Kenyan comedienne Elsa Majimbo recently stirred controversy with allegations against British model Naomi Campbell, with whom she once shared a close friendship.

In an eight-minute video posted on social media, Majimbo claimed that Campbell’s actions pushed her into alcoholism and depression after a disagreement over a documentary. Majimbo explained that their fallout began when Campbell threatened legal action over a documentary Majimbo had made without her consent, despite discussing plans for a joint project during a vacation together in 2020.

Despite deleting the video and tweets, Majimbo stands by her words, emphasizing her decision for peace rather than fear. She clarified that Campbell didn’t directly lead her to alcoholism but that the situation contributed to her actions.

I stand by my words. Content in my decision. The tweets are deleted due to seeking peace, not fear. Yall need to understand this is something that has happened since I was 19. My goal now is happiness

While some commend Majimbo for her bravery in sharing her experience, others express concern about the potential impact on her entertainment career. Meanwhile, Campbell has yet to respond to the allegations.
