Her Instagram activities do little to mask the kind of
life she grandiosely lives. She's not shy to post her enviable life
online... And just when you thought she's just a pretty Bimbo with a jet
set lifestyle,you quickly learn that she's actually a singer too. And a
very sexy one at that.
Few female singers manage to elicit a buzz locally- and
keep the buzz going,not hurt for their music but also for their
glamour,candor,jazz,work ethic, antics,beauty and sheer showmanship.
But one girl seems to be in a rush to put a dent to a
trend,and quickly dislocate everyone from the scene. Vivacious,
aggressive,feisty,jaunty and immensely talented,Mercy Wangari,popularly
known as Sheikha,isn't the type of girl you want to be in a race with.
For starters,you will recall the 2015 rumor of the
Kikuyu girl who almost wrecked a hunky Premier League Footballer's
marriage - and career - by cavorting with him and pleasuring him for a
straight seven days in Dubai where they met at Charity Event held at the
swanky Burj Al Arab Jumeirah hotel.
Photos of the two would emerge and get sensationally
published on a leading Arabia Diaspora blog for Kenyans in the UAE but
those photos - and the tawdry story,too- would quickly disappear and the
rumor was disapproved by a vehement Sheikha.
But that didn't end her flirtation with controversy. In fact,it plunged her into a life of excesses and overnight stardom.
She then came for Akothee... Crowning herself the new
Queen of Glamour,thus opening up a chapter of female singers who are not
just singers but also hoarders of a Crown,fierce foes and competitors
ferociously fighting for supremacy and dominance.
''I could buy off Akothee and her whole clan. I
seriously could... Half of what she does is child's play. If I were to
go all out,little Miss Stripper Girl wouldn't stand a chance... '' she
said of Akothee earlier this year to a local blog that was all too
jazzed to run with the story.
Buzzword : Little Miss Stripper Girl.
A new season of beef,headlined by female singers,seemed to have been opened.
But who is Sheikha? Well,this is what we know so far.
She's the Instagram Goddess who seems to have traveled
half across the World,dined at the finest hotels across the
Atlantic,wined at the best Wineries in town and accumulated an insane
amount of wealth,posting it all up on the 'Gram,all too eager to cement
her financial place in the Industry.
Like A Queen: Sheikha poses like true Royalty for a photoshoot.
Also,we do know that she lives in Qatar and London. And
frequently flies to France,to the City of Love,to have a
hedonism-filled weekend,with equally-endowed white friends,under the
glimmering Eiffel Tower,posing for photos next to pricey Lamborghinis
and Ferraris.
Thirdly,we do know that she once led to the break up of
a Nairobi-based Couple after the man was caught numerously using one of
her sultry photos as his phone background wallpaper. The relationship
ended swiftly... And was,interestingly,all caught on tape. The video of
which we shall embed here.
Fourth,we know that she has dated a Dubai billionaire
and Oil mogul and that he's the man who invited her at the Burj Al Arab
Jumeirah hotel for a Charity event before she got quickly snapped up in
the arms of the dashing English soccer star and open a chapter of
controversy and sleaze.
Fifth,we do know that she launched a blistering
broadside against Akothee,threatening to dethrone her (from what
Throne?) and joking that she was wealthy enough to buy Akothee off. And
her whole '' little band'' as she put it.
Lastly,we are aware that she stays at the New Stanley
hotel in Westlands whenever she's in town... And that she flies in after
every four to five months to inspect businesses,record music,start a
little kerfuffle,brush a couple shoulders the wrong way and shoot
videos,on a budget big enough to cover your cousin's entire Campus fees.
Asked about Jaguar,she said, '' If you had a whole
Government funding your music and lifestyle,you too would be balling
like him... '' Ouch.
And of Prezzo,it was even more blunt, '' It's 2016. Kindly let's talk about people who are still alive... My condolences... ''
We also know that Sheikha dropped her debut single' 'Bahati '' early this year,whose colorful video,shot with a very high budget,quickly became a YouTube phenomenon.
Sheikha in all her glitz and glamour.
The 22-year old casually brushes aside the talk about
her secret rendezvous with a married Premier League player. Or about her
relationship with wealthy Dubai oil magnates. Or the source of her
wealth,what she does abroad and who funds her glitzy flights across the
globe,flying first class.
She insists it's all the results of her work. And we have no choice but to believe her.
Sipping directly from a bottle of $29.99 worth of Luc
Belaire Rose wine,sitting at the back seat of a blood red BMW X6,her
luscious hair blowing away and her $95.80 Manolo Blahnik shoes
carelessly thrown around the parking lot, Sheikha introduces her newest
song and music video,Yebede which is slightly over a week old.
And just like her role models,the divacentric Jennifer
Lopez or the iconic Miriam Makeba, Sheikha seems
undaunted,spirited,invincible,
A star seems to have been born. But there's so many questions we need to ask.
Like,who exactly,is this woman? And who is funding her?
One thing is for sure though,her music is fire. And that's so tantalizingly shocking.
Catch the girl's music below. A phenomenon is here,people. Sit up and watch
