The Kenyan woman named Rosa found dead in Roysambu has caused ripples throughout Nairobi, with unconfirmed reports linking her to the Russian man whose hookup videos have dominated social media for weeks.
Social media lit up this morning with claims that a young woman, said to have been one of the many who met Yaytseslav Trahov during his time in Kenya, was discovered lifeless in her apartment. Details are still patchy, but those posting online say she had gone for an HIV test recently and received a positive result.
Currently, there is a suggestion that the Russian visitor might have a connection to her situation. Some wilder posts even claim he might have passed the virus to over a thousand women across his stops in Kenya, Ghana, and South Africa.
Police haven’t confirmed any of this yet. Officers in Roysambu are investigating a death in the area, but no official statement ties it directly to the viral scandal. Still, the rumours spread like fire on WhatsApp groups, Telegram, X, and TikTok.
This comes on the heels of the massive backlash against Yaytseslav, whose real name is Vyacheslav Trahov. The guy rolled through East Africa filming himself approaching women in malls, on streets, and even at beaches. Most clips showed quick chats followed by invites back to his hotel.
The hidden camera in his sunglasses caught it all, and paid channels on Telegram made bank from the full versions. When it all blew up in Ghana, the videos from Kenya started resurfacing too – Mombasa, Nairobi, the coast. Now this tragic twist has everyone asking the same question: was there more going on than just the filming?
Health experts have been warning about risks from casual encounters like these, especially without protection. In the videos that leaked, some showed no mention of condoms or tests.
Doctors in Nairobi say clinics are seeing a spike in people coming in for check-ups since the story broke. One nurse at a city hospital told a local radio station they had women in tears, worried about past hookups with strangers.
The alleged death has hit hard in Roysambu, a busy middle-class area full of young professionals and students. Neighbours described the woman as quiet, always heading out early for work.
No one saw anything suspicious until this morning when someone noticed her door open and called for help. Paramedics arrived, but it was too late. If the HIV link holds up, it would add a dark layer to an already messy story.
Yaytseslav himself has gone quiet and back to his country. His accounts got scrubbed after the initial outrage, and he slipped out of Ghana before things got too hot. In older clips from Kenya, he comes across as confident, chatting in broken English and English with that thick accent.
Women in the videos often seem relaxed at first, laughing at his lines. But now, with this news, those same moments look different – riskier, more calculated.
Online reactions are all over the place. Some posts blame the women, saying they should have been smarter. “One white guy and everyone forgets caution,” one angry comment read.
Others turn the finger back on him. “If he knew he was positive and still went around without telling anyone, that’s criminal.” A few voices call for calm, reminding everyone that tests and facts matter before pointing fingers.
This isn’t the first time a viral story like this has taken a grim turn. Similar cases in the past – tourists, influencers, quick flings – have ended with regrets, health scares, or worse. What makes this one stick is the scale. Hundreds of women across three countries, all captured on camera, are now wondering if there’s a bigger price.
For now, the family of the woman in Roysambu is dealing with their loss in private. If the allegations prove true, it could spark lawsuits, health campaigns, and maybe even travel warnings for places like Accra and Mombasa.

The whole saga started as entertainment for some – shocking videos, memes, debates about modern dating. It has turned into something much heavier. Young people in Nairobi are talking more openly about protection, consent, and spotting red flags, like guys who push for same-day plans.
As the day goes on, more details might emerge. Is this death really connected, or just a sad coincidence that got twisted online? Either way, the Russian man’s Africa tour has left a trail of questions that won’t go away easily.
Women who crossed paths with him are being advised to get checked, just in case. And the rest of us? We’re left watching, hoping the rumours stay just that – rumours – while remembering that behind the viral clips, real lives are at stake. The story is developing fast. In the meantime, the name Yaytseslav Trahov feels heavier today than it did yesterday.
