In an interview with Dubai's Anash Bukhash on Tuesday, May 25, the teen internet sensation says she has faced a lot of hostility and a lot of bullying from Kenyans both on her craft and personally.
Majimbo went on to add that she has faced criticism since high school and would be considering living in South Africa rather than return to Kenya.
“I have faced a lot of bullying in Nairobi and when I say bullying people only think about the internet, but it has been my whole life. At the university, I chose my friends and the company I was in and it got easier. But when I got to the internet it became as worse as it was in high school. I would mind my own business and sit inside the house in Nairobi. When I left for South Africa in February, I left and never went back to Kenya.,” said Majimbo.
