She didn't move to Kenya and she's leasing that farm
She cannot legally own land in the country because she isnt a citizen .

Kenya didnt want what the Boers did to South Africa by owning 70% of the land , so they purposely put laws in their constitution to prevent noncitizens from owning land. Its a defence mechanism from a Warren Buffet deciding he wants to recolonize. Or a similar situation to when Americoliberians left America after slavery and built fiefdoms in Liberia at the detriment of locals.

There are ways around it tho. They offer what amounts to a lifetime leases on property which have a limit of 99 years. They even restricted which pieces of land can be leased so that foreigners dont just try to lease the whole country. But after the lease term, the property reverts back to local control. So Kelis basically controls her farm until she dies. Its funtionally identical to ownership, but it prevents the land from being permanatly lost to Westerners or passed down.


I suspect part of the reason she is spending so much time in Kenya is so that she can meet the residency requirements to become a full citizen. At that point she will be able to own land like a normal Kenyan. It requires her to be there as a resident for 7 years first. Once agian this is a precaution against colonization, since your average white person from the west isnt willing to commit that long to their colonization scheme.

During my own hotep phase, i had considered buying property in Nairobi for a cheap retirement. The nonlease land is very very cheap relative to American properties. So looked up all the laws,but i personally found the need to stay for 7 years too onerous to make it worth it as a US citizen.

Book that flight Kenya Airways :shaq:

Im disgusted that they proudly say Capetown. :scust:


That place is depressing as hell since all the white people still control all the good stuff in the city.


It reminds of Chicago where black people are relegated to the south side in decript , underesourced, crime-ridden neighborhoods ; while all the tax dollars, security infrastructure, and good properties are in the North . They dont even give loans to local black people to live in better neighborhoods in Capetown either. It Defeats the point of being in Africa if you still have to deal with systemic WS and literal white racism. :francis:

I know, plus she doesn't have full custody of Knight
She can't move him to Kenya or spend a lot of time away from him
It's cool what she's doing but it's all for content
She tried the same stunt in Colombia but Nas wasn't having it
