Manosphere messiahs: Kenya
The rise of the global manosphere, including Kenyan influencer Andrew Kibe, with a devoted fan base, and the women paying the price.
It started in the West with influencers like Andrew Tate. Now the manosphere has gone global, with copycats from Africa to Latin America attracting huge audiences and the cash to match. In the second episode of a two-part investigation, reporter Jacqui Wakefield explores the booming industry in Kenya, where social media algorithms are fuelling a growing gender divide. She meets one of the biggest Kenyan influencers, Andrew Kibe, and his devoted fans and asks, are women paying the price?
