RHOA's Kenya Moore Disputes Claims of Hair Spa Owing $44K Rent

RHOA's Kenya Moore Disputes Claims of Hair Spa Owing $44K Rent

Yahoo5 days ago
Once again, Kenya Moore's hair spa is grabbing headlines for all of the wrong reasons. On The Real Housewives of Atlanta, the grand opening for the business went off the rails. That's where Kenya unveiled poster boards showing suggestive images of her castmate, Brit Eady.
Since then, rumors have been floating around social media that the business never fully opened for clients. Now, a new report suggests that Kenya has been quietly battling with her landlord over unpaid rent.
Kenya Moore Hair Spa is accused of owing $44k in rent
In court documents reviewed by Us Weekly, Kenya Moore Hair Spa's landlord accused the former RHOA star of owing $44K in rent and other charges. Her rent at this location is a whopping $4,379.48 per month. According to the landlord, she didn't pay from December 2024 to April 2024. He also tacked on an additional $5,909 in operating expenses, taxes, and other fees
From there, the complaint requested $148 per day from Kenya until she vacated the premises. That's how the bill has racked up to this enormous figure.
Last month, Kenya's legal team filed a counterclaim against the landlord and denied owing all of this money. They accused the landlord of failing to pay for improvements and violating their contract. Allegedly, Kenya had to use her own funds to 'maintain, repair, rehabilitate and improve' the property. She said those steps were necessary to make it 'usable and able to be occupied for its intended use.'
Kenya's legal team submitted the lease agreement as evidence. Those docs showed that the landlord agreed that the property could be used for RHOA. That begs the question of whether Kenya paid to remodel the spa so that it could be used for television. Either way, Kenya's spokesperson made it clear that she invested a life-changing amount of cash into this endeavor.
'Kenya Moore entered a commercial lease and invested over $300,000 to build out her luxury hair spa. The landlord agreed in writing to reimburse Moore approximately $80,000 for tenant improvements but failed to make payment,' Kenya's spokesperson told the outlet.
The statement concluded, 'As a result of the landlord's filing, Moore filed a countersuit. Despite the legal action, Moore remains hopeful the landlord will act in good faith and resolve the matter fairly and amicably.'
The Real Housewives of Atlanta is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

AI in Africa to Top $16.5B by 2030: Mastercard Explores Path for Continued Digital Transformation

Key insights from Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria and Morocco demonstrate AI's potential to drive financial inclusion, job creation and innovation. Up to 230 million digital jobs projected in Sub-Saharan Africa by 2030 – but infrastructure, regulation and local talent remain critical gaps. NAIROBI, Kenya, August 06, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mastercard has today released its latest whitepaper, Harnessing the transformative power of AI in Africa, a pan-African study of the continent's readiness, opportunity and roadmap for responsible artificial intelligence (AI) adoption. The whitepaper provides detailed insights into how AI—if deployed responsibly and inclusively—can unlock transformative outcomes across the continent's major industries, including agriculture, healthcare, education, energy and finance. With Africa's AI market projected to grow from USD 4.5 billion in 2025 to USD 16.5 billion by 2030 according to a recent report from Statista, the paper presents a clear case for multi-stakeholder collaboration and investment. It highlights how Africa's unique demographics, mobile-first infrastructure and entrepreneurial spirit position it as an active architect of the future. Mark Elliott, division president, Africa at Mastercard, commented: "Africa's engagement with AI is already reshaping lives — not just in labs, but in farms, clinics and classrooms. To unlock its full potential, we need investment in infrastructure, data, talent, and policy. At Mastercard, we believe responsible, locally rooted AI can drive inclusive growth and connect more people to opportunity." The whitepaper outlines the potential positive impact of AI on digital infrastructure, policy and governance, research and development, local language processing and investment into Africa. It also explores how AI can accelerate job creation, with up to 230 million digital jobs projected by 2030, and increase access to formal finance through AI-enabled credit scoring and fraud prevention. Greg Ulrich, chief AI and data officer, Mastercard, said: "AI is only as powerful as the trust behind it. At Mastercard, we're committed to building AI that's responsible, inclusive, and built to bring value to our customers, partners and employees. This isn't just innovation—it's innovation with integrity." Regional highlights covered in the whitepaper include: South Africa: South Africa attracted USD 610 million in AI-focused venture capital in 2023, with total AI investment expected to reach USD 3.7 billion by 2030. With the highest data and infrastructure readiness in Africa, the country is solidifying its role as a continental leader in AI research and application. It is home to the Artificial Intelligence Institute of South Africa which serves as a gateway for students and professionals to access world-class education, research and industry news. National plans aim to develop up to 300 AI start-ups and train 5,000 AI professionals by 2030, creating the foundation for a vibrant, homegrown AI ecosystem. Kenya: An emerging leader in AI innovation, Kenya has leveraged its "Silicon Savannah" status to securely deploy AI across sectors. Platforms like Tala use mobile data for credit scoring, while Jacaranda Health's UlizaLlama, an AI-powered chatbot, provides maternal health support in five local languages. The newly launched National AI Strategy (2025–2030) outlines the government's commitment to positioning Kenya as a regional leader in AI research and development, innovation and commercialization for socioeconomic development. Nigeria: Nigeria ranks second in the number of AI startups in Africa and secured USD 218 million in VC investment in 2023. As one of Africa's most dynamic AI ecosystems, Nigeria is using AI to personalize learning (Rising Academies), deliver microfinance via and strengthen governance with AI tools that monitor public fund allocation. With a $1.4 billion projected AI market size by 2025, the government's proactive approach, combined with growing private-sector innovation, suggests promising growth in AI applications. Morocco: An emerging AI hub in North Africa, Morocco is advancing AI adoption across healthcare, energy, agriculture, and finance. Institutions such as Mohammed VI Polytechnic University and DeepEcho are driving local innovation, while the MoroccoAI Annual Conference is shaping national dialogue on the future of AI. Under its Digital 2030 strategy, Morocco aims to attract USD 1.1 billion in investment and create 240,000 digital jobs by 2030. Despite this progress, the whitepaper warns that data fragmentation, language exclusion and regulatory inconsistency could deepen the digital divide. Harnessing the potential of AI in Africa will be instrumental in accelerating financial inclusion and driving the continent's digital and economic growth. Strategic collaborations between governments, fintechs, and global partners will be key to unlocking AI's full impact. Mastercard's whitepaper draws on insights from leading African technologists, policymakers, academics and entrepreneurs, including interviews with UNESCO, the African Center for Economic Transformation, and fintech leaders across the region.

Climate insurtech company Previsico gets investment from BlueOrchard-managed PE fund

UK-based flood forecasting platform Previsico has secured a 'growth investment' from InsuResilience Investment Fund Private Equity II (IIF II), managed by BlueOrchard Finance. This is part of a new financing round, in which Burnt Island Ventures and other existing shareholders also took part. BlueOrchard private equity investment director Richard Hardy said: 'Part of our role in expanding climate insurance across emerging markets is to ensure these regions gain access to world-leading climate technologies. 'Previsico is an excellent example of such innovation and a strategic addition to our portfolio. We look forward to working with Jonathan and his team to help extend their platform on a global scale.' The technology developed by Previsico combines various data sources such as sensor readings, satellite imagery and meteorological data to provide flood warnings with a lead time of up to 48 hours. The service targets insurance companies, utility providers, property owners and governmental bodies to mitigate flood-related risks. The insurtech company has an established presence in the UK and has undertaken projects in the US, Kenya and Italy to validate its technology. It plans to expand its presence in 'high-growth emerging markets' with 'most acute' protection gaps, leveraging the backing of IIF II. With the additional capital from Burnt Island Ventures, Previsico is looking to expedite its growth in the US market. Previsico CEO Jonathan Jackson stated: 'With a shared commitment to addressing the challenges of climate change, BlueOrchard brings valuable expertise and connections, particularly in emerging markets, which will empower us to expand our efforts in predicting and preventing flood impacts to generate lasting positive impact for communities, businesses and the environment.' Earlier this year, Previsico partnered with parametric insurer Descartes to refine corporate flood risk insurance for businesses in the UK and Ireland.
