These days, many people in Africa, especially in Nigeria and Kenya, use the term ‘slay queen’ to describe a woman that likes to show off her luxurious lifestyle even if she lives in the poorest neighbourhood and struggles to stay on her feet.
The Internet is full of slay queen images. 21st century is the perfect era for slay queens, as they can use Instagram/Snapchat/Twitter/Facebook/etc. to tell the whole world about the expensive things they do not even own.
You might be surprised, but this type of behaviour is actually not unique to women. Slay kings also exist and behave almost in the same way as slay queens do, with minor adjustments for gender. We will not get too much into the details; it is just so you know that women are not the only ones who engage in this kind of behaviour.
So how can you tell for sure that someone is a slay queen? Continue reading and find out!
Traits of a slay queen
Most of the time, slay queens are quite two-dimensional beings with little to no depth to them. They all look, dress and behave in same ways. This makes it fairly easy to tell them apart from the general population (but not from one another). Here are seven characteristics that can describe a slay queen.
Makeup and style
Your typical slay queen never leaves home without makeup on. She can show up to the corner store in the middle of the night wearing a full face of makeup and, most likely, a pair of high heels. Heels and short tight dresses is what slay queens love most.
However, the fact that slay queens wear makeup all the time does not mean that they are good at it. In real life, a slay queen might not even be able to match the colour of her neck to the shade of her face. Nevertheless, almost all of them are experts at using retouching apps and software.
