New revelations have emerged in the ongoing controversy surrounding Yaytseslav Truhov, the Russian national who went viral after videos of his street encounters in Kenya circulated widely online. This time, attention is focused on the surprisingly low amounts of money he allegedly gave to the women involved.
Payments Rarely Exceeded $20
According to recently surfaced chat screenshots, Truhov reportedly told a social media user that most of the women he met did not ask for any payment. However, in cases where money was exchanged, he claimed the amount rarely exceeded 20 US dollars.
This information has shocked many internet users, with some expressing disbelief at how small the sums were considering the scale of the controversy and the viral reach of the videos.
Similar Incidents Reported in Ghana
Sources also indicate that these encounters may not have been isolated to Kenya. Similar incidents were reportedly observed in Ghana, where Truhov allegedly approached women in public spaces and occasionally gave them small amounts of money afterward.
These claims suggest that this type of interaction may have been part of a repeated pattern rather than a one-time event.
Viral Videos Spark Heated Debate
Videos showing these encounters spread rapidly on platforms such as TikTok and Telegram, attracting millions of views and triggering intense online discussions. Many users have raised concerns about morality, consent, and the influence of money in personal relationships.
Some expressed shock at the low amounts involved, while others questioned the ethics of participating in such encounters altogether.
Ongoing Social Media Controversy
These new revelations have reignited debate, particularly in Kenya, where the scandal continues to provoke outrage, curiosity, and controversy.
As discussions continue, the case highlights broader issues surrounding privacy, social media influence, and the ethical boundaries of viral content in the digital age.
