Kenyan comedian Elsa Majimbo has raised eyebrows after making allegations against British model and actress Naomi Campbell, with whom she previously had a close friendship.
Elsa turned to social media to release an eight-minute video in which she claimed Campbell pushed her into drinking and sadness after being disappointed in her (Elsa’s) actions.
Elsa and Naomi Campbell first met in 2020, when the supermodel went on vacation to Kenya. Elsa texted her, and the two decided to go on holiday together.
The comedian claimed she was once in a strong relationship with the supermodel and had plans for projects together when Naomi unexpectedly called and threatened her with a lawsuit for filming a documentary without her consent.
Elsa stated that while on vacation with Naomi, they discussed filming a documentary on her (Elsa), with Naomi serving as the financier and counselor.
But evidently, Elsa had done one about herself, and when it aired, Naomi was outraged, and that was the start of their feud.
Elsa also alleged Naomi Campbell told her friends that she made her, something she (Elsa) is not willing to agree with, but acknowledged the affiliation with the supermodel provided her enormous prestige and catapulted her higher up in the entertainment.
Expressing her reasons for speaking out, Majimbo stated, “Talking about the Naomi Campbell situation is very hard and scary for me. But I don’t want to be owned by someone else, and I want to acknowledge a lot of big hits and blows in my career came from another black woman and not my own incompetence.”
She further stated, “I will say that Naomi did give me a lot of credibility, especially when I first came into Hollywood, She made me feel special, she did a lot of things for me, so I wouldn’t say she made me. But she did play a big role in a lot of the things. We’re not friends, we’re not enemies, we’re not anything.”
Recall that the supermodel British model, Naomi Campbell in June 2023 announced the arrival of her second child – a baby boy – at the age of 53.
