However, this seems to have annoyed a section of Kalenjin men, who took time to make fun of and mock the famous MC. While the ladies congratulated the two for showing the way, most of the Kalenjin men disowned him, claiming it is not part of their culture to kneel down before a lady.
Many maintained that they are fast losing their culture while predicting doom for the two.

This came amid many stereotypes portraying Kalenjin men as unromantic and always cultured and preservative.
“Huyu ni mkalee bandia otherwise wale wetu no kneeling down when proposing,,” stated Ken Korir
