The gift itself was not the only attention-grabbing element of Sonko's birthday celebrations. His social media post received an outpouring of comments from his fans and well-wishers, with many offering birthday greetings and playful remarks.

Some of the comments poked fun at Sonko’s notorious “luxurious lifestyle,” with remarks like “Amefunga na bado anashika kamnyeswo” (He’s fasting but still holding the drink) and “Sherehe itakua wapi?” (Where is the party?). Others simply wished him well, celebrating the man they see as a beloved public figure. His followers were quick to join in the fun, making the post a lively and engaging event.

Among the heartfelt tributes was a beautiful message from Sonko’s firstborn daughter, Saumu Mbuvi, who shared her admiration for her father on her own Instagram.
