Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has taken the internet by storm after attending a grand double wedding in Tanzania, where he stole the spotlight with a dramatic display of wealth.
A video shared online shows Sonko throwing large wads of cash into the crowd, leaving guests in awe and sparking a frenzy on social media.
Dressed in gold and surrounded by bodyguards, Sonko danced with the newlyweds and guests while casually splashing money into the air.
The lavish ceremony, attended by Tanzanian celebrities and influencers, turned into a spectacle the moment Sonko arrived. One guest could be heard shouting, “What is money?” — a phrase that has now gone viral alongside the footage.
Tanzanian social media users praised Sonko’s generosity and flamboyance, while others questioned the motive behind his extravagant display.
Back in Kenya, the video stirred debate, with some calling it a PR stunt and others defending it as a celebration of African generosity.
This is not the first time Sonko has made headlines for his flashy lifestyle and public acts of charity.
As the video continues to trend, his presence at the wedding has added a bold, unexpected twist to what was already a high-profile event.
