  • KOT angered by Naomi Campbell's new video showcasing Kenya.
  • Kenya appointed Ms Campbell as the Magical Kenya International Brand Ambassador.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell is on the receiving end again with Kenyans who are dissatisfied with a video she shared on Instagram showcasing the East African country.

Kenya appointed Naomi as the Magical Kenya International Brand Ambassador due to her large influence oversees and her work with the local community in Malindi.

Naomi shared the video with her over 10 million Instagram followers which had a Nigerian background song.

This irked KOT who called her out for not including Kenyan artists.

The supermodel showcased the different sceneries, local cuisine, white sandy beaches and other attractions which one can enjoy.

KOT was however not pleased with the video and some pointed out that the quality did not do Kenya justice.

Here is Campbell's caption on the video shared on Instagram:

"I feel so privileged and honoured to be confirmed as Magical Kenya International Brand Ambassador. Not just because of the obvious benefits that tourism brings to an economy but also I am proud to be able to represent such an important country as Kenya.

We all know about the astounding areas of natural beauty, the beaches and of course the wildlife but there is much more.

Kenya has a history going back 100 million years and is considered by many to be the cradle of civilisation so I am humbled to be talking about the country.

Of course, the people are the wealth of any nation and it’s no different with Kenya. Its people have excelled in the arts, sciences, political thought and sports just to name a few.

Tourism does of course bring jobs to the local economy, vital for so many small and big entrepreneurs. It helps unleash ideas, creativity, talent and makes for worthwhile and productive lives.

Tourism is vital on many levels and it is my hope that I can play a small part in helping remind the world about Kenya and on a bigger level wouldn’t it be wonderful if Kenya could help inspire the world after this terrible pandemic we have all been through. Reminding us to be grateful for nature's beauty and enduring history of our wonderful planet. #NAOMIAFRICA???????? @magicalkenya ????????????????????????."
