Kenyan musician Gody Tennor has criticised what he described as an insensitive gesture towards a friend who is mourning the death of his mother.
The Arbantone musician reacted after content creator Thee Pluto reportedly made a lavish gesture towards his friend Prince Seb, who is grieving the loss of his mother.
Tennor shared a video of the incident and questioned whether such displays were appropriate during a period of mourning.
“Some things are beyond disrespect.”

Gody Tennor questions the gesture.
In his caption, Tennor said he was particularly uncomfortable with the decision to buy what he referred to as “Dorime” for a grieving friend, only for the gesture to be used in a way he considered inappropriate.
He also appeared to aim at the forex community, making a distinction between financial knowledge and sensitivity.
“Some of the Forex traders may teach you about liquidity, but clearly not about humanity. Know the difference.”
Tennor is one of the musicians associated with Kenya’s growing Arbantone movement. His music has gained significant attention, with his hit Tiktoker surpassing 10 million YouTube views in 2024.
Thee Pluto reportedly buys club for mourning friend.
Thee Pluto had gifted Club Doremi to Prince Seb.
According to the report, the gesture attracted considerable attention online because Seb was mourning his mother’s death.
The reported gift quickly became a talking point, with social media users questioning whether an extravagant celebration was suitable during a period of grief.
Thee Pluto regrets lavish display amid grief.
The following day, Thee Pluto apologised after facing backlash over a lavish Club Doremi bottle-service ritual involving Prince Seb.
The report described the incident as taking place while Seb was mourning his mother.
The development added another layer to the discussion, particularly around how public figures handle grief when their actions are recorded and shared online.
A wider conversation about grief and public displays
Tennor’s comments have therefore placed the focus beyond the reported financial value of the gesture.
His criticism centred on timing, sensitivity and the way support is offered to someone who has lost a close family member.
For Tennor, the issue was not simply about money or forex trading. His message suggested that financial success should also be accompanied by an understanding of when a person needs quiet support rather than a public display.
