Kenyan Prince vs KRA

Kenyan Prince recently set social media abuzz after appearing to draw the attention of the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) following videos in which he showcased bundles of cash online.

The trader, whose real name is Raymond Omosa, had posted clips flaunting large sums of money. KRA’s official social media page later reposted one of the videos, accompanying it with a light-hearted caption in street slang, humorously asking him to share tips on how to make similar earnings.

The playful remark quickly fuelled speculation, with some users suggesting the trader could be under scrutiny from the tax authority, while others interpreted the repost as a subtle warning. The conversation gained momentum partly because Prince has previously faced criticism from sceptics who question the source of his wealth.

It later emerged that the cash seen in the viral video was being used to finalise payment for a new luxury vehicle, adding another high-end car to his already lavish collection.

Kenyan Prince responds to KRA post

Prince addressed the speculation through his TikTok account, posting a video in which he dismissed claims of wrongdoing while unveiling the newly acquired vehicle.

According to him, KRA’s post was purely congratulatory and not an indication of any investigation.

“Guys, I saw that KRA is posting me and my winnings. It was a congratulatory message. People have started saying that I am in hot soup. You cannot understand. If I buy a car, the tax has already been paid for. A registered car in Kenya has already been cleared,” he said.

He maintained that there was nothing irregular about the transaction, emphasising that all necessary taxes are settled before a vehicle is officially registered in the country.

Questions about his relationship status

Beyond the exchange with KRA, Prince has also been clarifying details about his personal life.

In an earlier interview with comedian Dr Ofweneke, he stated that he and his partner, Stephanie Ngunjiri, were legally married “the government way.” Although they had not held a traditional white wedding ceremony, he said they planned to do so in the future when the time felt right.

During that interview, he also admitted he was still learning about his partner and was uncertain whether her affection was for him personally or for his financial status.

“We are enjoying each other”

However, in a later interview with Mpasho, Prince appeared to clarify his earlier remarks, explaining that he and Stephanie were currently cohabiting rather than formally married.

When asked about marriage plans, he suggested that the decision ultimately rests on divine timing.

“That’s God’s plan. I may decide, and maybe God has not… When the right time comes, and God says she is the one, then why not. We are enjoying each other; it is a mutual benefit,” he said.

Prince also shared his perspective on modern relationships, arguing that couples who live together without legal marriage are in what he described as a transactional arrangement.

“You have not married someone officially; that is called come-we-stay. They are probably getting something from you that you are getting from them. You do not know what they are thinking, and they do not know what you are thinking; you do not know each other’s intentions,” he added.
