Naomi Campbell is currently in the spotlight due to a feud with social media influencer Elsa Majimbo. Majimbo recently opened up about feeling blackballed by the supermodel in Hollywood.

The feud apparently began after a pleasant encounter between Majimbo and Campbell in December 2020, when Campbell visited Nairobi for leisure. Majimbo expressed her excitement at meeting Campbell, who invited her to join her in Malindi for a vacation.

During their time together, Campbell reportedly suggested the idea of shooting a documentary about Majimbo's journey to America to pursue opportunities in Hollywood. However, tensions arose when Majimbo premiered a documentary about her experiences with colorism and discrimination in Kenya without informing Campbell about their earlier encounter.

Majimbo recounted a phone call from Campbell expressing outrage over not being informed about the documentary. Despite attempting to explain herself, Majimbo claimed that Campbell became increasingly hostile, ultimately cutting off communication.

Feeling ostracized in the industry, Majimbo admitted to struggling with the situation, resorting to excessive drinking to cope with the stress. It wasn't until a chance encounter with fashion icon Edward Enninful, the first male and black editor of British Vogue, that Majimbo realized the gravity of her situation and sought to rectify it.

Since then, Majimbo has tried to reconcile with Campbell, thanking her for the initial opportunities provided in the industry. However, their relationship remains strained, neither friends nor foes.

In Majimbo's words:

“I’m not going to speak on that but I will say that Naomi did give me a lot of credibility especially when I first came to Hollywood. She made me feel special she did a lot of things for me so I wouldn’t say she made me but she did play a big role in a lot of the things.”

Adding, “We’re not friends we’re not enemies were not anything.”

As of press time, Naomi Campbell is yet to comment on the allegations in the now-viral video clip.
