Gay or Straight? Kenyans debate after Sauti Sol’s Chimano’s photo

A recent post by singer Chimamo of Sauti Sol erupted into huge and rather ugly discussion in the comment section and online as a whole as majority of Kenyans argued over the singer’s sexuality.

Willis Chimano angered a section of Kenyans when he posted a picture of himself wearing nail polish, rekindling rumours that he’s gay.

#awesome #happiness #soulstyleattitude tonight was awesome! Y’all came out!!! So much love! #THANKYOU #firstgig #Australia #Perth#MelbourneAwaits #seeyoutomorrownight,” posted Chimamo who is in Australia for tour.

Chimamo, however, is not new to these rumors and allegations. For the better part of his career, the singer has been accused of being gay though other members of the band have come out to deny.

Here’s what fans had to say after the photo:
