Rapper Femi One recently shared her harrowing experience with tear gas during a protest against the proposed Finance Bill 2024 in Nairobi’s CBD. Despite the chaos, Femi maintained her characteristic humor, describing her “maandamano” outfit with a cheeky tone, emphasizing practicality for the potential conflicts ahead.
The artist’s candid moments included jogging on the spot to showcase her readiness for the protest’s challenges. During the demonstration, overwhelmed by tear gas, she nearly cried, only to be humorously reminded by a fellow protester to save her tears for home.
Femi’s engagement in the protest highlighted her disapproval of the bill and called out her local MP for his support of it. Her participation and outspoken stance reflect her commitment to advocating for her community, using her platform to amplify the voices of her constituents.
