aA controversial statement by self-proclaimed Forex trader Kenyan Prince has sparked outrage across social media after he suggested that anyone earning less than KSh 50,000 per month “might as well die” because they have “no future.”
The remark, made during a live-streamed motivational talk, was met with immediate backlash from Kenyans who accused him of being insensitive to the struggles of ordinary citizens facing tough economic realities.
Kenyan Prince, who is known for flaunting a luxurious lifestyle online, argued that low income earners should focus on aggressively building wealth and refuse to settle for “poverty wages.”
However, critics have condemned the statement as reckless, claiming it promotes hopelessness rather than offering practical solutions to financial challenges.
Civil society groups and mental health advocates have also weighed in, warning that such messaging could negatively impact vulnerable individuals already struggling with unemployment and rising living costs.
They have called on influencers and financial coaches to use their platforms responsibly and encourage constructive dialogue.
Despite the backlash, Kenyan Prince has remained unapologetic, insisting that his words were meant to “shock” people into pursuing financial independence.
The debate continues to trend, with many demanding accountability for harmful public statements.
