Victoria Kimani has come forward to address the uproar triggered by her recent remarks regarding a “fake blue Rolls-Royce” spotted in East Africa, a comment that quickly went viral and sparked heated discussions online.
Her words, shared during a podcast discussion about luxury vehicles in the region, were widely interpreted as a subtle dig at Tanzanian music star Diamond Platnumz, who is known to own a Rolls-Royce. However, Kimani has firmly denied that her comment was aimed at anyone specific, calling out the public for making unfounded assumptions.
In the original podcast, the conversation focused on high-end cars that are making rounds in East Africa. During this chat, Kimani referred to a blue Rolls-Royce which, although bearing the luxury badge, appeared suspiciously inauthentic to her. She expressed doubts about the car’s genuineness, pointing out that while it carried the name “Rolls-Royce,” it may not have been the real deal.
Her mention of the car’s color and vague references to its whereabouts led listeners to speculate heavily, with many concluding she was shading Diamond. One of the podcast hosts even tossed in the name of a neighboring country, prompting Kimani to clarify that she hadn’t mentioned any country specifically, saying, “I didn’t say TZ.” She went further to suggest that such conclusions were being drawn based on people’s own biases, not her statements.
As the backlash intensified and she started trending in East African social spaces—particularly in Tanzania—Kimani took the opportunity to address the issue head-on. She questioned why her general remarks had been linked to a specific individual, challenging the idea that only one person in East Africa owns a Rolls-Royce. “Why are they connecting it to him?” she asked rhetorically, adding that she made no mention of anyone’s name during the conversation.
Kimani stood by her words but emphasized that her comments were open-ended. According to her, if people chose to read more into the statement than was said, that was their prerogative—not her intent. She stressed that she was merely commenting on a vehicle she found questionable and was not trying to throw shade at anyone.
Despite the tension the incident stirred online, Kimani made it clear there’s no personal animosity between her and Diamond Platnumz. Addressing the state of their relationship, she stated plainly that she doesn’t have any issues with him, reaffirming that everything is fine between them.
Ultimately, Kimani’s response underscores her frustration with being misinterpreted and misquoted. She urged people to avoid jumping to conclusions and to stop attaching names to statements when none were mentioned. Her message was simple: not every public comment is a subliminal attack, and sometimes, a statement about a car is just that—a comment about a car.
