In a viral moment that’s melting hearts across social media, Kiredio’s girlfriend, Vee Dollarz, customises car seats in a sweet DIY project that has fans swooning over the couple’s unbreakable bond.
The online content creator, known for his hilarious skits and lifestyle vlogs, shared a heartwarming clip on Instagram showing Vee ditching the plain old ride to revamp the interior, capping it off by etching their names – “Kiredio” and “Vee Dollarz” – right onto the front seats.
“Nothing says forever like a little personal touch,” Kiredio captioned the post, which has already racked up a lot of likes and shares in under 24 hours. The video, a quick 45-second reel set to the smooth beats of a local Afrobeat track, kicks off with Vee hopping out of their sleek black SUV at a bustling auto shop on the outskirts of the city.
Armed with fabric swatches, a staple gun, and a can-do attitude, she dives into the makeover without missing a beat.
“Babe, watch this – we’re turning heads for real now,” she teases Kiredio off-camera, her laughter echoing as she measures and cuts vibrant red leather accents to replace the faded grey upholstery.
By the end, the seats gleam with fresh stitching, and there they are: bold, embroidered names in elegant script, flanked by tiny heart motifs. It’s the kind of upgrade that screams couple goals, blending practicality with that raw, romantic flair Tanzanian youth are all about.
Kiredio, whose real name is Kirabo Edio, has built a loyal following of 500,000 on Instagram through his blend of comedy and couple content.
From pranking Vee in viral challenges to dishing on their long-distance days before she moved to Dar from Arusha, their feed is a goldmine of relatable romance. This car project? It’s no exception.
“Vee’s always been the creative one – she saw our beat-up interior and said, ‘Nah, this project deserves better.'” Kiredio told followers in a follow-up story.
“Writing our names? That’s her way of saying we’re in this ride together, bumps and all.” Fans are eating it up, flooding comments with fire emojis and tips like “Use heat-transfer vinyl next time for that pro look!” or “Y’all need a full car tour series!” But this video isn’t just fluff – it’s a nod to the growing DIY culture exploding in East Africa’s creator scene.
With rising fuel costs and a love for personalisation, young couples like Kiredio and Vee are turning to affordable hacks over pricey dealership tweaks.
Vee Dollarz, a budding fashion influencer, shared her inspo sources: Pinterest boards on “budget car makeovers” and TikTok tutorials from global auto queens.
The couple’s story resonates deeper amid Tanzania’s vibrant youth culture, where social media doubles as a launchpad for dreams. Kiredio first blew up two years ago with a skit roasting bad dates, but it’s these genuine glimpses – like Vee’s surprise birthday grillout or their beachside proposals – that keep viewers hooked.
“In a world of filters, the story feels real,” one commenter noted. As the post climbs algorithms, whispers of brand collabs swirl: could Seat Crafters or local leather pros jump in for a sponsored series? For now, Kiredio and Vee are just cruising, names stitched in, ready for whatever road lies ahead.
