Kenyan model and influencer Elsa Majimbo has called out supermodel Naomi Campbell.
In a lengthy video, the Kenyan model took to her Tiktok page to narrate the ordeal she went through with Naomi Campbell.
According to her, back in 2020, she and Naomi followed each other on social media and everyone around her knew Naomi Campbell was her role model.
Months later, Naomi was shopping in Nairobi and when Elsa found out, she sent a message to the supermodel expressing her interest in meeting her; a request the supermodel agreed to.
They met up in Nairobi and Naomi took her shopping alongside her brother. After the shopping, Naomi invited Elsa to vacation with her. This invitation made Elsa extremely happy as she idolized Naomi Campbell for a long time.
While on vacation, Naomi Campbell suggests to Elsa Majimba to make a documentary about her(Elsa Majimba’s) life in Kenya and her break into Hollywood.
However, the problems started when Elsa Majimbo shot a documentary about her experiences with discrimination and surviving as a woman of color without informing Naomi Campbell.
Naomi Campbell felt left out and called Elsa Majimba on the phone, expressing outrage over being left in the dark about the documentary. Elsa tried to explain that this documentary was a different one from the one Naomi suggested to her, but Naomi did not have it.
Majimbo adds that Efforts at explaining the situation to Naomi Campbell seemed abortive. Instead, things got worse and Campbell became increasingly hostile towards her. They even cut communication.
Majimbo added that the situation almost drove her off the cliff mentally. She also revealed she had to resort to drinking after feeling ostracised in the industry.
Months later, Majimbo says she was at an event and met up with Ghanaian fashion icon and editor of British Vogue, Edward Enninful. Majimbo alleges her conversation with Enninful made her realize that her issue with Naomi Campbell could be responsible for her industry Ostracism.
On why she’s speaking about it now, Majimbo says,
“Talking about the Naomi Campbell situation is very hard and scary for me. But i don’t want to be owned by someone else and i want to acknowledge a lot of big hits and blows in my career came from another black woman and not my own incompetence.”
