Kenyan content creator Flaqo has responded to Andrew Kibe’s criticism after splashing money to buy a car for his girlfriend, Keranta.
Kibe claimed that the surprise gift to Keranta was not a surprise to the lady in reality as it was choreographed and only netizens were surprised.
Flaqo clarified that while the video capturing the moment when he presented the gift to Keranta was planned, she was not aware of the whole plan to gift her a car as alleged by Kibe.
In an interactive Q&A session on Instagram, a fan sought Flaqo’s take on Kibe’s claims.
"Kife alisema mlipanga surprise ati sisi ndio mlitusurprise fact or no?" a fan asked.
"That was a very wrong analysis Omera buana… Its obvious we all planned a surprise for her YouTube content, she knew cameras are rolling too for a surprise video… that is why she had sound and makeup on for her content unless mlitaka ashout kama ule msee wa 'tunaanza usiku' , what she didn't know is what the video is about
“Hizi vitu ni obvious omera mmeanza kuniangusa bwana," Flaqo responded.
