Influencer Mimo Karanja sparks controversy by celebrating her 30th birthday with a "funeral" for her 20s, featuring a coffin and pallbearers in a viral stunt.

In a move that has split the internet down the middle, content creator Mimo Karanja celebrated her 30th birthday not with cake and candles, but with a coffin and pallbearers.
The travel and beauty influencer staged a "funeral" for her twenties, complete with a black veil, a hearse, and men in suits carrying a casket. The macabre photoshoot has gone viral, sparking a heated debate on creativity versus cultural sensitivity.
Mimo defended the concept as a symbolic "burial" of the past—the mistakes, the struggles, and the naivety of youth—to be reborn into a wiser, bolder decade. "I am burying the old me to give birth to the woman I am becoming," she posted.
Mimo isn't the first to pull this stunt, but she did it with a uniquely Kenyan flair. As influencers push boundaries to stand out, the line between celebration and controversy continues to blur. Happy Birthday... and RIP to the 20s.
