2026 - Kenyan social media influencer, Shes Kemunto, has lifted the lid on
her past relationship with singer, Ian Okwemba Oure popularly known as Iyanii.
Speaking in a candid interview with radio host Alex
Mwakideu, Kemunto dismissed claims that she received a monthly “girlfriend
allowance” of up to Ksh 200,000 from the Donjo Maber hitmaker.
Kemunto revealed that she only ever received the allowance
once during their entire relationship, contrary to Iyanii’s earlier statements
that he regularly supported his partner with between Ksh 150,000 and Ksh
200,000.
However, she explained that the gesture was not a major
factor in their romance, noting that she accepted it out of love rather than
financial need.
The influencer went further, disclosing that she never knew
where Iyanii lived.
She only knew the residence of his friend, a situation that
left her unsettled and emotionally drained.
Attempts to raise the issue often ended in conflict, forcing
her to avoid the topic to keep the peace.
Kemunto admitted the relationship took a heavy toll, saying
she never felt appreciated and often found herself leading instead of enjoying
the partnership.
“I forgot about myself. My feminine side dropped the
moment I entered this relationship. I felt like I was the head, guiding him on
how to treat me,” she confessed.
Despite hoping for a romantic, international‑style
relationship filled with shared experiences, Kemunto said Iyanii was “barely
trying.”
She confirmed they broke up in January after five months
together, ruling out any chance of reconciliation.
“What happened, my birthday was on January 1st; on dates 2nd
and 3rd, I was with him, and after that is when I concluded enyewe hii imeisha, I did not do
any statement, I went silent,” she explained.
Adding: “I gave him that, and he showed me you do not need to give me
another chance.”
