Kenyan actress and content creator, Trisha Khalid, has responded to allegations that a married man is financing her lavish lifestyle.
The rumours have been circulating since December 2024, following a grand birthday party she hosted. The event sparked speculation that a man, who has since been linked to her, was behind the funding.
The buzz intensified after popular Kenyan blogger Edgar Obare shared details about the alleged sponsor, including his profession and wife.
According to Obare, the man, a truck driver based in the United States, was using his resources to fund the actress’s expenses, including a lavish vacation.
Obare revealed that it was, in fact, the wife of the truck driver who had reached out to him, providing shocking evidence that her husband was spending money he didn’t have on Trisha.
The woman also claimed that she had unknowingly helped pick out dresses for Trisha from a fashion house, unaware that her husband had bought them for the actress.
As the rumours spread, Kenyans took to social media, demanding that Trisha speak out on the matter.
Some netizens advised her to stay away from other women’s husbands, while others defended her, pointing out that many other women in the city were involved in similar situations, receiving financial support from various sponsors.
Despite the growing speculation, Trisha remained quiet for a while.
Her social media presence remained focused on her usual content until January 6, when she shared a playful video on TikTok, lip-syncing and dancing to a popular song.
In the caption, she wrote, “You guys worry too much, relax”.
However, even after this lighthearted post, more questions poured into her comment section, with users continuing to ask about the ongoing sponsorship claims.
One particular comment from a user asked, “I just heard, I don’t know, the birthday was sponsored by your own husband when you are about to kill the lady, you should take her husband…I just heard, I can see it for myself”.
Trisha, with her signature sense of humour, responded with, “What does the man himself say about it?” followed by a laughing emoji.
This response, while playful, did not provide any concrete answers to the allegations, leaving many people wondering whether the speculation held any truth.
