The One & Only Kelis Moved To Kenya & Chats How Life Is In East Africa.
She left the US to begin a new life with her fam bam on a different continent.
According to one of our sources over at Daily Mail…
“The singer, 46, who lost her husband to cancer in 2022, relocated to the East African country earlier this year to start farming and developing her own luxury resort.
She currently owns 150 acres near Nairobi and has plans to buy even more land as she expands her various projects.
But despite being thrilled with the move, the star has admitted that life in Kenya does have some eye-opening downsides.
In a viral video listing the top three cons of living in Kenya, Kelis criticized the country’s roads, drainage system, and waste management.
‘Some of the potholes, they will literally take your car apart,’ she said.
‘And they have these speed bumps and these speed bumps are in the dark, they’re not marked, and you will hit a bump and leave your soul behind you, so the roads definitely take a little getting used to.’
She then slammed the city’s drainage system and said that it doesn’t work, ‘so when it rains, it floods.’
Kelis also showed footage of garbage littering the streets, saying, ‘The waste management here is trash. It’s absolutely awful, it doesn’t exist.’
The Trick Me songstress then revealed that the price on shipping and importing is shockingly high.
‘If you want to live like an American here it’s definitely gonna cost you like triple the price,’ she said.
‘Anything imported. Not just American, but European, anything brought into the country, they’re gonna jack you.’
She also called buying a car in Kenya ‘an absolute nightmare’ and complained that it was almost impossible to get a brand new vehicle at a reasonable price.
‘I think if you think you’re gonna come here and live like an American, definitely triple the price,’ she warned.
However, she did say that some things in Kenya are still cheaper than in the US, most notably healthcare.
Despite the downsides, Kelis has insisted that she and her three sons are happier than ever since leaving America for life in East Africa.”
