KRG the Don is trending once again—and this time, it’s not about flashy cars or big parties. The flamboyant Kenyan artist was recently spotted selling charcoal on the streets, leaving fans confused and shocked. A video of him in a vest and jeans, actively engaging in the charcoal business, quickly made rounds on social media.

Many couldn’t believe it. Was KRG the Don really broke? Had his millionaire lifestyle come to an end? Or was this just another clever move from Kenya’s king of controversy?
Let’s break down the full story behind the viral charcoal moment.
His Sudden Shift from Luxury to Hustle
KRG the Don is known for his loud lifestyle. He drives expensive cars, wears designer clothes, and claims to own multiple businesses. So, seeing him selling charcoal in a market setting felt out of place.
In the viral video, he is seen standing next to charcoal sacks. He’s talking with locals, loading bags, and even negotiating prices like a true hustler. People around him are recording with surprise and laughter.
Of course, this sparked serious reactions online.
Social Media Explodes with Reactions
Fans were quick to share their thoughts. Some believed it was a publicity stunt. Others thought he was broke. And many admired his hustle, saying he was setting a good example.
One Instagram user commented, “This is either a music video or KRG the Don is the biggest liar in Nairobi.” Another fan wrote, “I love that he’s not ashamed to work. Money is money!”
This mix of support, confusion, and criticism only made the video go more viral.
Is KRG the Don Broke?
Let’s be honest—KRG the Don has always claimed he’s rich. He once said he could retire at 30 and still live large. So, people naturally wondered if something had gone wrong.
Could it be that the economy had hit him too? Or had his music career slowed down?
Still, there’s no official sign that he’s broke. KRG the Don continues to post flashy photos online. He still rocks designer brands and expensive watches.
It seems unlikely that he’s facing financial issues. That leads many to believe that the charcoal moment was all planned.
A Music Video in the Making?
This isn’t the first time celebrities have done stunts for content. Artists like Bahati and Willy Paul have pulled similar moves.
Fans believe this could be a promo for a new song. Maybe KRG the Don is trying to send a message about hard work. Or maybe he’s just keeping people talking, as he always does.
On Instagram, some users claimed they heard a song playing in the background of the charcoal video. That could be a big clue that this is all part of a music video shoot.
KRG the Don’s Response
So far, KRG the Don hasn’t given a clear answer. He has not confirmed or denied anything about the charcoal incident. But he has shared the video on his Instagram story, adding fire emojis and laughing faces.
That alone tells us one thing—he’s enjoying the attention.
KRG the Don knows how to trend. He knows how to keep his name in the headlines. And this latest move proves he’s still the king of clout.
From Music to Business – The Hustler Life
Whether the charcoal moment was real or fake, it highlighted one thing: KRG the Don supports hustle.
In past interviews, KRG has said he believes in working hard. He often talks about his business ventures outside of music. According to him, music is just one of his many income streams.
If anything, the charcoal scene may have been his way of saying, “It’s okay to work hard, no matter the job.”
Publicity Genius or Just a Joke?

This charcoal stunt may be funny to some and serious to others. But either way, it worked. Everyone is now talking about KRG the Don again.
He has reminded people that he’s still around, still unpredictable, and still the king of drama.
