Self-proclaimed forex trader and internet personality Onyango Tate has refused to fold despite exposure over his faked forex lifestyle. Through a series of videos shared on his social media networks, Tate continues to prove that he’s living a luxury lifestyle envied by many amid backlash from netizens. His online presence has sparked controversy, with many questioning the authenticity of his claims.
Trouble started after his cameraman went viral after being caught milling flour and buying a quarter kilogram of sugar and mandazis popularly known as “Kamgumu” despite his larger-than-life persona on social media. This incident has raised eyebrows, with many wondering how Tate can afford a luxurious lifestyle while his cameraman struggles to make ends meet. The contrast between Tate's online persona and his cameraman's daily struggles has sparked widespread debate.
According to sources, Tate lives in a bedsitter in Rongai with his brother and cameraman, contrary to his claims of owning a palatial home. He retreats to this humble abode in the cover of darkness, far from the luxurious lifestyle he showcases online. This revelation has led to accusations that Tate is deceiving his followers and using his online presence to lure unsuspecting clients into forex scams.
Additionally, the source noted that Tate works as a forex influencer, where he’s offered access to multi-million-dollar mansions and luxury vehicles to promote his services. However, hawk-eyed netizens have gone back into his previous videos, pointing out inconsistencies such as his encounter with popular streamer Vindee, where he refused to demonstrate his alleged forex skills citing burnout.
The public has turned on Tate, with his “Brokie” tagline, which loosely translates to “Broke,” being used against him. Many have expressed their disappointment and frustration with Tate's deception, calling on him to be more honest with his followers. The backlash has been severe, with some even questioning his cameraman's involvement in his online ventures.
Onyango Tate was pursuing a Bachelor of Education (Arts) degree, majoring in literature, before he gained notoriety on social media bashing education. His shift in focus from education to forex trading has raised questions about his motivations and the legitimacy of his online presence. Recently, DCI Kenya issued a warning over forex scammers luring Kenyans through their alleged flashy lifestyles.
As the controversy surrounding Tate continues to grow, his followers are left to wonder about the authenticity of his online presence. With many calling for him to come clean about his lifestyle, Tate's future as a forex influencer remains uncertain. The incident serves as a reminder to be cautious when following online personalities and to verify the accuracy of their claims.
