Kenyan comedian and digital content creator Kennedy Odhiambo, popularly known as Crazy Kennar, shared a lighthearted interaction with Rwanda's President Paul Kagame during the Africa Mindset Reset Forum held in Kigali.

During a press conference at the event, Crazy Kennar requested a selfie with the Rwandan leader, citing a personal motivation. "My father often says content can take people places. I just wanted to show him I met the president of Rwanda," he explained.

President Kagame responded warmly, offering to take two selfies. As Kennar approached, Kagame humorously asked if he was supposed to stand, prompting laughter before the photos were taken.

The Africa Mindset Reset Forum brought together leaders, innovators, and change-makers to discuss strategies for accelerating Africa's development.

It also introduced the concept of "Meta-Africanism," focusing on building systems and creating value beyond traditional Pan-African solidarity.

Crazy Kennar is known for his relatable comedy and viral sketches, including portrayals of African presidents. He also produces Happy Country, a satirical show that blends humor with social commentary. His presence at the forum highlighted the role of creative voices in shaping Africa's narrative and development.
