Kenyan social media influencer Amber Ray faced backlash from women across the country after she questioned the financial status of men in a video showcasing her lavish walk-in closet. In the video, Amber Ray proudly displayed her extensive collection of designer shoes, including those belonging to her partner, Rapudo. However, it was her caption that sparked outrage among viewers.
The caption read, "They say all men are the same but... why is yours broke? 🤣🤣😎😎"
Many viewers took offense to Amber Ray's remarks, interpreting them as an attempt to belittle men and flaunt her wealth. In the comments section, individuals expressed their disappointment, advising her to be humble and refrain from rubbing her riches in people's faces. Some argued that true success should be accompanied by humility.
While there were supporters who stood by Amber Ray, reminding her that she had worked hard to attain her wealth, many others shared stories of how their partners, with modest means, still managed to provide for them and make them happy. These individuals emphasized that financial status should not be the sole measure of a man's worth.
