By midnight, the event was supposed to be over. But the real story, according to insiders who spoke to VAN Gossip under anonymity, started after the cameras stopped rolling and the official livestream ended.
Several A-list influencers, a handful of musicians, and a surprise guest from South Africa all ended up at a private apartment in Kilimani — and that’s where the viral clips you’ve seen on TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) were filmed.
Voice notes shared with VAN Gossip reveal tension between two rival influencer camps, a heated argument about “stolen brand deals”, and an unexpected reconciliation that nobody saw coming.
While some of the attendees claim “nothing serious happened”, neighbours reported loud music, shouting on the balcony and security cars arriving around 4:30am. Screenshots from group chats suggest that at least one brand is now reconsidering its partnership with a key face from the night.
Here’s a breakdown of who was there, what really happened, and what this could mean for Kenya’s influencer economy going forward.
