Renowned YouTuber Ibrahim Onami asserts that Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) restaurants primarily attract the homeless, financially challenged individuals, and those colloquially known as "Machokosh."
Onami, a Kenyan content creator residing in the US, has debunked the enthusiasm surrounding KFC outlets in Kenya. In a YouTube video, Onami shared that during his recent visit to Kenya, he found amusement in his friends' suggestion of visiting the popular restaurant.

Onami subtly suggested to his friends that the excitement surrounding KFC in Kenya is in stark contrast to the reputation it holds in the United States.
“In America, KFC is for poor people, it is meant for the homeless or the broke. Or in Kenya, you can call them chokosh,” he said
To illustrate his claims, Onami recorded a video during his time in the US, where he visited one of the KFC outlets. In alignment with his assertions, the restaurant seemed quiet and unoccupied. There were no customers seated, and the parking lot only accommodated two cars.
“You can see there are no customers and the parking lot is almost unoccupied,” he says.
Subsequently, Onami proceeded to order a chicken sandwich accompanied by French fries, and for this meal, he paid only 8 dollars.
In another video, Onami shed light on the struggles faced by homeless individuals in Minneapolis during winter.
To vividly depict the dire situation, Onami recorded scenes where people had their small tents covered in snow. He successfully conducted an interview with a lady named Alexa.
She expressed a desperate need for improved shelter, food, and a sleeping bag. Onami took the initiative to visit a nearby restaurant, where he brought her coffee with doughnuts. He also made a promise to find a sleeping bag for her.
Previously, the content creator disclosed that he was earning up to $70 (equivalent to Ksh 10,710 at current rates) per hour by cremating bodies in the US. However, he decided to quit the job after working for just one day.
