Forex trader and TikToker Chuka Kenyan Prince has distanced himself from viral photos circulating online that appeared to show him in Dubai alongside an Indian man.
Speaking during an interview with 2Mbili on Friday, May 1, 2026, the influencer clarified that the images were not authentic, insisting that they were digitally manipulated using artificial intelligence and not reflective of what actually happened during his trip.
He explained that the original photos he shared only featured himself and a female companion he travelled with to Dubai.
He lamented that some individuals altered the images by inserting another man into them, leading to misleading interpretations on social media.
“The thing about the man tucking his hand around my body is something Kenyans fabricated online. If you look at the photos I originally shared, you will see there is no man in them. Those ones circulating with an Indian man are AI-generated,” he stated.
He noted that the viral content began trending shortly after his return to Kenya, saying he was surprised to see his name circulating online in connection with the altered images.
According to him, the manipulation was driven by scepticism from some Kenyans who did not believe he could independently afford and fund his Dubai vacation.
“While I was in Dubai, I only took photos with the lady I travelled with. I came back and started seeing myself trending, only to realise people had edited the pictures,” he clarified.
KP also revealed that he spent over Ksh2.1 million during the trip, describing it as a self-funded holiday experience that he personally planned and executed.
“People did not believe I could afford my own trip, but I spent over Ksh2.1 million on that Dubai vacation,” he added.
He further dismissed online comparisons suggesting that his trip was inspired by or copied from other influencers, insisting that his travel decisions are independent and not influenced by others in the public space.
“It is wrong to say I copied anyone. I don’t copy people. What is circulating online is not real,” he said.
