Nana Owiti has sparked reactions on social media after sharing a video featuring a new nanny in her home shortly after the death of Christine, a longtime employee who had worked for her family for several years.
The video was shared on social media on Monday, August 17, and showed Nana’s son preparing for a football match. A new house help was also seen in the family setting.
The post came shortly after King Kaka announced the death of Christine, leaving some social media users talking about the timing of Nana’s video.
Christine was reportedly a longtime employee of the family and had become a familiar face to those who followed Nana and King Kaka online. Over the years, she was occasionally seen in content shared by the family.
King Kaka announced Christine’s death on Sunday, August 16, through an emotional social media post. The rapper paid tribute to her and appreciated the years she had spent serving his family.
His message painted a picture of someone who had become an important part of the household. He also sent his condolences to Christine’s family as he mourned her passing.
The announcement attracted emotional reactions from fans and followers, many of whom remembered Christine from her appearances in the family’s social media content.
Against that background, Nana’s latest video featuring another nanny caught the attention of some followers. While the video appeared to be part of a social media post involving her son and his football activities, some users could not ignore the fact that it came shortly after Christine’s death.
The reactions were mixed, with some people concentrating on the content of the video while others discussed the timing of the post.
The situation has once again highlighted how closely Kenyan social media users follow the personal lives of public figures. For celebrities who regularly share aspects of their family lives online, even ordinary posts can attract significant attention when they come at sensitive moments.
Nana and King Kaka have continued with their separate lives while remaining connected through their children.
Christine’s death has nevertheless remained a major talking point among their followers, with many people remembering her contribution to the family and sending messages of sympathy to those who knew her.
