Influencer apologises after ‘disrespectful’ dance in Vanuatu | The Pacific | ABC News
Kenyan social media influencer Diana Daisy Gau who boasts over a million followers has apologised following a trip to Vanuatu which has sparked heated debate online.
Diana shared videos of her dancing at cultural sites during a sponsored visit, angering many Ni-Vanuatu who called her actions disrespectful to their culture.
The influencer has since deleted the post and apologised, but the backlash has reignited questions about cultural sensitivity, tourism, and who profits from Pacific storytelling.
