Kenyan musician Iyanii, born Iyan Oure, has stunned fans and the entertainment industry with a deeply personal revelation.
In a candid interview on Iko Nini TV, the Furaha hitmaker shared that he has chosen to remain celibate until marriage, a decision that aligns with his values and principles.
Iyanii admitted:
“I know this is going to be shocking…I have never had intimacy since I was born. I believe in waiting until marriage. Don’t laugh; I am serious. I am a good boy. I have preserved myself.”
The singer’s admission left the show’s host, Mwafreeka, visibly sceptical, prompting some teasing questions about the authenticity of Iyanii’s claim.
However, Iyanii stood his ground, reaffirming his commitment to staying true to his decision.
“It’s not about what people think or say. It’s about what I believe in and the values I hold dear,” he added.
Social Media Reactions
Iyanii’s revelation has sparked a wave of reactions across social media platforms, with fans and critics alike weighing in on the unexpected news.
One user, mc_rumaz, joked, “Iyanii wacha kutubeba kiufala,” expressing disbelief.
Another, shybwoy_latiph, wrote, “Uwongo kabisa,” outright dismissing the claim.
However, others lauded Iyanii’s commitment, with Linette commenting, “That is the way to do it. It’s possible,” and Ritchie adding, “Showbiz. That can’t be true, but if it’s true, then he is principled.”
