Kenyan musician Iyanii has stirred conversation across social media after making a bold and deeply personal revelation about his private life. The singer disclosed that at 27 years old, he is still a virgin and has consciously chosen to remain celibate until marriage.
In a candid post, Iyanii shared that he has never had a sexual encounter, explaining that his decision is rooted in personal values rather than lack of opportunity. Using humour and honesty, he noted that his understanding of intimacy has only come from pictures, not real-life experiences.
The revelation surprised many fans, especially when the musician went on to disclose that he once turned down a lucrative offer from a woman who was willing to give him KSh 3 million to marry her and help her “settle down.” According to Iyanii, he declined the proposal because it conflicted with his principles.
“I am preserving myself until marriage for my wife,” the singer stated, making it clear that his decision is intentional and non-negotiable.
The post quickly ignited mixed reactions online. While some netizens expressed disbelief and humour, others praised Iyanii for his discipline and commitment to his beliefs in an industry often associated with excess and temptation. Several fans applauded him for speaking openly about a topic many consider taboo, especially among male celebrities.
Iyanii’s confession has also reignited discussions around celibacy, societal pressure, and the choices young people make regarding relationships and sexuality.
