Instagram can be one of the most difficult platforms to grow your numbers but these celebrities have managed to become the cream of the crop in the Kenyan Instagram scene.
They have managed to build a following through showcasing their extravagant lifestyle, by creating a compelling feed with beautiful photos or funny videos, by stirring controversy and engaging their follower base.
If you look at the list below the celebrities have 3 things in common; they are either controversial (deliberately or inadvertently), they engage their followers or are funny.
