Pritty Vishy, a popular social media personality and influencer, recently found herself at the center of controversy after making a public appeal to her followers for financial assistance to buy a new fridge.
"Si mninunulie tu hii fridge aiiiu😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣," she wrote on Instagram.
The response from the online community was polarized. Many users criticized her for asking fans for financial help, arguing that as an influencer with a significant following, she should be able to cover such expenses on her own. Some viewed it as an opportunistic move, suggesting that it might exploit her followers' goodwill.
On the other hand, a segment of her fanbase defended her, arguing that public figures often face unexpected financial challenges and that asking for support is a personal choice.
They highlighted that influencers frequently share aspects of their lives with their audience and that such requests can be part of maintaining a connection with their followers.
Despite the backlash, Pritty did not let the negative comments affect her.
She fired back at those who criticized her, which led to even more trolling.
One user commented, "I'm grateful I have purchased things without even a bob from TikTok, anyway just here for fun," to which Pritty responded, "Nani ndo amenunua na za TikTok? Anyway si pesa ni pesa bora wenye wanatoanga wakuangi wamekuwa forced."
Another user mocked her, saying, "The only ex mwenye hajawai move on in the whole world," to which Pritty replied, "And that's on a prrrrrr😊."
Pritty also revealed that she has been trolled many times and has developed a thick skin.
She now knows how to handle those who try to bring her down, whether through body shaming or mocking her lifestyle.
