Young Stunna has once again captured attention on social media, but this time, it is not due to a hit song or an impressive performance. Instead, a clip featuring the amapiano artist has gone viral, eliciting a mix of praise and criticism. A popular entertainment blogger circulated a brief video showing the star with thick bundles of cash held to his ear, prompting a swift reaction online.
In the 19-second video shared on X, the 27-year-old artist is seen smiling broadly, his gold grill sparkling as he holds the stacks of money to his ear as if using a phone. The cash, wrapped in bank sleeves, appeared to consist mainly of R100 notes, leading social media users to estimate the total to be well over R100,000. Shot in what appears to be a private setting, the clip showcases Young Stunna’s characteristic lively spirit, with his laughter noticeable amid soft background noise.
While some supporters commended the artist for enjoying the fruits of his labor, others expressed concern. Numerous commenters highlighted the dangers of publicly displaying large amounts of cash, pointing out the potential for attracting unwanted attention. One commenter quipped, “SARS is watching,” while another added, “He must be careful—this kind of flex can bring problems.”
This viral moment arises at a time when Young Stunna has been reducing his public performances due to health issues, prompting worries from fans. His lively demeanor in the video provided reassurance to many longtime followers, who filled the comment section with expressions like “We’re glad he’s okay” and “Stunna is back outside.”
Nevertheless, the ostentatious display has sparked discussions about celebrity culture and the trend of flaunting wealth online. Some defenders argued that such displays are intrinsic to hip-hop and amapiano’s celebratory culture, while critics called for more caution, especially in light of the increasing incidences of targeted robberies involving public figures.
Despite the varying perspectives, the video has certainly kept Young Stunna at the forefront of public interest. With the festive December season approaching and fans eager for his return to performing, the amapiano sensation remains one of South Africa’s most discussed artists—whether through new music or showcasing his money.
