Well-known Kenyan influencer and actress, Shakila opened a new chapter in her private and intimate life during a recent interview on YouTube.

Known for her disarming frankness, Shakila during a recent interview confided in the number of tattoos adorning her body as well as the deep meaning they hold for her. She revealed that she honors the memory of her ex-boyfriends by immortalizing them as tattoos after their passing.

“I have 19 tattoos in total, 11 of them are of my exes deceased,” she shared, explaining that her first tattoo followed the tragic disappearance of her ex-boyfriend.

Among his permanent marks, his best friend’s face holds a special place in his heart. While Shakila is known for her tumultuous and controversial lifestyle, her tattoos serve as a personal expression and a way to remember important moments in her life. However, she not only talked about her body art, but also touched on her intimate relationships.

The self-proclaimed ‘Queen of the Streets’ surprised many when she revealed she no longer kept track of the number of men she had sex with: I don’t know the number, if I start counting I’ll honestly go crazy, but I honestly can’t remember she replied.
