Kenyan social media personality Imo Unusual has triggered a wave of reactions after posting a controversial comment on Instagram about men, sexuality and relationships.
The influencer wrote:
“I think being gay is the actual sexuality of men. I don’t think men were created for women; they were created for men. Makes sense why men bow down to other men.”
