Amapiano singer Young Stunna showcased wads of cash in a short video shared by entertainment blogger Musa Khawula on X. The 19-second clip depicted the 27-year-old rapper, who recently paused musical performances for health reasons, in a room at what appears to be a home, his gold grill flashing as he pressed thick bundles of cash against his ear like a phone.

Khawula's caption read:

"Young Stunna shows off his wads of cash." Watch the video below:

The video, filmed vertically with natural light from a window, captured a spontaneous flex typical of Young Stunna's social media style that is often raw and unfiltered.

The flaunting sparks security and tax concerns

The display, with bundles estimated at R100,000 or more based on visible wrappers, unfolded against a neutral backdrop, with Stunna's laugh audible over faint background noise.

No location or context was given, but the act echoed hip-hop tropes of money as prop, his grill adding bling to the scene.

Fans deliver a mix of shade and caution

The replies blended humour with the harsh realities of visibility.

@ChrisExcel102 posted:

"We will use this video as evidence when it’s time to donate."

The comment referenced the tendency of artists in South Africa to go broke and then ask for donations from fans.

@DreadyPrince echoed the sentiment, adding:

"It will end in tears."

@MSeegei commented with an image of watchful eyes and quipped:

"SARS watching like..."

@yangamessi warned:

"Showing off never ends well. Artists don’t want to learn."

@KgomotsoMo21820 quoted Jay-Z:

"Y’all on the ‘Gram holdin’ money to your ear'. There’s a disconnect, we don’t call that money over here."
