Forex Trader ‘Kenyan Prince’ Defends Reckless Overtaking After Near-Miss With Truck

Popular forex trader and content creator Raymond Omosa, widely known as Kenyan Prince, has sparked intense debate online after defending a dangerous highway maneuver involving his high-end SUV.

The Incident

Viral footage shared across social media captures the multimillion-shilling luxury SUV overtaking a long queue of static vehicles on a two-lane Kenyan road. Upon accelerating down the opposing lane, the vehicle came face-to-face with an oncoming Mercedes Actros heavy-duty commercial truck.

To avoid a head-on collision, the truck driver executed a sudden emergency evasion, swerving off the main carriageway to open up a path for the SUV.

The Response & Public Outrage

Rather than acknowledging the close call, Kenyan Prince fired back at critics online, attributing the incident to public misunderstanding of high-performance vehicles:

“You have never owned a Lambo; you don’t know the power it has or its ability to brake. I am the one who posted the video; let me tell the story.”

He added that critics were reacting from a place of ignorance regarding advanced automotive safety engineering and braking systems.

Public Reaction

• Outrage over Road Safety: Many road users commended the quick reflexes of the truck driver while criticizing the trader for placing public road users at risk regardless of vehicle mechanics.

• Debate on Accountability: Commenters pointed out that high-performance braking technology does not override standard traffic rules, distance judgment, or basic highway safety compliance.
