James Maina Mwangi, a tailor in Nairobi, is famous for his huge wardrobe. 

In 2018 he told the BBC “I am the smartest man, I think in Africa” – with 160 suits, at least 300 caps and 200 pairs of shoes.

To be like him, Mwangi says “you must ask God for three things: taste, choice and wisdom”.

This weekend on Twitter he was up against a powerful competitor – Rihanna.
