Other Kenyan celebrities who quit Kenya for abroad
If Tanasha decides to relocate from Kenya, she will join a growing list of Kenyans who have moved to Europe or the USA for various reasons.
For example, Kenyan actor Eddie Gathegi moved to the US and has since starred in several movies, including The Blacklist, House, Dr Geoffrey, and Twilight.
Singer Stella Mwangi, also known as STL, relocated to Norway and has been doing well. This is evident from her success in winning awards after her music was used in some films.
Oscar-winning screen star Lupita Nyong'o lives abroad and only visits Kenya occasionally to see her family.
Another Kenyan celebrity who is enjoying life abroad is rapper Nonini, who moved to the US after dominating the Kenyan music industry for a while.
Recently, Nonini won a lawsuit against influencer Brian Mutinda for using one of his songs without his consent.
