Does Vera Sidika fake her lifestyle?
Vera posted a video showing herself dancing and singing along to Tipsy Gee’s hit song Wajue, with the iconic Hollywood sign visible in the background.
The video was reposted by Tipsy Gee, where Raburu left a humorous but sceptical comment.
“Mbona viatu haiwachi imprint kwa mchanga. Queen Vee anafloat walahi, hehehe,” Raburu wrote, joking that Vera appeared to be levitating in the clip.
Vera’s fans quickly tagged her under the comment, prompting the socialite to respond directly and call out Raburu.
In response, Vera branded Raburu a hater and defended her trip.
“A grown man like you hating on a girl that is unbothered and living her best life is something I never thought I would come across in 2026. You go low, I go lower,” she said.
She explained that the spot where she was standing did not have sand for visible footprints, countering Raburu’s levitation joke.
“You think African dust is everywhere? Have you ever been at the Hollywood sign at this specific spot, or are you just hating from outside?” Vera added.
The socialite further defended her reputation, noting that she has frequently travelled to the US over the past 13 years and has no reason to fake her experiences.
“I am not like your favourite celebrity who relies on AI to set imaginary standards on a lifestyle that was dead. I am Vee money, put some respect on my name,” she concluded.
