The genesis of Vera & Shakilla beef
Last year, social media went ablaze recently as the former friends ignited their feud. The drama unfolded over…wait for it…hair color!
Shakilla, who was vacationing in South Africa, was sporting a bold red hairstyle, even dubbing herself a “Red Hair Baddie” on social media. Meanwhile, Vera was busy hosting gigs at Kenyan clubs, also sporting a red wig in promotional materials.
The seemingly harmless red locks became the battleground when Shakilla took to Vera’s comments section, accusing her of copying.
“Copying my hair color is crazy ♀️,” she wrote, sparking a firestorm with hundreds of comments.
Vera wasn’t about to take the accusation lying down. She fired back with a harsh response, shutting Shakilla down with an insult.
This isn’t the first time these two socialites have clashed. Mid last year, their feud erupted during an interview. Shakilla took aim at Vera’s age and status as a mother, suggesting she should “retire” from the socialite scene.
Vera, ever the comeback queen, countered by pointing out the hypocrisy of Shakilla admiring an “old nyash” (derogatory term for buttocks) that Shakilla supposedly bashes in public.
Their spat proved the internet can be a playground for pettiness. For now, the two socialites have decided to bury the hatchet.
