One wrote: “That’s just because you are cuter than they are.”
A second person added: “Distracting I would say.”
Another commented: “More than likely can’t concentrate.”
Meanwhile, a fourth penned: “Intimidated!? why?”
In other videos, Kiki has revealed some of the difficulties she faces being a female in a predominantly male industry.
She said: “Blue collard women rules.”
Kiki noted that you have to work twice as hard as the men do and not to take jokes seriously or you won’t survive.
