Stand-up comedian and digital content creator Eunice Wanjiru Njoki, popularly known as Mammito, is once again making waves online with her hilarious take on the latest fashion trend, backless deras.
In a short skit shared on her official Instagram account on Monday, February 16, 2026, Mammito teamed up with fellow content creator Mitchelle Joyce, alias MJaka Mfine, to poke fun at and highlight the challenges some women face when wearing backless deras as they try out the revealing outfits.
In the video, Mammito is heard complaining that her backless dera does not reveal her body shape the way MJaka Mfine’s does
“Yangu hainitoi vile wewe yako inakutoa,” Mammito quipped, highlighting the struggles petite women face while wearing the outfit.
“Yako ni mafru,” MJaka Mfine responded, adding a humorous contrast.
“Hapana yangu ni tumbanya , ona hainitoi vile nataka, hata si feel confident,” Mammito added, driving home the comedy with exaggerated frustration.
The mother of one went on to reveal that the back-revealing fashion trend, popular with many, is not meant for everyone.
“Hizi backless dera si za kila mtu,” Mammito revealed.
Through the skit, Mammito effectively satirises the backless dera trend, showing that while the outfits may look glamorous, they are not practical. or flattering, for everyone.
