The City Girl has trended herself into a viral sensation, thanks to her controversial pieces that tickle plus-sized single women and rile Roysambu and South B Subaru drivers in a single stride.

“Breaker of the Internet, wearer of fabulous clothes and owner of good looks”. Yup, sounds about right if This Is Ess comes to mind from such a description. The media personality and fashion blogger made headlines this year with a trending marriage proposal, globe trotting exploits and often winning endorsements that qualify her as Kenya’s certified fashion queen.
Zambia’s Roberto struck an ambient cord with Kenyan club-goers with his hit single Amarula that has dominated local airwaves all through the year. The artiste’s Kenyan visit was largely well received, consolidating his spot as the year’s regional break-out star.
In perhaps the most naked Vera Sidika-inspired display of ratchetness yet, ‘Sandra Bossett’ delivered a succulent feast for #TeamMafisi when she pulled an “Adults Only” rated timeline strip show a few months ago. Her displays, which left many a WhatsApp group wagging and dripping, should provide sufficient reference material for a blog post about body shapes and lingerie, or something of that sort. Also, is Bossett an official surname among those of the lavish socialite trade now, or what?
University student Emmanuel Otieno, aka Jadudi, cast a spotlight on the Africa Cancer Foundation’s efforts against the deadly disease when he consolidated national goodwill through one of the many successful initiatives.
Kenya hosted a historic beatification on Africa soil, as Sister Irene Stefani Nyaatha was elevated to sainthood this May. The once in a lifetime event placed the spotlight on Nyeri County, as thousands of people across the country and the world came to mark the occasion.
It was never immediately clear whether Jackson Irungu’s transition from an “entombed” Jaffar to a Caitlyn Jenner-esque Jay was purely cosmetic or biologically transformative.

Halima bent over backwards for her 15 minutes of fame and was rewarded with more Twitter followers than she could buy when she ‘Molissed’ a fast one out of DJ Crème earlier in the year. Fortunately for the reverend decksman, it won’t be so hard for us to forget and move on from his dreary indiscretion when the next unsolicited leak comes around. Hopefully for him, it won’t be too long.
It was not incidental that Google ranked betting as one of the most searched topics by Kenyans on the global information network. SportPesa’s growing popularity has elevated the platform to a domestic phenomenon as a growing number of savvy Kenyans chase the ever elusive jackpot in pursuit of their big break. Hopefully, this will translate to increased opportunities as the gambling entity seeks to strengthen its relationship with showbiz entertainers through concerts and endorsements.
He came, he saw and he bought a house on a hill. But he didn’t really pay for it. Just like he made the Forbes list but was never quite on it. Or how he acquired a litany of blue chip companies but none of the owners have a clue who he is. Maybe we should just linger on the fact that he sponsored that DJ Pierra video and he attended the “Grand Pricks” and rented a boat that was used by Trey Songz but he was never on any of their photos. LOL!
Pastor Kanyari’s incredulous spectacles formed one of the year’s foremost talking points as the controversial preacher stirred a wave of controversy that dominated national headlines for weeks on end.
