being real with myself.”

The baby shower video in question showed Khalid celebrating alongside Mary Linda and Rapho Clint, an event that some observers felt was beneath her status. Detractors argued that her presence at the party was inappropriate and suggested that she had lowered herself by attending.

Despite the negative comments, Khalid’s response underscores a powerful message about self-acceptance and the importance of staying true to oneself amidst public scrutiny. Her stance highlights the pressure public figures often face and the resilience required to maintain one’s integrity and authenticity in the face of criticism.

In an era where social media can amplify both praise and vitriol, Khalid’s reaction serves as a reminder of the value of self-confidence and the importance of not letting others’ opinions dictate one’s actions or sense of self-worth.
