It's no secret that the higher the number of followers you have on social media, the more popular you are. It's the age of followers, likes, and comments. You can't be a millennial and have no following on your social media pages. I mean, how do you even survive?
So, here's a list of some Kenyan icons with the most followers on Instagram.

I bet you were wondering when Vera Sidika would be mentioned right? Well, here she is in 5th place with over a million followers. Yes, I know she's neither popular for being a musician or an actor but hey, you cannot deny she has a following you secretly wish for.
Love her or hate her, this socialite has made the list. Whether it's for bleaching or her behind, she has girls wishing they were her and guys wishing they were with her.
