Kenyan forex trader Raymond Omosa, known as Kenyan Prince, has defended himself after a video of his orange Lamborghini Urus overtaking a line of cars and meeting a Mercedes Actros truck head-on went viral.

The footage shows Prince overtaking a long queue of vehicles on a Kenyan road before meeting an oncoming Mercedes Actros truck. The truck driver swerved sharply to clear a path, allowing the luxury SUV, which costs tens of millions of shillings, to pass safely.

Prince hits back at critics

Kenyan Prince has dismissed suggestions that he came close to a serious crash. He responded to the backlash within hours of the clip going viral.

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

He said modern luxury cars carry advanced safety systems and suggested those criticizing him were uninformed. “This thing is crazy,” he added, in an apparent nod to the vehicle’s performance.

Prince also said his driving record clears him of blame. He claimed that when he has been in accidents, other motorists were usually responsible, typically by rear-ending his car.
