Kenyan socialite Huddah Monroe has said she would rather remain single than marry a Kenyan man, according to Tuko. She reportedly attributed her stance to poor manners and what she described as deep-rooted issues affecting relationships with Kenyan men. Monroe also spoke about her experiences dating across different cultures, suggesting her preference was shaped by those encounters. Her remarks have drawn attention in Kenyan entertainment circles, adding to ongoing public debate about relationships and cultural expectations in the country.

Ugandan singer Rahmah Pinky has explained why she keeps her distance from former female colleagues, saying the move is meant to preserve her personal boundaries and prevent her from picking up unhealthy habits. According to Mbu, Pinky said limiting closeness with female peers helps her maintain a healthier lifestyle and focus on her own wellbeing. The comments were shared in a report published by the Ugandan entertainment news outlet on September 9, 2026.
