Streamer goes live from cemetery at night, sparks chaos online

Kenyan IRL streamer, Tonk also known online as Tonka, has set social media ablaze ignited after streaming live from a graveyard at 2 a.m.

The IRL broadcast, shared widely on platforms such as Instagram, showed him wandering among tombstones in the small hours while speaking directly to the dead. The clip’s eerie setting and uncompromising tone quickly went viral.

Early in the stream he issued what viewers called “the dare,” challenging unseen forces: “I dare you to do this thing... pull up and vibe with the graveyard people right now.” That provocation set the tone for the rest of the recording.

Tonk then is seen moving slowly through rows of graves, showcasing his apparent bravery, at times addressing the silent plots themselves: “All these people cannot address me... but right now you cannot address me. We just came to say hi.”

The casual interaction with the dead, and seemingly repeated taunt, further shocked the audience.

Reaction was immediate and controversial. Supporters praised Tonk’s willingness to push boundaries and experiment with “futuristic” IRL content, arguing that the stunt showed creativity.

Others criticized and even condemned the broadcast as disrespectful to the dead and their families, saying the streamer crossed ethical lines for the sake of social media validation.

Some superstitious viewers warned about the risks of such behavior and psychological harm, noting that the setting and timing were most likely to invoke spirits rather than entertainment.

As the recording circulated, it sparked broader conversations about how far content creators are willing to go, just for the sake of popularity and views.
