A Nairobi couple who captured public attention after exchanging vows in the middle of the Central Business District (CBD) have returned to the spotlight following a new online controversy involving popular media personality Oga Obinna.
The couple, known on TikTok as the Expensive Couple, became an internet talking point after choosing an unconventional location for their wedding. Their latest appearance in a circulating social media video has now drawn attention for a different reason: a public appeal by the husband asking Obinna to keep his distance from his wife.
The allegations have sparked discussion among social media users, with some expressing support for the husband while others have questioned the circumstances surrounding the claims.
However, the allegations have not been independently verified, and the motives behind the alleged interactions remain unclear.
From a viral CBD wedding to another online controversy
The couple first attracted widespread attention after holding their wedding at the Kenya National Archives in Nairobi’s busy CBD.
According to a report published by The Star on October 4, 2026, the couple, identified as Abigael and Kiragu, exchanged vows in front of curious members of the public who had gathered to watch the unusual ceremony.
Instead of a conventional wedding venue, the busy streets became the backdrop for their celebration. Passers-by, shoppers and other onlookers stopped to watch as the couple marked their special day.
The event generated mixed reactions. Some Kenyans praised the couple for choosing an unconventional way to celebrate their union, while others questioned aspects of the ceremony.
Their decision nevertheless made them recognisable on social media, where videos and discussions about the wedding continued to circulate.
The couple’s latest appearance has brought them back into public discussion, although the focus has shifted from their wedding to claims involving their relationship and Oga Obinna.
Husband publicly addresses Oga Obinna
In a video reported to be circulating on TikTok and Facebook, the husband is seen standing alongside his wife while delivering a message directed at Obinna.
According to reports describing the footage, the husband says he respects the media personality but believes a boundary has been crossed. He alleges that Obinna has been texting and calling his wife and showing interest in her.
The husband reportedly asks Obinna to stop the alleged contact, emphasising that the woman is married and that he wants peace in his relationship.
His message has attracted attention partly because the couple had only recently become widely known through their unconventional wedding.
The public nature of the complaint has also encouraged online users to debate whether relationship disagreements should be addressed publicly or handled privately.
It is important to note, however, that the allegations originate from the couple’s account. The reports reviewed do not independently establish the nature or content of the alleged communications.
The wife’s response adds another dimension
The wife also reportedly speaks in the video, supporting her husband’s appeal and stating that she is happily married.
Her remarks appear intended to make her position clear and discourage misunderstandings about the couple’s relationship.
Nevertheless, the available reporting does not provide independently verified details about the alleged exchanges, including their frequency, context or whether the parties involved understood them in the same way.
Without that information, it would be premature to draw firm conclusions about what happened or why.
Neither the existence of a circulating video nor the attention it attracts automatically establishes every allegation made within it.
Social media reactions remain divided
The controversy has prompted different reactions from online users.
Some commenters have supported the husband’s decision to speak publicly, arguing that married couples should be able to establish boundaries around their relationships.
Others have treated the dispute as entertainment, while some have questioned whether the public confrontation is necessary.
There have also been suggestions that the situation could be an attempt to attract attention. Such suggestions remain speculation, however, and there is no verified evidence establishing that the couple staged the controversy for publicity.
The discussion illustrates how quickly a personal disagreement can become a public debate when the people involved have gained online recognition.
For a couple whose wedding was already widely discussed, renewed attention can bring both visibility and unwanted scrutiny.
Oga Obinna’s position remains important
Obinna is a familiar figure in Kenya’s entertainment and digital media scene, known for his comedy, interviews and online interactions.
His public profile means that allegations involving him can quickly generate considerable engagement. But public recognition should not be confused with proof that an allegation is true.
In the reports reviewed for this article, an independently verified response from Obinna addressing the couple’s specific claims was not available.
His response, if made, would be relevant to understanding the dispute more fully. Until then, the allegations should remain attributed to the people who made them rather than presented as established facts.
A reminder about viral fame and private relationships
The latest controversy also raises a broader question about the relationship between online popularity and privacy.
When people become known through viral videos, their subsequent activities may attract attention far beyond their immediate circles. A wedding, family disagreement or personal statement can quickly become material for public debate.
That visibility can help content creators build an audience, but it can also make it harder to resolve personal issues away from public scrutiny.
In this case, the couple’s wedding was a public celebration, while the latest claims concern alleged interactions within their personal relationship. The distinction matters because public curiosity does not remove the need for accuracy, fairness and respect for privacy.
For now, the Expensive Couple are back in the spotlight, with their appeal to Oga Obinna driving a fresh wave of discussion. Whether further statements will clarify the allegations remains to be seen.
Until more verifiable information emerges, readers should distinguish between what the couple has alleged, what the circulating video reportedly shows and what has actually been independently established.
