Internet Frenzy as Kenyan Teen Seeks Ugandan Star Tenge, Sparks Calls for DNA Test

A 16-year-old Kenyan teenager has sparked intense online discussions after travelling from Kisumu to Nairobi in pursuit of Ugandan content creator Kabonge Michael, widely known as Tenge.

The teenager, known on social media as Kenyan Tenge, left many astonished—including Nairobi’s chief environment officer, Geoffrey Mosiria—due to his striking resemblance to the Ugandan star.

Mosiria revealed that the teenager arrived at his office stranded, unable to afford transport home after his unsuccessful attempt to meet Tenge.

Inspired by the influencer’s rapid rise in digital marketing, including major deals in Dubai, the young man was determined to connect with his lookalike.

Despite seeking assistance from a well-known Kenyan comedian, he was denied access, further fueling online debate.

The resemblance was so uncanny that Mosiria initially thought he had met Tenge himself.

Now, the teenager hopes to take a DNA test, convinced there may be a biological link between them.

His story has since gone viral, with social media users debating whether the two could be long-lost relatives.

According to Tuko.co.ke, Mosiria has called on the public to assist the teen—whether through transport, mentorship or opportunities in content creation.

He also shed light on the struggles young creatives face in gaining visibility, particularly when they are not yet recognized names in the industry.

Despite setbacks, the teenager remains optimistic about his future in digital content creation.

Mosiria urges those willing to support him to reach out at 0116 291 251.

The unfolding story continues to captivate audiences online, sparking curiosity about whether fate or family ties connect the two lookalikes.
