There’s a whole world of relationships where loyalty is optional, love comes with a price tag, and family ties are a bit more… elastic.
And as for LB Maasai’s saga? It’s just a glimpse of a larger, unspoken reality. It’s not just about broken hearts and betrayal—it’s about navigating the blurred lines of culture, modernity, and personal choices in a world where the rules keep changing.
