Kenyan Netizens Claim the Football Icon

One excited user, @CityNFTz, declared, "He is half Kenyan you know?"
Another fan, @goetline, chimed in, "His mum is Kenyan fyi. They are at home."
@paulchrisp14962 was equally convinced, writing, "He's a Kenyan through his mum."
Echoing the sentiment, @Railamania posted, "Her mom brought him home. She has Kenyan roots."
@goldengoose925 added, "He's a Kenyan though...born by a Kenyan mother."
Another user, @prince_keli, remarked, "His mother took him to her ancestral home."
Meanwhile, @DanielKwalia gave a relaxed take: "More like Jude's mom decided to take him home for a vacation tbh."
Others kept it strictly hospitable. @Treenafula warmly welcomed him, writing, "Lovely! Welcome to Kenya, here everyone is called Sifuna."
Stellar World Cup Form Keeps Bellingham in the Spotlight
The 23-year-old maestro has been turning heads on the pitch as one of England’s standout performers. After a sensational debut season with Real Madrid—where he immediately established himself as a focal point, winning the UEFA Champions League and La Liga—Bellingham carried that electric form onto the international stage.
During the 2026 FIFA World Cup, he dropped masterclass after masterclass in midfield. Bagging crucial goals, assists, and dominant performances, he made history by scoring 7 goals—the most ever scored by any English player at a single World Cup tournament—propelling the Three Lions deep into the semi-finals, where they were knocked out by Argentina who were knocked out of the competition by Spain.
