Former nanny-turned-content creator Irene Nekesa is trending again—but this time, it’s not for her usual bubbly personality or heartwarming videos.
In a recent clip shared on her socials, Irene showed up in an entirely different look as she headed to Mulembe FM. Dressed in a bright, flowy dress, high heels, and rocking a black curly wig, she looked ready for the spotlight. But what really got people talking was her full-face makeup—a huge shift from her usual natural vibe.
Fans were quick to point out what they believed was an attempt to imitate her former boss, Diana Marua. From her dress style to the makeup and wig, the resemblance was hard to miss. Some felt she was trying too hard to look like Diana, but the execution just didn’t land.
Many couldn’t hide their disappointment, saying the heavy makeup didn’t suit her at all. Social media lit up with comments, and most weren’t exactly kind:
“Irene, makeup si yako. Just stay natural.”
“Outfit on point, but that makeup—hapana!”
“Why try to be Diana? Be you!”
“The makeup makes you look older, not better.”
Some even threw shade at the makeup artist, suggesting they missed the mark completely.
A few fans came to her defense, saying there’s nothing wrong with experimenting. After all, everyone deserves a chance to reinvent themselves and try something new.
Still, Irene has addressed these kinds of comparisons before. She once asked fans to stop pitting her against Diana and urged them to let her grow in peace.
