Popular content creator J Segera has once again stirred up reactions among fans due to his distinctive style of ‘high-end’ content, often featuring young adults from affluent backgrounds. Segera, who is known for walking around with a tiny microphone and portable camera, shooting spontaneous questions at people during parties and on public streets, has become a hot topic after posting a video where he interviews young thrill-seekers in Nairobi.
In the video, Segera poses a playful question to several young women and men: “Who is the most attractive person at this party?” The participants enthusiastically jump into the trivia, some even bringing their “attractive” friends over to join the fun. Segera, as always, seems to thrive off the buzz his question generates, as more partygoers eagerly participate.
One by one, the young women offer up names, with some mentioning Anita, others Tina, while names like Owen and Ashley also come up. However, what caught the attention of many Kenyans was the crowd Segera appeared to be interacting with—urbane, stylishly dressed, trendy, and exuding a distinctly Westernized vibe, complete with thick British accents.
The video sparked a wave of humorous and satirical comments online. One viewer joked, “Hapa ukijaribu kusema woza woza unajipata Ngomongo police station!” Another quipped, “Hapa ukisema ‘Zimeshika’ unapelekwa Guantanamo bay…” A third chimed in with, “Hapa ukizima unaamka na simu zako zote kwa mfuko na wamecharge…”
Many also remarked on the strikingly foreign accents of the crowd, with some identifying East London tones and others picking up West African influences. This led to curiosity about where Segera finds such a group of people and whether they are actually based in Kenya.
Aside from the accents, Kenyans were quick to notice the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere of the party, with revelers appearing carefree and in high spirits, sparking even more conversation about Segera’s unique content and the stylish crowd he engages with.
One of the people Segera questions kicks off the “accent drive,” pronouncing the word “party” as “paa-ey” in a thick London accent, which sparked a lot of reactions online. A viewer commented, “These accents are so forced! I don’t know, maybe it’s just me. Are these Kenyans? We have people in Kenya who speak like this? Daily? Or is it just a drunk act? I wanna know where this dude keeps finding these people!”
This isn’t the first time Segera has made waves with the types of people he interacts with for his content. Earlier this year, he once again captivated the internet with another group of youthful partygoers who seemed carefree, living in an almost idyllic world. That interview introduced Kenyans to the concept of astral projection, with one participant sparking curiosity with her eccentric musings on spirituality and the human psyche.
In the April interview, a young woman left viewers baffled with her philosophical ramblings. “My name is Maruru, and I’m having a human experience in this vessel. But I’m not human,” she declared. She added, “I’m a vessel, an instrument of nature, man. I’m into philosophy and esoteric knowledge. Pre-history and history, like, I just love humanity…”
Segera has clearly carved out a unique niche in the trivia genre of content creation, which is already popular on platforms like TikTok. The distinctiveness of his content comes from the type of people he approaches—people whose speech, style, and surroundings almost always get the internet buzzing. And the funniest part? They might not even know they’re becoming viral sensations.
One viewer humorously remarked, “Hapa ukigotha unafungwa jela,” highlighting the hilarity Segera’s interviews often provoke.
