Social media users on Thursday were left in shock after a popular socialite, Gilo Ntinyari, claimed that she is still underage despite her grown appearance that has attracted attention from many online users. Her statement quickly went viral, sparking mixed reactions across different platforms.
In her message, she insisted that she is only 17 years old and still a student. She said she was surprised to discover that more than 20,000 men have been flooding her inbox with messages expressing romantic interest in her.
She noted that many people online misunderstand her age because of her physical appearance.
She further warned that men should be very careful, saying that if authorities get involved, those engaging in inappropriate conversations with minors could face serious legal consequences, including arrest and possible jail time. Her message appeared to be a strong caution to those contacting her online.
She also urged Kenyan men to focus on their personal lives and real responsibilities instead of chasing women they see on social media. She emphasized that not every person online is an adult, and assumptions can lead to serious problems with the law.
However, her statement has left many Kenyans confused and debating online, with some questioning how such a large number of people could be interested in someone claiming to be underage, while others advised caution and responsibility when interacting on social media platforms.
