Steve Harvey adopts comedian Elsa Majimbo as his niece.

In a video doing rounds online, Steve Harvey promised to treat comedienne Elsa Majimbo as his niece, guide her, and provide for her needs.

Elsa Majimbo who shot up to fame during the pandemic year has been making headlines constantly since then.

She was crowned African Social Star of the year 2020 by America’s E! People’s Choice Awards. And won entertainer of the year at the Forbes Woman Africa Awards in 2021.

Her achievements always evoke different reactions from different people. For instance, most Kenyans have time again said that they can not relate to her content as they do not find her funny. I bet it’s for that reason she alleged that she has a very bad relationship with Nairobi.

I have a very bad relationship with Nairobi, think I have faced a lot of bullying there. [While growing up], it seemed like everyone in the city was against me. So, I have a home in South Africa, and I am really glad I do. I feel safe there; Kenya is not that place, she said amid tears.

Strangers into family

Sharing pictures of her and former stand-up comedian Steve Harvey, Elsa captioned it An interview that turned strangers into family. I love you, uncle Steve.

She also posted a snippet of the interview particularly the part where Steve declared his uncle-hood.

I’m going to adopt you as my niece. I’m going to give you my phone number, and I don’t care what you need. If you need anything, a place to go, help, some advice or you wanna talk to somebody you call me, Steve Harvey told her.

Also, Steve added that it has been his dream to bridge the gap between African and Africa-America.

I don’t want to let anything happen to you because its been one of my goals to bridge the gap between Africa and African-America. If you have never been, you have to go. You know what I love most about it, it’s the first time in my life in 67 years that I wake up in the morning and I’m not a minority. But Elsa you got an Uncle in me,”
said uncle Steve Harvey.

This comes days after the South African comedienne was spotted in a local club even though she had said that Kenya is a horrible place to live in.
