Kenyan digital creator Joy Njoki explains why she turns down good offers she gets from high-end sponsors wanting to win her heart.
Speaking during an interview with our very own journalist, SilvaKido, she revealed that she has turned down money offers because money is not everything, as someday it might just end.
“Si uliona niliitwa kuenda U. K nikakataa money si not everything, mimi I am such a lover girl….sasa mimi nikianza kuchukuana na mzungu saa hii…mimi I am a lover girl I want the family setup natak kuona bwana jioni…such like things,” Njoki explained.
She also disclosed why she wouldn’t want a man who provides everything for her because she won’t grow as a person and that makes her a housewife.
“For me to accept just being given It is not fun for me. I can literally refuse a man because he is giving everything to me.”
Why she Hasn’t Featured in any Music Video
She also talked about why she has never thought of featuring in any music video, inasmuch as she loves Arbantone, which is a new trending genre in Kenya, saying she hasn’t featured in any yet because she says she won’t be comfortable on music videos.
“I don’t do music videos… I honestly don’t feel like I don’t think like I love being on videos, like mostly song videos, unless nimekaa tuh chini na look tuh pretty. Probably I don’t feel like it is my passion.” Njoki clarified.

Why She Wouldn’t Charge to Feature in any Music Video
She also revealed that if she must feature in an artist’s video, she would do it willingly without wanting something in return, saying she would prefer it that way than the other way around because creatives are supposed to support each other as they might need each other in the long run.
“I can do it for people who don’t pay me…Juu sitakangi kulipwa na msee ndio nmfanyie video because tuko kwa Industry pamoja ikibidi umenilipa mimi nikikuhitaji kesho si itabidi unilipe pia mimi. There’s no need for me to get paid to do a video for someone.” Njoki shared.
She also said she is not selective on whom she can work with and will support any artist despite their status, whether they are doing well, have been in the game for a for a long or are just starting.
Speaking of what she might tolerate and not tolerate, she says she won’t do anything sexual or insensitive, basically anything that will make her uncomfortable and jeorpadize her brand.
“Siwezi kua video vixen ya anywhere sexual, anywhere twerking, anywhere…such bad things, that’s not what I include in my branding.”Njoki shared.
