Kenyan musician Iyaani has sparked debate after making a bold and unexpected revelation about his personal life. The artist, known for his lyrical talent and unique style, shocked fans when he declared that at 27 years old, he is still a virgin.
“I have never tasted the sehemu telezi nor read the ‘constitution.’ At 27, I am still a virgin. I date women, but we often break up because they want me to read the ‘constitution,’ and I am not interested,” Iyaani said.
He went further to mention his current relationship, adding:
“Even with my girlfriend Kemunto right now, the furthest we have gone is a five-second hug.”
The revelation has divided opinion among his fans and the public. Some praised him for his honesty and discipline, noting that in a society where peer pressure and social expectations often dictate choices, his decision reflects courage and personal conviction. Others, however, have ridiculed his confession, arguing that it paints him as “unserious” in matters of relationships.
Celebrities rarely open up about such intimate details of their lives, and Iyaani’s statement stands out for its bluntness and vulnerability. His words also touch on a wider cultural conversation about relationships, morality, and the pressure on young people to conform to certain social norms.
Whether viewed as a publicity stunt or a genuine personal stand, Iyaani’s revelation has undeniably put him back in the spotlight. It also raises deeper questions about the expectations society places on artists—not just in their careers, but also in their private choices.
