Kenyan social media personality Cera Imani has fired back at her ex-boyfriend, luxury car dealer Khalif Kairo, after he claimed to have spent nearly KSh 300,000 during their relationship.

Cera dismissed the statement with a pointed challenge: “I think you can go back to him and ask him to show us the evidence.”

Her clapback immediately set off heated debates online, with fans split over whether Kairo’s revelation was necessary — and whether it should even be believed.

In a recent sit-down with entertainment journalists, Khalif Kairo reflected on his past romance with Cera. He claimed that during their time together, his spending amounted to about KSh 300,000.

Although the remark was made in the context of a broader discussion on lifestyle and relationships, it quickly stole the spotlight and dominated online conversations.

Supporters said his comments underscored the financial expectations tied to modern dating. Critics, however, saw it as little more than bragging — or an attempt to belittle his ex.

Cera was quick to clap back in a separate interview, flatly questioning her ex’s claim. “I think you can go back to him and ask him to show us the evidence,” she told journalists.

Her response not only cast doubt on the accuracy of Kairo’s statement but also signaled her frustration at being dragged into what she viewed as unnecessary public spectacle. By demanding proof, she effectively shifted the burden back on him.

The exchange has once again spotlighted Kenya’s influencer culture, where public figures frequently flaunt wealth and weave it into their personal narratives.

Kairo, known for showcasing high-end cars and a flashy lifestyle, has built his brand on luxury. To critics, his claim about spending KSh 300,000 on a relationship is just another extension of that image.

Cera’s sharp rebuttal resonated with many who felt she was right to call out what they saw as performative clout.

This isn’t the first time Kairo’s candid talk about money and lifestyle has stirred online chatter. His bold personality has long drawn both admiration and criticism.

For Cera, though, this moment is more personal. By demanding receipts, she has made it clear that she won’t let her past relationship be reduced to a price tag for public entertainment.
