Initially working as a house nanny, Chokuu claims he was drawn to the lifestyle after witnessing the financial opportunities available within the gay community in Germany. In a series of live broadcasts on TikTok, Chokuu stated that he earns substantial amounts of money through brief encounters with men, citing a figure of Ksh. 130,000 for a short period.

Capitalizing on his earnings, Chokuu recently underwent breast augmentation surgery, a procedure he openly discussed with his followers. He announced the surgery’s success and revealed that it cost him Ksh. 938,000. “I am very happy and I am becoming the woman that many men want,” Chokuu declared in one of his live streams. He further stated that he intends to raise his rates for sexual encounters with white men following the surgery.

Chokuu’s story has ignited a firestorm of reactions. While some have condemned his choices, citing religious and cultural values, others have expressed cautious support, acknowledging his right to self-determination and highlighting the potential economic hardships faced by young migrants.

“My parents were so proud when I left,” Chokuu admitted in one of his videos. “I hope they can understand that I am doing what I need to do to survive and thrive in this new country.”

The controversy surrounding Chokuu’s journey highlights the complex issues surrounding migration, cultural shifts, and the pursuit of economic opportunity, particularly within marginalized communities. It also raises questions about the perception of LGBTQ+ individuals and their perceived financial gains in Western societies.
