A video shared by controversial forex trader Kenyan Prince has stirred fresh debate online after it showed him driving at high speed along Thika Road while navigating through heavy traffic.
In the clip, which has since gone viral, he is seen weaving between vehicles, switching lanes quickly and overtaking motorists in very tight spaces. The driving appears deliberate, as he seems to demonstrate confidence and control despite the congestion on one of Nairobi’s busiest highways.
The footage has drawn mixed reactions from Kenyans across social media. A section of users strongly criticized the behavior, describing it as reckless and unsafe. Many warned that such actions could easily lead to serious accidents, especially on a road known for heavy traffic and frequent incidents.
Some people came to his defense, arguing that the video may have been misunderstood. They suggested that experienced drivers can sometimes appear aggressive when maneuvering through traffic. A few supporters even praised his confidence behind the wheel, though they still called for caution when using public roads.
Road safety advocates have also joined the conversation, stressing that speeding and dangerous overtaking remain among the leading causes of road accidents in Kenya. They warned that content shared online should not normalize risky behavior, especially when it can influence a large audience.
Kenyan Prince, who has built a strong following through forex trading content and lifestyle posts, has often found himself at the center of online discussions. This latest incident has once again raised questions about the responsibility that comes with influence, particularly when real-life actions are shared widely.
Authorities have repeatedly urged motorists to follow traffic rules and prioritize safety.
