These ‘slay queen’ jokes will crack your ribs

By EDDY KAGERA August 18th, 2017 1 min read

Women who go to great lengths to expose their ‘cool’ lifestyles on social media have become the butt of the joke on social media.

Known as slay queens, this crop of women, most often living a fake lifestyle, often take unusual routes to stardom.

For starters, slay queens are different from socialites, who are somewhat influencers.

For instance, the so called slay queen, all dolled up, will take the bus to the airport departures area and take a few photos and hop onto the next bus out of the airport.

Others will visit the rich uncle and pose for pictures in the living or guest room with the signature pose of putting one leg at an angle.

The pictures will go on social media with hashtags such as #MyCrib, #Globetrotter and #SlayQueen, etc.

The intention is to draw likes, “awww” and emoji comments. But a critical look exposes the hidden lies.
So, social media users have been having a ball trolling them.

Below are a few:
