In the local context, it’s quite excruciating how so many people get endorsed for effortless content creation while others struggle for years without success.
It’s a colloquy that has roped in several netizens’ sentiments; considering a couple of celebrities in mind. The most recent one being Azziad Nasenya.
At 22-year-old, Azziad rose from a little-known dancer to an actress, content creator and media host with over 4.5 million followers on social media platforms. The exquisite content creator is popularly referred to as Kenya’s TikTok queen after her ‘Utawezana’ dance challenge went viral in 2020.
Azziad has been able to bag a couple of endorsements after becoming popular; including a brand endorsement deal with French manufacturing corporation, Société Bic. The TikTok star was Tuesday unveiled as Kenya’s brand ambassador for Bic’s Miss Soleil women’s razor.
She’s also radio presenter at Sound City. She also received an appointment as a member of the government’s Talenta Hela Creatives Technical Committee.
The role has made so many people question whether she indeed deserves it; considering she got famous ‘just by dancing’. The same question has been posed after Tik-Toker Priscilla WaImani bagged an endorsement deal just by whistling loudly. Unlike ‘Nduru man’ who has waited an eternity to get a deal. Below is a screenshot of Azziad going head to head with a fan;
Azziad Nasenya Criticized For Not Being Good Enough To Fit The Creatives Job
Popular TikToker Azziad Nasenya has found herself under heavy criticism after landing lavish Government job. The lass was among the content creators who were appointed by Ababu Namwamba to take up various roles in the creative Industry.
Other members of the committee include; Akinyi Odongo, Jimmi Gathu, Esther ‘Akothee’ Akoth, Kizito Makhande, Rosemary Wahu Kagwi, Awadhi Salim Awadhi, Douglas Kipkirui, and Langat Susan Ekasiba.
In her defence, she took to her Instagram to express her gratitude at landing the plush job alongside other more established entertainers. In a long post, she promised to take the role seriously for the benefit of the whole creative economy and those like herself working within it:
I sincerely thank honourable Ababu Namwamba and the entire Ministry of Youth Affairs, Sports and the Arts team for nominating me to be part of the Creatives Technical Committee,” Azziad said.
“I am a firm believer in the potential of the creative economy as a fulfilling career and source of income, and beneficiary of the same.”
The content creator has however been criticized by a couple of Kenyans for bot being good enough for the role, including celebrities who believe she isn’t fit enough for the job.
TikTok sensation and Content creator Azziad Nasenya is over the moon after being feted as a nominee for the 2021 America’s E! People’s Choice Awards in the African Social Star Category.
Azziad couldn’t keep calm as she took to her social media to share the exciting news;
“Guys I am the only Kenyan and the only East African nominated. Thank you for your support, Please Vote for Me. Voting is on for the next 3 weeks. Make sure you put your email address after sliding the voting button to make sure your vote has been counted. Thank you,”.

The People’s Choice Awards is an American awards show, recognizing people in entertainment, voted online by the public and fans. The awards has been held annually since 1975.
Apart from her prestigious nomination, Azziad Nasenya was appointed the global ambassador for Save Our Future, an organisation which focuses on rebuilding education across the world owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.
ave Our Future also partners with the United Nations Children’s Fund and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in education matters.
Azziad has explained how anyone can vote for her on her Insta stories. Let’s support our own!
TikTok queen and actress Azziad Nasenya is an epitome of self made greatness. At only 20 years old, Azziad has not only made a name for herself in the entertainment industry; but has also achieved more than her peers in the shortest period.
Her breakthrough came during the COVID-19 pandemic when she danced to Mejja’s song featuring Femi One dubbed ‘Utawezana’. She later became an internet sensation to many; who admired her impeccable dancing skills.
Few months later, Azziad started receiving roles on the screens; both as an actor and TV host. Fame has not been an easy fete for her. At one time, she disclosed that she received 13,000 texts on her WhatsApp after her number got leaked. Some trolled her, while others said hilarious things to her.
Anyway, Azziad is still winning big. The TikTok queen had been lowkey for a period of 2 months. Turns out, she was working on her radio project on Sound City; where she underwent training for that period. She has been hailed by Kenyans for her tremendous consistent achievements.
Questions have been asked about her journey to greatness, But Azziad thinks she has not yet made it.
”I’m so grateful to God because without him I would not be where I am today. He has blessed me… People are asking me how did you make it from Utawezana… First of all, I have not yet made it. I’m trying. We’re working on this still…”
Azziad continued to say that she might do a video on her epic journey. Can’t wait to listen to her story.
Tik Tok sensation Azziad Nasenya on Saturday, 27 December decided to have an IG live session that left most of her fans confused.
Not in a bad way, but in the comment section most seemed to question whether the Azziad we are used to and the one on the live session were one and the same person.
Azziad Nasenya graciously flaunts her enviable bikini body
Don’t get me wrong, this article is in no way aimed at attacking Azziad; but appreciating how real she has been with her online fans.
Azziad without filters and makeup
Well, turns out that Azziad is actually not light skinned but was blessed with a cool warm chocolate undertone; that most women on social media want to distance themselves with through bleaching.
However Azziad went on a 100% all natural live video session; and the result was an eye opening experience to say the least.
Calling her “unrecognizable” without makeup might be a stretch; because we had already seen one of her makeup free photos shared by an alleged bitter Ex boyfriend; but seeing her on a live session actually hit different.
Anyway although she may need to tone down on the filters – in order to bring out her natural beauty; I can assure you that Azziad is not the only woman battling with the ‘filter Syndrome’ (which most ladies are addicted to) but truth is, she is a natural beauty!
Age is but a number is a saying majority of ladies have embraced, whether in their 40s, 50s or older.
Many have been introduced to the faces of celebrities but very few have met the earlier generation. Mothers who bore children who got to grace the limelight but very little said about where they came from.
Women who however maintained their looks, youthfulness, sense of style, their vibrancy and beauty.
Vera Sidika got to celebrate her mother on her special day – her birthday – sharing beautiful photos of the woman she always called ‘mum’ and cherishes to date. A woman who has maintained her class and vibrancy.
We get to finish off with a bonus of the multi-talented singer and actress who recently marked her mom’s birthday in a heartwarming tweet before sharing a photo of her young, adorable mom who is sure aging backwards. “My mum turned a year older today. Cheki dem.”
For the few that can still enjoy the hot Kenyan weather while it still lasts, then they haven’t thought twice about it.
Following the entry of COVID-19 in the Kenyan borders, social activities were deemed a no-go zone. With extroverts forced to adapt to the new way of life – simply all indoors unless you must really go out.
Something that has not been easy on many and soon as the strict social measures were let loose a bit, then celebrities have flocked social places without giving it a second thought.
TikTok Queen, Azziad Nasenya
Well, because you never know how long the freedom might last.
It has now been a trend in the Kenyan celebrity industry to proudly show off that bikini body, your way and by your own rules as majority learn to appreciate themselves as they are.
Azziad’s thirst trap
Most recently is a dear petite Azziad Nasenya who has gone all in, to parade her sexy bikini chocolate body in a series of thirst trap photos, leaving little to imagination.
Ms Azziad Nasenya’s chic look
The Internet sensation decided to let fans in on what a good weekend vibe feels like if the sun agrees to cooperate.
She started off with a 3-piece casual wear that left some good layer of her skin out, in a fancy, exciting weekend affair.
Azziad Nasenya sassy weekend vibes
Then came the booty short edition.
Before dropping the bomb with a series of thirst trap photos, locked in suggestive 2-piece bikini collections that have only sparked crazy ideas among fans.
Azziad Nasenya graciously flaunts her enviable bikini body
Be it the Team Mafisi or female fans who cannot help but envy the coveted female bikini body that the Western world has set as a standard.
Nyce quickly pleaded with the 20-year old’s boyfriend, that this was but a question and not reality, just in case it caused chaos between them.
Azziad kept fumbling, before going quiet, admitting that Pascal and Nick Mutuma were like brothers to her and it would not feel nice, thinking about them beyond that.
Internet sensations Azziad Nasenya and Pascal Tokodi
So she refreshed her list, with comedian YY, Dr King’ori and Savara. On her feet, Azziad confidently responded:
“I’d smash and pass YY, marry Dr King’ ori and show off with Savara.”
TikTok Queen, Azziad Nasenya
Azziad additionally talked of getting cyberbullied after fame, shed light on her rate card and talked of her aspirations to start an own fashion line and be an International actress in the near future.
Hard times will always reveal true friends, is a saying that added up for Azziad Nasenya just before she hit fame and right after her star shone.
During her afternoon Live with comedian Jalang’o, the barely 20-year old talked of how she would literally beg her friends to show up for her plays in the theater but only a countable few turned up for her.
Some she would remind everyday to buy tickets and even volunteer to pay for half their tickets, just so that they can support her talent but individuals who showed zero efforts or concern.
Azziad Nasenya
Azziad kept her cool and forewarned those on her contact list, that someday will come when she will hit fame and they will all come looking for her, but nowhere to find her.
Well, her prophecy came to pass, much sooner than expected. Soon as she went viral through her fine Utawezana challenge, her WhatsApp, DMs, call list, Twitter were full.
Azziad Nasenya
Friends she had begged to show up for her, were now pleading for forgiveness but having foretold it all, she trashed those who had given her a cold shoulder and walked the new journey with those who had always been there for her.
Jalang’o clashes with Azziad
Let me take you back to a time when the TikTok sensation allegedly turned down an offer to work with Wasafi TV after going viral.
Internet sensation Azziad
Well, Jalang’o was not left behind, coming out to blast the young campus babe for turning down such a lucrative offer at such a young age, all in the name of ‘values’.
Eventually, they met and had a Live sit-down, where a totally embarrassed Jalas had to apologize for his negative remarks towards the Internet sensation.
“I want to take this opportunity to tell you am very very sorry. I wanted to meet you and apologize personally for my actions,” Jalas told Azziad.
Jalas finally apologizes to Azziad
A smitten and chilled out Azziad was like “Aww…! It’s okay”. Clarifying that he later deleted the post and feels so sorry that he never clarified the rumors first.
Have a listen to the engaging and lively chit-chat between the two:
Short hair has been largely embraced in the local market especially by female celebrities who have opted for a bold, more polished and different look that has only left them looking younger and hotter.
Be it young or older, married or single, in their different professions and daily hustles, several female celebrities have come out to prove short hair can still look sexxy. Let’s dive right in;
The Utawezana rapper and hitmaker is one personality whose stylish, colorful hair dyes ranging from yellow, to pink, to red and even green has only made her stand out in the industry. No lie, this fine babe goes extra when she decides to!

3. Wahu Kagwi
The mother of two who doubles up as a gospel artist has since time immemorial opted for a mohawk-look, maintaining it trimmed and at a certain length, that allows her to meddle with it, depending on the occasion.

4. Corazon Kwamboka
The first time mom, took the internet by storm after chopping off her beautiful, long, dark African hair soon as she welcomed her son Taiyari with Frankie Just Gym It. Matter of fact, Frankie was the one who brought in the idea and a dear Corazon did not even think twice about it.

The celebrated TV show host and actress keeps her natural hair short, away from the screens, more often spotted with a blonde look, pimping it with braids and wigs once in a while.

6. Lilian Muli
The TV girl always seen in wigs, once ditched them for a hot look in short plumed hair. This was after getting rid of the short locs she had hidden beneath her wigs for a long time. And honestly, her age betrays the look.

7. Huddah Monroe
Huddah loves her hair short and trimmed, recently letting off the wigs and signature bandanas,to step out looking like a 16-year old, after trimming it a bit more and she sure looks stunning.
Azziad Nasenya was discussed in the Kenyan senate proceedings yesterday for a fascinating reason.
The discussion was regards the use of the now viral social media platform, TikTok that apparently entertained all Toms, Dicks and Harrys to create content.
TikTok Queen, Azziad Nasenya
The Senators were debating about putting efficient laws in place to guard the moral standards of the Kenyan people especially the youth, who are the greatest percentage of users.
Nominated senator from Garissa, Hon Iman Falhad Dikow asked the Senate to investigate the use of the digital platform and whether it was a safe space for the Kenyan community using it, after the application recently faced allegations regards personal data privacy.
Before Nandi County Senator Cherargei referred to the fact that TikTok boomed especially in the country after the COVID-19 pandemic hit, discovering sensational dancers like Azziad Nasenya whose magical moves brought the internet to a standstill following her Utawezana debut.
The politician further urged fellow members that it was important to guard Internet usage locally and especially among the younger generation who fall prey to all sorts of immoral content.
According to him, Kenya was yet to certain standards to protect the dignity of the people and to preserve the African morals. Have a listen:
Senators say Tik Tok, other social media sites should be regulated in Kenya.
The mention saw the internet erupt as tweeps persistently tagged the 20-year old celebrity until she got wind of what was going on. Check out netizens’ reactions:
King Kalala aka female Andrew Kibe is at it again, this time telling the dirt as it is.
During her recent interview on Shoe Game with Azziad, the bubbly lass admitted she was finding it hard to date because it was an almost guarantee she would cheat on her lover.
King Kalala
Kalala confessed she had a weakness of going after what was not hers and she cannot assure anyone she dates, that she’ll be faithful.
Lemme not do that thing where I am coming into a relationship, I’m like “I love you” when in real sense I’ve just come from cheating. I know everyone has their weaknesses and mine is cheating.
Therefore her plans were not anything around dating rather learning how to be in good relationships with people before she can commit to one specific person.
I love flings badly!
Prudence Chepkirui Tonui aka King Kalala
The babe has been in several relationships, the most recent with a guy who hurt her so bad and you could tell she was still hurting about it, during the interview.
Surprisingly enough, Kalala said maybe her next relationship would be with a guy or a same sex, a girl – she can’t promise either but she looks forward to a good one.
I want to slowly learn the art of faithfulness. Because when I want it, I really want it!
NRG presenter, King Kalala
Kalala’s body count
Sadly, the NRG radio presenter born Prudence Chepkirui Tonui, had lost track of the number of men she had gotten involved with, revealing;
The undated video, which was posted by a Twitter user, shows Azziad dancing with the man who is donning a t-shirt which has her name. Moments later, she plants a kiss on his lips.
Azziad Nasenya
The video elicited mixed reactions on social media with many wondering who the man is and if he is the one who has stolen Azziad’s heart.
Others showered the dancing queen with praise saying she is very humble because the video that is doing rounds on social media was taken in a bedsitter.
Azziad rose to fame after she posted a video that showed her dancing to Femi One and Mejja’s Utawezana in April this year.
Azziad Nasenya
The 20-year old lass, who studies broadcast journalism at the Kenya Institute of Mass Communication (KIMC), has, however, kept her love life away from the public and many didn’t have a clue about who she might be involved with until now.
But then again, Azziad and the unidentified man could just be friends who were had had one too many and were just having a good time.
There is always a first that probably gets sacrificed with a couple of misses from what was expected but it happens and gladly leaves lessons to be learnt.
Netizens could not wait for TikTok sensation, Azziad Nasenya’s new show Shoe Game with Azziad that premiered barely 2 hours ago on YouTube. The basic assumption was that the show would be all about celebrities’ shoe games, inspirations around their looks and especially what they color their feet with.
Girl of many hats, Azziad Nasenya
It would be one of a kind definitely, runned by a dancer turned TV host in a matter of weeks. Plus, being in her early 20s meant audiences would get a different kind of vibe and fans couldn’t wait for it to drop. The show is finally here with us and despite her natural vibe and color, Azziad conspicuously seemed not so prepared for the occasion.
Get me right, she was adorably dressed but the flow of the interview left fans a bit jittery.
The misses
So the show kicked off well, with a good intro of graphics and a brief welcome, until her guest showed up.
Bray Okut aka Tailor 001 was our guest for the day, well established in the fashion industry, but soon as the interview started, fans could notice Azziad was a bit nervous and inaudible in her speech. She was not quite in control of the interview, leaving the guest to jump in or even interview her in her own show.
Azziad Nasenya new show finally premieres
She would at other times ask a question that wouldn’t add up, forcing her guest to rephrase it then answer in his own terms. There was also a consistent switch between English and Kiswahili during the interview.
Her lack of script or short handwritten piece of paper just to guide her through the interview might have been the cause of it all but well, she did it and apart from the few hiccups, there were couple of pluses.
The pluses
During their intro, a dear Bray flattered Azziad about how beautiful she looks, leaving her smitten but she was quickly able to get herself back together and thereafter thank her guest without seeming flirtatious.
Actress, dancer and TV host, Azziad Nasenya
The actress’ natural vibe and personality saw her go with flow and with whatever struck her mind first and decided that was going to be her 24-minute interview.
Azziad’s consistent smile and unrestrained laugh for a better part of the interview lit up the mood, with a make up well put together and we must admit, being her first and own show, that was a good one! Be the judge;
Dancing first means you need to be flexible enough otherwise you get worn-out pretty fast and going by her TikTok videos, Azziad whines her waist so effortlessly I tend to think she forgets that she is actually dancing because it robs her close to zero energy.
The assumption being; her body has already been accustomed to her lifestyle. Well, to confirm this, the petite campus babe decided to parade her edges and tiny waist in a thirst trap swimsuit that left a good layer of her skin exposed.
A photo she captured during her vacation down at Kenya’s coast but which she decided to caption;
Pirates of the caribean????????
Azziad Nasenya enjoying some Coastal breeze
Forget whether this photo was taken way before her fame but one thing is for sure, she served her fans some hot sauce that proved hard to let one’s eyes off. Here are some of her fans’ untamed reactions;
Azziad Nasenya has become everybody’s favorite Tiktok dancer and judging from her petite waist; we can understand why most of her fans enjoy watching her whine her waist!
Well apart from dancing, this young lady also turns out to be a good actress giving many a run for their! So far most of her ‘haters’ have called her out after unveiling the huge numbers she will be charging clients looking for exposure through her page.
At 541k followers on Instagram and 1 million followers on TikTok, we cannot blame this young lady for using this business opportunity wisely; especially since it comes once in a lifetime! However, some now view her as delusional for having an expensive rate card.
Away from that we cannot ignore the fact that Azziad also seems to have good taste when it comes to fashion and the few photos shared below will prove this!
I am sure many have noticed that she prefers exposing some skin on her stomach area and since her hips also ‘don’t lie’; you can imagine the number of male species having sleepless nights thanks to the petite lass.
She might also be another Huddah in the making but this time around; at least we know where her money will be coming from.

Azziad Nasenya is one individual we never saw coming, at least not as fast, and now that she’s here, the world is trying to figure a way out.
Yesterday, the dancer-cum-TV show host brought the Internet to a screeching halt after her ´exaggerated´ rate card charges went viral.
Exhibiting figures like 50k-100k for each of her posts on social media, that has left masses with mouths ajar, some questioning her quality, others thinking she is trying too hard but others, could only cheer her on!
Acclaimed dancer, Azziad Nasenya
Azziad has fortunately learnt to grow the thick skin over time and things like this do not bother her as much like when she was just starting.
Personally, when I heard that I could only burst out in laughter. So brutal, yet so honest and unwelcoming of people’s opinions who think she gets sleepless night because of their trolls.
Azziad Nasenya has broken the glass ceiling to prove she can rise on her own, build her own brand and fix her crown like a Queen.
The barely 20-year old Multimedia University student has taken up multiple TV roles, landed brand endorsement deals, entertainment gigs…you name it! since her star shone in April this year.
Her fame did come with its own fair share of downfalls but that only made her stronger, bouncing back bigger, better and brighter.
Tik Tok sensation, Azziad Nasenya
So now, the lass is apparently an A-list celebrity or at least on her way there, if her 2020 rate card is anything to go by.
Ever since her debut in the music scene, Azziad Nasenya has rattled the Kenyan entertainment space with her unmatched skills and talent.
Soon after, she became part of the Selina family, no lie, this 20-year old lass is not looking back. This time, bouncing back with her own TV show exclusively for entertainment and set to air across 7 TV stations in Kenya.
Tik Tok sensation, Azziad Nasenya
New TV show
Dubbed Concert Nyumbani, Azziad will be its host alongside celebrated TV personality Mwaniki Mageria.
“Concert Nyumbani” is produced by Documentary & Reality Television Limited and will be hosted by internet sensation @azz_iad & seasoned television personality @nikimags.
Divulging further details on the same, the show directors Eugene Mbugua and Enos Olik revealed the show is meant to celebrate heroes born out of the Covid-19 pandemic.
With the help of the @kenyafilmcommission, I called together a team of some of the most talented people in Kenya to work on a documentary and musical show celebrating heroes who’ve emerged from the corona pandemic.
Actress, Azziad Nasenya
Adding:
“Concert Nyumbani”, the biggest entertainment television event ever on Kenyan TV will air this Sunday 19/7/2020at 2 p, simultaneously on KTN, NTV, K24, KBC, Switch TV, Metropol TV, Y24, TV47 and PPP TV.
Cook show
Azziad’s star continues shining as she looks forward to host a cooking TV show featuring comedian Mulamwa.
These two recently stirred controversy after stepping out in matching outfits, hardly did we know something had been cooking.
I am sure you know who Azziad Nasenya is. For those who don’t, she is the gorgeous lady who became an overnight sensation after a clip of her dancing and lip syncing to Femi One and Mejja’s jam titled Utawezana went viral.
She was all that Kenyans were talking about for the better part of April. Actually, some people even claim that she is the reason the song became big because she inspired people to participate in the Utawezana challenge.
Azziad Nasenya
Most people had assumed that she was just a passing cloud and that Kenyans would forget about her in a matter of days or maybe weeks but she has proven them wrong and continues to do so, day in day out.
Apart from bagging brand endorsement deals left, right and centre, Azziad, who turned 20 a fortnight ago, has also appeared in Rigtone’s jam titled Zoea Mawe which is; currently at 1.1 million views.
But that’s not all. She also landed a role in the Maisha Magic drama Selina and if you thought her dancing skills are dope, then you should see her acting because you will be impressed.
19-year old, Azziad Nasenya
Interestingly, her critics have refused to leave her alone. They just see her as a girl who became famous because she knows how to gyrate her waist not knowing that she was big on Tik Tok long before Utawezana.
What I love most about Azziad is her spirit. If she had listened to naysayers I don’t think she would be where she is today, she would have thrown in the towel a long time ago.
I believe it’s only a matter of time before one of the local TV stations bring her on board and give her a show to host and I can’t wait to hear what her critics will say then.
Azziad Nasenya was introduced to the world, barely aged 19, a young campus girl who broke the glass ceiling to become one of Kenya´s most admired and sought-after dancer.
Well, she just turned 20 years of age but her 19th year was nothing close to what she expected. One that opened the world to her but one that equally saw her get trampled upon by the same world which did not believe in her dream.
A dream she always had since she was a kid – a dream to appear before the TV screens. A dream she might have just achieved through her acting TV role on ´Selina´ but a dream that she feels needs to be pursued more.
Selina actress, Azziad Nasenya
Inborn talent
Through her Instagram pages, the 20-year old dashing beauty recalled how back in the days, her primary school teachers had taken note of her inborn talent in the acting industry.
A time she was still young to understand why she had to pursue that path and not something different. But the flame and the dream in her kept burning to date.
Since I was a kid, I have always wanted to be on the screen. This is still the dream that I am working to pursue.
All the way from Primary my teachers were able to spot my talents even before I did and I guess that gave me a lot of psyche and determination to keep on keeping on.
Actress, Azziad Nasenya
She worked through what others had seen in her that she hadn´t yet. The psych and determination kept her going, never quitting but never admitting that she was any better than everyone else.
The hate
Through her journey, she has encountered a fair share of setbacks. She has been called ´overrated´, ´lacking talent´, ´not up to the fight´ as critics tried every means possible to see her give up on her dream, crumble and disappear in thin air.
I have never been a quitter..not that Iam perfect, no. I am still struggling to find my right path..but one thing I was taught is to always be a fighter…and I believe that has helped me achieve the little success that is coming my way.. ‘She is overrated’, they say, ‘She ain’t talented’, they add. ‘She will wear off’, some pray, and many more that I may not be able to quote…
TikTok queen, Azziad Nasenya
All this saw her ¨cry herself to sleep…tossing and turning each night asking the Almighty what she had done to deserve all this¨ she said.
¨At only 19 seeking and asking how cruel the world could be against an innocent soul…¨ she continued.
But after several dark days of blaming herself and doubting that she was set for this path, the Queen rose up, wiped off her tears and decided that it was time to work.
…but after several days of darkness and blaming myself and doubt..I wiped the tears and decided that it’s time to work.
Internet sensation, Azziad Nasenya
Unapologetic comeback
They say it is in failure that we achieve success. So is it in picking up the stones that have been thrown at you and using them to build your Queendom – in this case. That is exactly what happened to Azziad.
Those same words that were thrown my way gave me motivation to work Harder and God Gave me the strength to push even further.
Well, here I am, turning 20 this Tuesday 16th and still living that old dream I had since I was a kid.
As she turns 20 years of age today, Tuesday, June 16, Azziad articulated:
I have not gotten there but my journey just started???????????? Your dreams are valid don’t you ever give up.
Budding content creator, Azziad Nasenya
Powerful words that I believe don´t need explaining. Words that speak of a lioness who was once bitten but arose amidst pitch darkness, with a light from within, determined to light up the world around her and for those that can´t take it, they can only pack up and leave. Because well, her territory has now been marked.
Azziad Nasenya has become one of Kenya´s most sought-after personalities, barely aged 19 years. Well, it is time to meet the Queen behind Azziad´s existence.
The young actress and content creator hit fame with her dance rendition on Femi One´s Utawezana anthem and life has never been the same again.
Friday, May 29, the dancer took to her social media to appreciate her loving mom as she turned an year older, in a series of photos.
However, it is not even the birthday wishes that bewitched her fans, it is just how unbelievably young Azziad´s mother is. I mean YOUNG!
Let me ask: have you ever randomly met a young girl with her mother – who you mistook for a twin sister or just a sister – and the minute you´re told that´s the mother you´re like, ¨No way. C´mon!¨
That is exactly the position I was in after spotting the singer´s strikingly beautiful young mother. Actually, you´d mistake her for a late 20-year old girl living her life to the fullest.
Singer and dancer, Azziad Nasenya
Plus, I think now I understand when someone says that the body doesn´t age if you consistently engage in sports. I´ll tell you why, Azziad previously revealed her mom was a dancer and therefore molded and supported her daughter in the art as well.
Probably that there explains why Azziad´s mom is aging backwards!
Azziad proudly paraded her mom and captioned:
It’s my mother’s birthday! ????????????
Happy birthday mum. ???????????? Thank you for being my number 1 support. Wish I could celebrate with you today, but this long distance… I love you. ❤❤❤
Let me spare you the lecture.
If ¨aging like fine wine¨ was a person:

Reactions
On the comment section, it was a mixture of shock, laughter and confusion as fans wondered just how long it had taken the Internet sensation to show off her breath-taking young mom.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure you’ve heard of the name Azziad Nasenya, such a lovely name right? Anyway, sorry for digressing.
Azziad Nasenya alias Kenyan Tik Tok Queen
She’s the gorgeous lass who literally broke the internet after recording a video of herself dancing and singing along to Femi One and Mejja’s latest jam dubbed Utaniweza – which is literally fire by the way.
The video has garnered more than 243,000 views on Instagram and about 734,000 on Tik Tok by the time this piece went up. I don’t know what you make of that but it’s a big deal.
Azziad is also the reason why the real version of the track has been trending at number one on YouTube and hit more than 1.4 million views since she inspired people to start the #UtaniwezaChallenge.

The 19-year old – who studies broadcast journalism at the Kenya Institute of Mass Communication (KIMC) – trended top on Twitter for about two days, others have even christened her the Tik Tok Queen and we stan.
Sadly, a few days later things took a bad turn and people started bullying her. Some accused her of bleaching her skin while others had an issue with her physique. Someone also leaked her number online and she started getting strange calls and Whats App messages.
I reached out to her and we had a lengthy conversation about anything and everything, from her new-found fame to her dating life, making money from content creation, being cyber bullied, aspirations and whatnot.
