Bradley Marongo, a popular influencer from Vihiga, recently shared his exciting plans to expand his brand internationally. During an appearance on The Trend Show on April 4, Bradley opened up about his journey to fame and the life changes that have come with it. He spoke candidly about his past, including the challenges he faced growing up, and how he eventually found success in the social media world.
Bradley revealed that he was of average height until Class Seven and that he had to drop out of school in Form One due to financial constraints. After leaving school, he worked in the matatu industry, which played a significant role in his early life. However, his breakthrough came when he transitioned into the world of social media, where he quickly gained recognition. Despite initial unease about the attention he was receiving, Bradley now embraces his fame and is accustomed to the attention that comes with being a public figure.
Life after fame has been a drastic change for Bradley. He shared how his lifestyle has improved significantly since becoming well-known. “I used to take matatus, but now I’m chauffeured in a Toyota Land Cruiser,” he said. Additionally, he mentioned how finding clothes that fit in Kenya was once a struggle, but now he imports his wardrobe from Dubai, a testament to his newfound success. He also joked about his unusually large shoe size, revealing that he wears size 58 shoes.
However, Bradley’s rise to fame hasn’t been without its challenges. He acknowledged the criticism he has faced, particularly about his content from Dubai. Some people have commented that his posts were demeaning, but Bradley explained that content creators often face backlash, no matter the success of their posts. Despite the negativity, he is confident and continues to push forward with his work, noting that he has received support from both local and international brands.
Looking ahead, Bradley shared some of his exciting plans. He revealed that he will be traveling back to Dubai in November, followed by a trip to India in December to star in a Bollywood movie. “In January, I’ll be heading to the US,” he added. With such a busy schedule ahead, Bradley is also in the process of building his team, working with two managers and currently looking for a personal assistant to help him manage his growing career.
The influencer’s announcement sparked a range of reactions from his fans. Many expressed their support for him, praising his hard work and wishing him continued success. “Bradley seems like a cool, humble guy. I honestly wish him more success,” one fan commented. Another person urged him to be cautious about sharing too much of his plans, suggesting that some people might take advantage of such revelations. “Stop revealing all your plans, bro,” they advised. Others offered words of encouragement, highlighting how far Bradley has come, with one fan remarking, “God’s time is the best, he is never late.”
In addition to discussing his career, Bradley also revealed that he has a crush on The Trend Show host, Amina Abdi. When asked about his feelings for her, Bradley boldly admitted that he was interested in her. However, when Amina confirmed that she was married, Bradley wasn’t deterred and even went as far as presenting her with an expensive phone he had bought for her in Dubai. Bradley also shared that he is currently single and doesn’t have a family.
Bradley Marongo’s journey from struggling with school fees to becoming an internationally recognized influencer and actor is a testament to his perseverance and determination. As he continues to rise to fame, he remains grounded, keeping an eye on his goals while navigating the challenges of his public life.
