Kenyan-born digital creator and model Achieng Agutu has once again found herself in the company of global music and fashion icon Rihanna, reigniting excitement among fans.
The recent encounter, captured in a video shared on social media and later reposted by popular gossip pages, shows Agutu casually hanging out with the billionaire mogul.

When a fan teasingly asked whether she was in love, her playful response, “Duh, I’m with Rihanna!” perfectly captured the surreal nature of the moment.
The reunion has renewed attention on Agutu’s remarkable journey, which has been anything but ordinary.
Taking to her social media, fans flooded the comments with praise:
“Pleased the Queen remembers you — you WIN!” one follower wrote.
“Iconicccc,” another added.
“Born and made for this,” commented a third.
Born in Kenya and later relocating to the United States for her studies, she rose to prominence after appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2021.
During the emotional interview, Agutu opened up about the sacrifices her parents made to support her education, including taking loans and selling land to finance her studies abroad.
Facing financial strain, she worked up to six jobs to support herself, from admissions counselling and babysitting to cleaning houses, driving Uber, and teaching English to international students.
Her story resonated deeply with audiences, quickly positioning her as a symbol of resilience, ambition, and authenticity.
Since then, Agutu has steadily built an impressive portfolio.
She boasts over 1.9 million social media followers and has become a vocal advocate for body positivity and self-acceptance.
She made history as the first bald Kenyan woman to model for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, is currently the face of SheaMoisture, and co-hosts the Gen-Z talk show The Influence on Amazon Prime.
She also holds an MBA from Hult International Business School.
