This tweet shared on February 5, 2023, claims to show Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua in attendance at the Roc Nation brunch held on February 4, 2023.
Background
The Roc Nation Brunch was hosted by Roc Nation owner Jay Z on February 4, 2023, pre the Grammy Awards. Singers Ella Mai, Tems, Miguel, Babyface, Pusha T, Kelly Rowland, Janelle Monae, Lil Uzi Vert, and actors MarkWhalberg and Daniel Kaluuya were among a wide array of A-listers in attendance.
Verification
To begin with, Deputy President Rigathi was in the country and not in the United States as claimed. On February 3, 2023, he flagged bags of fertilizer from the Mombasa terminus to Bungoma and Nakuru counties. On February 5, 2023, he and President William Ruto attended a church service at Deliverance Church, Ruai, Nairobi.
A reverse search of the image on Google reveals that the legitimate image is of actor Daniel Kaluuya at the Roc Nation Brunch.
Verdict
The image of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua at the Roc Nation Brunch is SATIRICAL.
