Serial clout chaser Maureen Imbayi, famously known as Black Cinderella, has finally issued a statement two weeks after she faked her death and tried to solicit kenyans to contribute towards her funeral arrangements.

The upcoming socialite claims that she had been illegally detained in Uganda and that someone had hacked her account and prematurely announced her death.

She also claims that the hacker is the one who was asking for contributions, which is funny considering her family confirmed that she was indeed dead. 

In a message on social media on April 24, the family thanked her followers and well-wishers for their support during this difficult time.

"Dear Friends, supporters, and well-wishers, We want to sincerely thank you for having stood firmly with The Black Cinderella during this challenging time and it is with deepest regrets we wish to inform the public of her demise that occurred in the late hours of Monday 22 April 2024," reads the statement.

"Our beloved daughter was rushed unconscious to the hospital and every effort was made to resuscitate her by a medical team but unfortunately was unsuccessful," reads the statement.

"The family with hospital policy will carry out the necessary procedures to determine the cause of death and we ask that the privacy of The Black Cinderella's Family be respected during this difficult time we hope in the weeks to come we will find an appropriate way to celebrate the life that THE BLACK CINDERELLA had with us, together with the significant contribution she has made to the society," reads the statement.

With the news of her death circulating, the tea master was skeptical of the announcement and called it a bluff; this was later confirmed when videos emerged of the alleged dead Cinderella being kicked out of an apartment she was allegedly sharing with her alleged Nigerian boyfriend in Uganda.

In a turn of events, cinderella claims that the man she was staying with is the one who had kidnapped her and her daughter, allegations which the man has vehemently denied.
