The footage captured Prince overtaking a long queue of vehicles on a Kenyan road, only to find himself face-to-face with an oncoming Mercedes Actros truck.
The truck driver was forced to swerve sharply to clear a path for the luxury SUV, which retails for tens of millions of shillings, to pass through safely.
What did Prince say about the near-miss accident?
Once the clip went viral, Prince wasted no time firing back at critics who claimed he had narrowly escaped a serious accident.

Rather than expressing concern, the forex trader pushed back hard against the reaction online.
"You have never owned a Lambo; you don't know the power it has or its ability to brake. I am the one who posted the video; let me tell the story," he said.
He went further, pointing to the advanced safety technology built into high-end cars like his, suggesting that critics were reacting from a place of ignorance.
"This thing is crazy," he added, seemingly in reference to the vehicle's performance capabilities.
Prince also maintained that his driving record absolved him of blame, claiming that whenever he found himself in accidents, other motorists were typically responsible, usually by rear-ending his car.

Kenyans react
The video drew a wide range of opinions from social media users, with some backing Prince while others were less convinced by his explanation.
@NairobiPlug:
"Hii si mchezo 😂 That truck driver must have seen his life flash before his eyes."
@Wanjiku254:
"Lamborghini or not, barabara si yako peke yako. Safety first."
@MtaaVibes:
"Ati the car can brake? 😂 Hiyo confidence ni ya kiwango ingine."
@Kevin_Otieno:
"The truck driver made the right decision by giving way. Better to be safe than sorry."
Among those who sided with Prince, Teddy FX wrote:
"Am not even a car owner but I understand what you're saying." Okiki Odero offered a sharper counter: "You started driving yesterday. Some of us have done it our whole lives."
The debate highlighted a familiar tension on Kenyan roads between wealthy motorists in high-performance vehicles and other road users, with many commenters reminding Prince that no car's braking system changes the shared nature of public roads.
How fast has Prince drove in his Lamborghini?
TUKO.co.ke also highlighted facts about a video shared by Stephanie Ngunjiri that appears to show Prince driving a Lamborghini Urus at 283 km/h on a Kenyan road.
The clip sparked a wave of reactions, from jokes about the speed to warnings about the danger.
Kenya’s highway speed limit is 110 km/h, making the reading more than twice the legal maximum.
