The 19-year-old appeared in an interview with AB Talks YouTube interview with Anas Bukhash and she gave reasons why she is not planning on living in Kenya.
"I have a bad relationship with Nairobi. People think it is just the internet but people have made it hard for me in Nairobi,'' she said.
According to Majimbo, people picked on her because of her skin colour.
"It did feel like everyone in the city is against me. So most of the time I would stay in the house and mind my own business. Then I went to South Africa where I was supposed to stay for four days, I went and never looked back."
Majimbo said that she found happiness elsewhere and added that she told her manager, she would rather hope from country to country than go back to Nairobi.
"My sister asked me where I would be going when l leave Dubai and said do not know, she told me to go back to Nairobi but after thinking about it, I said that was the worst option for me. I told my sister if I have nowhere else to go, I would rather go back to South Africa,'' she added.
