Kenyans on social media have revived an old comment by content creator Sheryl Gabriella after she appealed for financial support towards the burial of her late father.
Gabriella had previously sparked conversations online after saying, “Now compare me with your broke girlfriends who ask you for 2k urgently.”
The statement has now resurfaced after Gabriella sought help with her father’s send-off, with some Kenyans questioning the contrast between her earlier remarks and her current fundraising appeal.
Social media users have flooded the comments with reactions, with some reminding her of the statement and others arguing that her previous comments should not prevent her from receiving support during a difficult family moment.
The controversy has once again highlighted how quickly old social media remarks can resurface when circumstances change.
As the fundraising appeal continues to circulate online, the reaction has been mixed, with some Kenyans offering sympathy while others have focused on Gabriella’s previous comments about women who ask men for financial assistance.
The internet, as many users pointed out, never forgets.
