Social media influencer Shes Kemunto, girlfriend to Kenyan artist Iyanii, has stirred online debate after questioning how some men manage to maintain extravagant lifestyles without visible sources of income.
In an Instagram post shared on Monday, October 13, 2025, Kemunto challenged the narrative that often targets women for being “kept,” arguing that similar scrutiny should apply to men who live luxuriously despite lacking formal jobs or known businesses.
“Let’s talk about men who don’t work, have nothing going on but live in luxurious apartments, drive posh cars, drink expensive liquor, and party — because it’s always about women this, women that,” she wrote.
She went on to ask whether such men are financially supported by women, hinting at a growing trend where some men might also be “kept.”
“Are these men hustlers, or in short, wameekwa?” Kemunto posed.
Her remarks have sparked a broader conversation about gender roles, money, and social perception in modern relationships. Many online users noted that her post exposes a double standard — where women are often criticized for financial dependence while men in similar situations face little judgment.
Kemunto, known for her bold opinions and lifestyle content, has built a strong following as an influencer and public figure. Her relationship with Iyanii has kept her in the public eye, often drawing mixed reactions from fans.
Through her latest post, Kemunto appeared to question the blurred lines between ambition, image, and financial support in today’s social scene. She urged honesty about how people sustain their lifestyles and whether appearances have become more valued than genuine effort.
Her comments continue to fuel online discussions about the changing dynamics of relationships, economic realities, and the evolving meaning of “hustling” in Kenya’s modern culture.
