Liebe Kiki, a Kenyan Instagram influencer, boldly claims that giving lifts to friends without cars makes them lazy and doesn’t motivate them either.

In an Instagram post, Kiki says, “I feel like nikishinda nikibeba ati lift, you'll never be motivated to buy your own car coz Kiki is gonna pick me up.” She goes ahead and suggests that she'd rather you take an Uber if you are in their friend group: “If you are in our friend group and you don’t have a car, just take an Uber, babe.”

The "Baller" Circle and Personal Motivation

In the same video, Kiki shows off her friends, who are luxury car owners, and claims they sometimes decide to park and chill, as they seemed to be doing. “Luckily, all of my friends are ballers,” she says.

She adds that taking lifts from her friends when she didn’t have a car made her uncomfortable, and that she kept asking them to teach her how to make her own money so she could buy her own car.

The Backlash and Gender Dynamics

In her latest Instagram post, Liebe Kiki is pissed that men seem to be the ones offended by her previous remarks. “Why do men get offended when girls do better for themselves?” she asks. She says that women in this generation are only locked into having better lives and driving better cars.

Financial Independence as the Ultimate Equalizer

According to Kiki, getting handouts every time is unsatisfying and will never expose you to the realities of the world. “As a woman, you can never out-strength a man; however, you can have more money than a man and more assets than a man.”

Appearing to speak to ladies, Liebe Kiki insists that men are so quick to call women hoes just because their lifestyle doesn't match their expectations. “Get your money up, and no matter how hard you work or will ever work, men will always say the meanest things.
