Kenyan socialite and entrepreneur Vera Sidika has once again stirred up online buzz after accusing Anerlisa Muigai, the heiress to the Keroche Breweries empire, of stalking her Instagram page.
Vera, known for her unfiltered personality and social media flair, shared screenshots showing Anerlisa briefly following and then unfollowing her, suggesting it was not the first time such an incident had occurred.

“She Keeps Checking On Me” – Vera Sidika
In a series of now-deleted Instagram Stories, Vera wrote:
“She followed me, watched my stories, then unfollowed like she didn’t. Same old trick. Girl, you can stalk me, I don’t mind, but the on and off follow-unfollow game? Weird.”
The screenshots appeared to show Anerlisa’s profile appearing under Vera’s “followers” list, only to vanish minutes later — prompting Vera to label it as intentional stalking behavior.
Anerlisa Responds: “My Nephew Did It”
Not one to stay silent, Anerlisa Muigai quickly responded via her own Instagram, denying the allegations and claiming the brief follow was accidental.
She wrote:
“My nephew had my phone and followed a couple of people, including some celebrities. I can only imagine the excitement of my follow. 😂 I wasn’t stalking anyone.”
The Keroche heiress appeared unbothered by the accusations and dismissed them as an attempt to create unnecessary online drama.
Fans React as Drama Unfolds
The exchange has drawn mixed reactions from fans online, with some siding with Vera and others defending Anerlisa. The hashtag #VeraVsAnerlisa began trending on X (formerly Twitter) shortly after.
Many users noted the petty nature of the dispute, with one fan writing:
“Imagine blaming your nephew for a follow… classic celebrity excuse.”
Another added:
“Kenyan socialites never disappoint with drama. Waiting for the next chapter.”
Why It Matters in the World of Celeb Branding
Celebrity interactions on social media, no matter how trivial, have significant implications in digital branding and follower engagement. Experts from Forbes have discussed how such public disputes, while controversial, can increase visibility and brand relevance, particularly when timed with other business ventures.
For instance, both Vera Sidika and Anerlisa Muigai run beauty and lifestyle brands that thrive on public attention. A spike in mentions — even over Instagram follow drama — often correlates with increased traffic and sales.
