Kennedy Rapudo has chosen to live a low-key life, preferring to stay out of the public eye to keep idle gossipers uncertain about his actions.
In an earlier social media post, he expressed his preference for remaining invisible and leaving idlers clueless about his moves.
Before going public with his relationship with Amber Ray, Rapudo had a relatively quiet social media presence, interacting with only a few fans and friends.
However, their relationship changed the dynamics, attracting attention and raising further speculations about their wealth.
Money Laundering Allegations
Amidst the glitz and glamour, doubts arose about the legitimacy of Kennedy Rapudo and Amber Ray’s wealth.
Amber Ray’s son, Gavin, expressed surprise at his stepfather’s lack of visible work-related activities in an Instagram video.
“I have never seen him at meetings or working. We always seem to have money, but he doesn’t seem to be working; it seems suspicious,” Gavin said.
The video prompted Amber Ray to acknowledge the money laundering allegations against Rapudo.
She revealed that her husband had been accused of being involved in money laundering, which raised questions about the origin of their wealth.
Rapudo, however, defended himself against the allegations, stating that he has hired individuals to work for him and dismissing rumors propagated by idle gossipers.
“I am smart and I have hired people to work for me, people who are as lazy as those who are spreading rumours about me,” said Rapudo.

On a Instagram post, Kennedy penned a message to the trolls who kept minding his family business.
“It’s okay, to be honest about not knowing rather than spreading falsehood. Overthinking is the biggest cause of our unhappiness. Keep yourself occupied. Keep your mind off things that don’t help you,” the businessman captioned.
