Content creator Pritty Vishy has stirred public debate after stating she is not interested in dating black men. The remarks sparked discussion of colourism, self-image, and public influence.
Kenyan content creator and social media personality Pritty Vishy has once again drawn public attention after making remarks about her dating preferences. In a video circulating online, she stated that she is no longer interested in dating black men, a comment that has since generated intense discussions across social platforms.
The remarks were widely interpreted as rooted in colourism, with many Kenyans expressing disappointment and concern over the message it could send to young audiences. Others, however, argued that personal dating choices should be respected, even when controversial.
Many netizens strongly criticised the statement, saying it suggested negative perceptions of African identity and complexion.
“This is not just a preference, it’s a sensitive issue that affects how people see themselves,”
One social media user commented.
Others noted that Pritty Vishy often finds herself at the centre of public conversation and suggested that the reaction may also reflect the influence and scrutiny that comes with online fame.
The conversation unfolded shortly after Stivo Simple Boy, Pritty Vishy’s former partner, and his girlfriend Brenda welcomed a baby boy.
The musician, known for his hit Freshi Barida, shared the news online and received warm messages of congratulations from fans and fellow artists.
Supporters celebrated the positive milestone, noting his continued focus on family and music.
The online reactions highlight ongoing national conversations about self-identity, public influence, and the responsibility that comes with social platforms. As discussions continue, many have encouraged promoting positivity, respect, and sensitivity in public expression, especially on issues linked to race and personal identity.
