Radio personality and content creator Azziad Nasenya / AZZIAD NASENYA INSTAGRAMRadio personality and content creator Azziad Nasenya has set the record straight regarding her financial status.
This comes after the content creator faced backlash online with claims of sinking in debt to fund her lifestyle.
However, speaking on Tuesday at her show the Habari Shuffle on Sound City Radio, Azziad dismissed the claims.
She said she does not borrow money to fund her lifestyle as a public figure. Azziad addressed the issue after a Kenyan asked her if she had cleared her debts.
“This is a question; it is something that has been there; social media is funny; it is like a giant movie set where everyone can be a scriptwriter, and lately I have been watching some of the most creative stories unfold, except this time the main character is me,” she said on a video posted on her Instagram stories.
“I don’t borrow to fund my lifestyle because I don’t need to. What you forget is that this did not start today; I have been building, working, and investing in myself for years.”
Azziad said she has put in the work, sacrificed, and hustled smart for her results to speak for themselves.
“This idea that I took loans to fund my glamorous image is just that—a story line, a trending topic for a few days. What does not trend is my hard work, consistency, and my brand,” Azziad added.
The content creator said that she is addressing the debts she owes with the people directly.
She, however, remained positive, saying that the allegations are just a trending topic and soon they will pass.
“Regarding payment of debts, what I can say is that I am handling this matter directly with the people involved. Real responsibility does not happen in comment sections; it happens in actions,” she said.
Azziad added that she won’t let social media drama define her financial decisions and dictate how she handles her business.
According to her, what matters most is that she is doing the work, having the conversations, and working towards making things right.
“For anyone wondering where I stand, I stand in my truth, in growth, in action, and not noise. Trust me, this is just another shuffle. I move forward, I step up, and I've learned the lesson because, at the end of the day, the reflex is handling your business in silence and let actions speak louder than any headline, and that is exactly what I am doing,” she said.
She called on young Kenyans, especially women, to remain resilient in their work and work towards achieving the goals.
“If you have ever felt misunderstood or ever had your hard work questioned, just know that your truth is not up for debate. Let people talk and let them speculate, and at the end of the day, your work will always outlive the gossip.”
