5 biggest mansions built by Kenyan celebs in their rural villages

Most of the celebs who have put up big mansions in their villages equally own luxurious homes in the cities where they are mostly based.

Below are the celebs who own big mansions in the villages:

Jalang’o

Lang’ata Member of Parliament (MP) Felix Odiwuor alias Jalang’o build his mansion in Gem, Siaya county even before he ventured into politics.

Jaguar

In a post on August 20, 2021, the former Starehe MP took to social media to share images of his rural mansion, while taking note of his humble beginnings.

“I left my home 13 years ago with no shoes… God’s work #the return,” Jaguar wrote.

Gidi Gidi

Celebrated rapper-cum-radio presenter Joseph Oyoo alias Gidi Gidi built himself a palace in his rural home in Homa Bay county.

Gidi Gidi’s mansion was first seen in photos shared by Jalang’o who visited him in Homa Bay for a function held in honour of his mother.

Gidi rose from a humble background in Dandora to make it big as a rapper in Kenyan showbiz.

He dominated airwaves in the early 2000s with his rap colleague Maji Maji with hit songs like ‘Unbwogable’ ‘Many Faces’ among others.

“Someone tell Bill Gates my house needs updated Windows!” MCA Tricky joked.
